NIGHT RACES AT ST. LOUIS

By Electricity.
when Won der Ahe's Browns Play ut
Home the Runners VIII Have an
Inning When Darkness Comes.

St. Louis March 31.-As near as can be
cleaned by persistent inquiry, 1t is the
idea at Sport sman's Park TO run the races
at night, beginning April 16, on the after
noon of which day the baseball season Will
open in St. Louis The day races VIII con
tinue right up to the opening OF the sea-
son, and then Will be shifted to the night.
For several weeks the electric poles have
been going up around the park, and are
now all in. The strinying OF them with wires
is about completed, and the promoters are
hugging themselves with Joy over the pros
pect OF racing right through without the
loss of u day.
1t is rather doubtful what the patrons of
ba sebali Will think OF this scheme, but one
thing is certain, they Will not take very
eagerly 10 it, The plan is no doubt TO eX-
ercisc a monopoly OF racing in st. Louis un-
til the fair grounds season opens, and then
catch the snekelS of those who are sue
Ccssful at the fair grounds.
According TO the plan outlined by one
who is concerned in the welfare OF tie
track the fences on either side or The stretch
will be removed each II orDing, and the
ground about the home plate ieveed and
rolled so as to admit or the regular gan
being pla ycd in the afternoon. This work
will necessarily be donc quickly, as the
horses Will have 10 be given Their regular

PRINCE LIEF AT LOUISVILLE.
GcCIelland's Handsome Colt Watched
by Leading Turfman.

Louisville, KY, March 3l.-Prince Lief
is attracting much attention at the Louis
vile track, where McCIelland's horses
now are. He is u handsome colt by King
Eric. His sire was thought 10 be Il good
three ycar-old, and in $50 won the Withers
stake, one of the greatest wishes of the late
Mr.. Withers, after whom the event was
named. This was the last season Mr..
Withers' horses raced.
At that time KNAPP Mccarthy was the
trainer for the stable, and had forsaken
the trotters for the runners, King Eric was
unnamed al tn time land was then known as
the Cyclone colt. After he was named ne
raced but little, never winning. His sire
was imported King Ernest, OF no great ac-
count in the stud.
Prince Lief was Il puzzle as n twO-year-
Old. He won one really great race, and
that was one overnight handicap for Il mile
and an eighth, against aged horses. Up
to that time he was regarded as a sprinter r
with great flight of speed. Then it was
argued that he liked distance, but would
not carry weight.
This winter he has filled out, and looks
as if he would pick up the 122 pounds al
IOtted three year-olds in stake events and
win. lie has some good Western engage
ments. but Nimrod, his stable mate, Will be
asked to take the Kentucky and Latonia
Derbies.
Three years out OF the past five McClcl-
land has brought out the great three year
old, Bermuda, in 1891: in 1892 and 1893
he had none: in 1894, it was Henry of
Navarro. and last season Halma. Is it a
bit strange that turfmen are watching
Prince Lief?
