CHICAGO, June 19. = At almost the
eleventh hour the aspect Of the American
Derby field has been radically changed.
Matt Byrnes, the $780, 900 son of Hampton,
heavily backed by his owner, Marcus
DAILY, to win the Washington Park
classic, is reported to have suddenly gone
lame. The colt is said to have stepped
on a pebble at Jerome Park and split his
hoof. Men who know owner DAILY and
trainer Barnes were not slow to compute
that all other eligibles to the American
Derby had but little show with Matt
Byrnes and Senator Grady in the list of
starters.
But to-day when 1t was announced that
Senator Grady was en- route TO Chicago
without his stable mate Matt Byrnes. or
even Daly's other Derby venture, Sam
Lucas, a new turn of possibilities was
given to the wheel of chance. This ex-
element was intensified by the rumor
that after all James r. Keene would not
send Domino, and would probably de-
pend on Hornpipe or FL Telegrapho The
fear of the great colt, Senator Grady,
prime favorite for the Derby, is therefore
much less reduced without Midgley or
Matt Byrnes to help Senator Grady out
in possible contingency. Snapper
Garrison has the opportunity to reassert
his record for ''generalship."
on the other hand, J. w. Rogers
Dorian is hourly becoming dangerous.
OF all the Derby candidates the colt is the
only one that has had a race of Derby
distance in public. and he easily beat Sir
Walter and Sport in the exercise gallop
that the race proved to be. He defeated
four-year-olds and seasoned horses.
Dorian comes of staying lines, and should
the Eastern division be further weak
ened by the absence of Domino, Grady
and Dorian might make team race of 1t.
4 story comes from Hawthorne, which,
if true, may further alter the complexion
of the race. Chris. CarmichaePs bay colt
Cash Day, by Strathmore-Dawn of Day,
is in the hands of Pat Dunno, and despite
the fact that Dunno and Corrigan are fast
friends, the former is said to be quietly
working for Cash Day for coup in the
American Derby. Corrigan has Despot
in the race and will see that Martin has
avowed his intention of giving Corrigan
a tait hful ride on the gelding.
SENATOR GRADY THE FAvoRITE.
CHICAGO, June 19.-The scratching of
Matt Byrnes has left Senator Grady the
favorite among Western horsemen for
Saturdays Derby. His price in the pools
is no lower than that OF Domino, both
selling at to l in local books, but more
money is going Oh the Senator than on
Domino at these figures.
There is a growing suspicion that Me-
Michaels bay colt Cash Day is better
than generally supposed. Cash Day
made his first start at Hawthorne to-day.
and fairly ran away from the field, con-
tanning such medium performers as
Lucky Dog, Loudon, Entire, etc. Those
who saw his performance were ready to
admit that he has a fighting chance for
the race.

AT MORRIS PARK.
NEW YORK, June I9.-It was getaway
day at Morris Park. The Eclipse Stakes
for two-year-olds and the Belmont Stakes
for three-year-olds were the attractions.
When the flag fell, after long delay,
Walter. the favorite. took the lead,
closely followed by Sir Gallahad and
Connoisseur. and they raced in that posi-
ton until the dip was reached, when the
latter wanted to quit, bat Garrison began
with whip and spur, and the colt con-
cluded to go on. At the last eighth
Walter had enough of il, and could not
go any further, in spite of Griffin's hard
work. Then GARRISON. on Connoisseur,
and Sims, on Utica, challenged Sir Gala
had, and furious drive ensued between
the three leading jockeys in the race.
The colts finised together, Garrison fairly
lifting his mount across the line ready to
fall .Taral shook Sims off and got second
