ABOUT BEN BRUSH.
The Favorite for the Kentucky Derby
in Condition.

New York, April Tsp. j. and NJ F.
Dwyer We're early on hand at the
Gravesend race track to see their horses
at work.
Ben Brush had an inning. and many
journeyed from this city and Brooklyn
to see the crack at work. When Sims
broke away with him Brush ran slug
gishly for a time, and then as his rider
hunched him the colt warmed up to
his work.
He ran the first mile in 1852 and the
mile and furlong in POS. In one sense
the work was a disappointment as
many expected that the mile record
for the year over the Gravesend track
would be smashed.
NJ. r. DWyer was Informed by Train
err Hardy Campbell nearly two months
ago that his crack 3 year old Ben
Brush. which Cincinnatians viii see at
LatOnia, weighed 1,O4O pounds. Dwyer
did not believe that the sturdy little
son of Bramble was SO heavy and on
Saturday last they walked him over to
Sheepshead Bay. On the town scales
the colt tipped the beam at exactly =
040 pounds, not having lost anything
up to date through his preparation for
the Kentucky and LatOnia derbies
Brush is so compactly built and is
one Of the biggest horses in training
although he does not look it,

Washington, April 1S--The nomina-

Kansas City, Kansas, is at present
held up in the senate. All the other APP
pointmeuts made at the same time have
been confirmed but there has been so
much dissatisfaction in Kansas City

senators have had it held up.
