Probably the greatest of the many turf
events which annually created a wide
| spread interest from Maine to Oregon is
the American Derby, one mile and a half
| which is to be run in Chicago. 1t is
| open to 3-year-olds only, and the leetest
| and best horses representing the east
west. north and south are entered to
| struggle for the prize, which amounts
| to $4,000 Last year Domino, The greatest
| race horse since Salvador was king of
the turf, was one of the Contestants, and
although Fred Taral had the mount, he
was hopelessly beaten, not because his
opponents were his peers but be-
phrase, on the journey from New York
TO Chicago. In fact Marcus Days crack
Senator Grady, with &. H Garrison, the
premier American jockey, on his back
Baldwins Rey FL SANTA Anita, who
beat the best horses with the champion
| jockeys, Taral, Garrison and Bergen. 1t
was the fourth time that,the Rey FL Santa
Anita stables of CalifoT MIA had captured
this turf plum. In this years race the
eastern stables that win be represented
| are James r. & FoxhaM Keene, Gideon &
| DAILY, August Belmont and Col. Fred Rup-
| pert, etc. Gideon q DAILY have Walter
| and Keenan, entereds James r. & Fox
hall Keene, Agitatori August Belmont,
| Magian and BrandyWine. 1t will be the
east against the south and the west,
| and judging by the galaxy of royal-bred
| winners in their 2-year-old form, the
race should be grand one and delight

| should win if he runs up to his form in
| 1894. E. II. Garrison will probably ride
| Magian or Brandywine, who should be
| in the first three. Marty Bergen, another
famous jockey. Will ride the pick of Ed
ward Corrigan, the great western turf
mans entries, while Johnny Griffin will
| either ride Walter or Keenan,. Every
| crack 3-year-old from the Pacific slope to
/ Maine will engage in this great event,
and millions of dollars will change hands
! on the result
The race has been captured five times
| by California horses, and so far an east
ern horse has never won. In 1884 Mod
| esty won the vace in 2:42A. Volante. re-
presenting the Pacific slope, won the race
in 1885, and Silver Cloud, from San Fran
cisco, won the race in 1886 in Easy. The
race in 1887 was won by c. H. Todd, from
| the Pacific coast, in 2:3714, and the EN-
peror or Norfolk, from California, cap
| tured the race in 1888 in 2:36. Spokane,
| western horse, was the winner in 1889 in
| 2:41A Uncle Bob, a western horse, was
! the victor in 1890 in 2:551a,
| Strathmeath a western horse. was
| the victor in 1891 in 2:49lk Carlsbad, an
! other western horse, won in 1892 in 3:045z
| Boundless, a southern horse, ridden by
! f. H. Garrison, won the race in 1898, while
1 in 1894 Rey Ell Santa Anita, of San Fran
| cisco, won
The Futurity, for two-year-oIds, is run
| in the fall at the COney Island Jockey
! Club, distance three-quarters of a mile.
| This, as wen as the great Eclipse stakes
! for two-year-olds, and the Realization
stakes for all ages, is in the purple dis
| lance and comment would be premature.
Judging by the form displayed by the
two-year-olds last year, the best three
year-olds will be Butterflies, Walter,
! Keenan,, Agitator, Connoisseur, Magian,
| Brandywine, Lissak, Cesarion, Gotham
and Counter Tenor. Last year ended with
! the two-year-olds in a mixed up condition,
| and with the exception of Butterflies, they
were not running up to form, but in and
| out and beating one another
| The beautiful Butterflies is the only one
| that has not been beaten, and has won
! her races like a high-class flly. 1t is
| the opinion of all good judges that Butter
| flies is of a very high class. Her turn of
! speed is marvellous, and she has indomi-
| table courage.
Walter. in the same stable with But
| terfiies, should be q great 3-year-old, and
| run we'll in the American Derby, provided
| his chances are not killed at the post, as
/ they were on two occasions at Sheepshead
| Bay in the fall. Still, l think he was
| lucky in winning the American Stakes
at the Brooklyn spring meeting. inasmuch
| as Gotham ran himself to a standstill in
| the sticky going In the great Trial stakes
\ at the SheeDshead June meeting Walter
/ made the other competitors look very
small, winning, as he did, without an
effort.
