The Hamline race track Is scene Of
activity now, but 1t is during the early
morning hours that It's. attractiveness is
the greatest for the horses are then
given their daily exercise. Almost be-
fore the sun begins TO peep around the
corner of the club hOuse the track Is all
life. Trainers with their animals. stable
hands aud jockeys appear, group after
group, and the flyers are given their
preliminary canters. 1t is this time OF
the morning that finds the rail birds"
with their watches ia hand around the
track. Every horse that is sent in any
thing suggestive OF racing gait Is timed
carefully. and mental note of the mark
Is made for future use. Until yesterday
the rail birds were few. but score or

from now until next Wednesday they'll
be out in larger numbers every day.
About forty of the horses were exer.
cised yesterday morning. Most of them
were given light exercise. but few
were sent along at a clip that showed
them to be in shape to face the flag at
any time. j. E. Cushing was out to the
track bright and early and had his en-
tire string ON the track. HIS horses are
in good shape. Wlghtman was given a
preliminary warming up and. was sent o
halt. which he did in 80, and was pulled
up strong and anxious to run farther.
A half In fifty seconds shows that the
track Is in good condition.
After Wightman's spin the Derby
candidates, Tilsit and lakewood, were
galloped a mile. 1t was light work.
Both of these animals will be in good
shape by next Wednesday. Mr.. Cushing
will give them their trial Monday if
nothing happens. His other horses were
sent along easily.
Nose Terry was sent fye-eighths and
did it in 1:034. There has been many
a race won in poorer time than that for
that distance, and as Terry is not rated
among the best, it shows the condition
of the track better than anything else
could do.
Fred Foster breezed his whole string.
His stable is in the pink Of condition
and already snow the good effect of the
Minnesota climate. None of the horses
was extended yesterday, their work be-
ing confined to light carIters.
Hi Henry, Crosby's horse. was sent
three-Quarters at top speed. but the
time he made was not announced. His
owner said when he came here that he
did not know as he would start any
thing until late i'll the meeting. but that
he had brought them here to recruit.
They have shown such Improvement
that Hi Henry will probably be carded
to start next week. When he doesshs
will be well worth watching.
Barney Schreiber'S whole string was
out. None of them received anything
like work except Servitor and King
Mac. These were sent three-quarters
and moved the last quarter at top speed.
Georgetown and the balance of the
string were simply walked or cantered
Sam Hildreth had King Richard and
the flower of his stable, Ricco, out, and
AL Orth ana Brazos on the track.
Among the strings that arrived at
the track yesterday were those Of Leo
Apologize and Rice Brothers. Hill
drelif's horses included a tWo-year-Otd'
that is full brother of CASH Day. His:

he got bruised IN the wreck and it will
take some days to get him over the eff
fectS of his shaking up. Hildreth's
horses were all in fine condition when
they were landed at the track.
The special train from Cincinnati,
which leaves there this morning at g
O'clock, will reach the track Monday
morning. Some Of the best horses that
have been racing at Latonia will be
among the lot. When they come they
will crowd the already fast-filiing stable
room.
Some of the horses that are coming
here have been winning brackets at
Hawthorne. st. Louis and Latonia DUR
races on succeeding days. Billy South

The hardest work of the club officials
I is now about over, and the little that re-
mains to be done will be cleaned up
early in the week and before the open
ing day. This. secording to all indica-
tons, is going to be the biggest and
best seen at HamlIne. The Derby itself
gives promise at least of being cork.

yet just what horses will start, but the
number will probably come from the
