 Louis Derby, at to 5.
 St. Louis Jun4 25.-On The eve of the greas St. Louis Derby the odds are as follows:
 Ornament, even; Typhoon. to 3; Buck Bldiere, to 1; Imp. Kings Council, 20 to l; Da.e IL. 30 to l; 'Goshen 40 to l.
 The six 3-year-olds m ntioned in the foregoing are confidently expected 10 go to she post There may be one or two othsrs-Dr Shepherd, for inetance-but virtually the race interest eenters on Typhoon and Ornament.
 Locally Ornament is heavily payed, because he is a Missouri horss and be- cause his recent work has pleased those who have carefully watched. Typhoon IL is in shape to race for a mans life.
 Today Ornament, accompanied by Owner Patterson, arrived. The Derby candidate was brought over from Ia- tonia in a palace car, and the trip was accomplished withou9 any bad results The colt is in the best possible shape It Is unfortunate ,here will not be good track. After the heavy rains .hrse or four days of sunshine would have put the track in splendid condition but to- day the track is sea of mud from the heavy rains of Thursday night. Satur- day afternoon even with eight hours of sunshine the course would only be in the first stages of drying out.
