INAUGURAL HANDICAP AT ST. LOUIS.
ST. LOUIS (Mo.), May 9.-The Inaugural
handicap on May 11th promises to be the
best st axe event contested thus far this
year. as all indications point to big
and high-class field. The list OF probable
starters and weights, as well as it can be
sized up, is as follows: Yo Tambien (l16l,
Dorian (116), Libertine Q12). O'Connell
QlS), Simmons Q02), Figaro Q0D, Wekota
(94), Eurania (93), Amelia May (93), st,
Augustine (90). This makes list of ten,
and in addition are Henry Young do,
Potentate (108), Plutus Q0S) Linda (1O4),
who may also pay the starting fee.
Clifford l24) is in Chicago and is re-
ported to be stiff and sore. DR.. Has
brouck Q24 is at the fair grounds, but
has not been doing well enough to sat-
isfy owner Barrick, so there Is little
chance of his starting. Ethel Gray Q0S)
will be sent to the post If she can stand,
but will probably have to stand a passive
witness OF the contest. John Cooper is at
the fair grounds, but is lame and will not
be ready to go to the post. Of the others
which have not been declared they are
either so far away or have so little chance
that they will surely scratch out
Strange to say, the best work shown
thus far was by Murphy's Wekota, the
four-year-old son Of Wanwekus and SAL
lie Warren. Last year Wekota won some
good races at the fair grounds and won
some good races at New Orleans and
Nashville this spring. he went mile in
1:424 with his weight up and did it very
handily.
Cash Sloan will ride Simmons. carry
ing three or four pounds overweight,
and even at that the horse looks to be
strong contender. Cash has worked him
twice, sending him mile Friday in 1:45f
and on Sunday mile in 1:45. To-day he
will be given his final workout, just as
will all the other possible starters.
OConnell has been showing strong and
good and has done mile in hand in
about Lao.

AMERICAN HORSES IN ENGLAND.
NEWMARKET, May 9.-There was gen.
eral surprise among sportsmen when it
was announced this afternoon that NJ. +.
Dwyer's Harry Reed and Richard
Croker's Stonnell have been scratched
for the Jubilee Stakes. Croker has also
scratched all of his two-year-Olds except
Montauk for all the engagements. Reed
had been clocked over the Rowley mile
course early in the day and done well,
which makes the action of his owner
puzzling to The English sportsmen.
