Horses.
A special petition was sent in Yester-
day by the management of the Twin
City Jockey club for a pleasant day for
the great Derby which will be run this
AFTERNOON at the Hamline track. Prep
arations have been going on for several
days for the event, and it is expected
that there Will be the largest number of
people on the grounds today that has
been seen at that place since the first
event there.
The first race will come off at 2 80. and
there will be five races during the day
The Derby will not be run until about
4o'clock, but the preceding events will
be-very interesting, and there will be a
number of good horses to participate in
Ril of them.
The management of the Twin City
Jockey club is to be congratulated OH
the number of good horses which have
been secured for the coming meeting,
as there will be more representative
stables on the grounds, and are already
there, than there have been seen before
in this part of the country. 1t has been
the misfortune of the club to be unable
to secure many good stables in previous
years, but this year the capacity of tue
grounds has been overrun by the large
lumber of horses which hare been
brought here.
The Great Northern will run three
additional special trains to the Iair
grounds. These will leave both st.
Paul and Minneapolis as follows j:
From st. Paul at p. H., 1:3O D. nj. and
2p. m.; from Minneapolis at l p. M,
1:25 p. m. and Up. In. These. together
with the special leaving Minnetonka
Beach, will give unparalleled service.
The interurban cars will run four
minutes apart from both cities. giving
transfers at Smelling avenue. on which
avenue electric cars will run two min.
utes apart into the fair grounds. Cars
will be run OH the Hamline line three
minutes apart. Supt. Smith, of the
street car company, stated yesterday
that if it were found necessary to run
more frequent cars on the lines leading
~ 6lO0hNto thSy NOuid NC Aui O4tCh-
er than the times announced. They will
be run as often as necess ary to accom-
modate the public.
There will be seven starters In the
great Derby; Oakwood. Prince Carl,
Senator .Irby, Brahma, Wekota. Tom
Gilmore and Long Bridge. Oakwood
will be ridden by Jordan and will carry
119 pounds. Prince Carl and Senator
1rby will be ridden by jockeys
H.fo will arrive from Chicago this
morning for that purpose and the others
will have good mounts. At the Office
OF the Twin City Jockey club last even
ing telegram was received to the eff
feet that Prince Carl and Senator Irby
had started for this city and would be
on hand for the Derby. Before this
notification was received it was expected
that one Of the best cards for the COM
ing contest was held by Brahma, The
winner of the Roby Derby, and his
chance is still good. The arrival of
these horses will insure good race and
place the event oil footing with the
crac.l meetings of the country. Tom
Eimore and Long Bridge will each carry
ia pounds, Oakwood 119 pounds, and
Wekota, Brahma, Prince Carl and SEN
ator Irby will Gerry 122 pounds each.
There are number of bookmakers in
the city for the purpose OF doing bust
ness at the track during the meeting,
several of them arriving from Chicago
last evening. The betting Will prob
ably be lively, and it is expected that
there will be large amount of money
change hands during the session. The
management will see to it that the
boollmaking is done in proper man
ner and the public given the best
possible chances to get a good show
for their money.
Some of the owners of the Derby
candidates have announced their in
tentions of placing large sums of
money on their horses, and their be-
lief in the prowess of their various
steeds will be literally backed. 1t is
said that one of the owners has an.
nouuced his intentions of placing
$4,000 on his horse today.
For several weeks the management of
the club has had large force of men at
work on the track getting everything
in condition for the meeting, and the
public will find everything arranged in
the best possible manner for their ac-
comlnodation. The track is pronounced
by horsemen to be a very fast one. and
it is probable that some of the records
will be broken before the close of the
meeting. Everything points to most
successful meeting, and it is probable
that today will witness test of the ca
pacity of the management to care fol
all immense crowd.
