ALARD SCHECK IN FORM

While Hermann Has Not Worked
Ont Less Than IA.

Nashville Tenn, April 26.-The impress
sion prevails among horsemen here that
Garry Hermann, the Kentucky Derby ia
vorite, win not be a starter in the big
3-year-old event at Churchill Downs on
Monday. One prominent owner said to-
day that Captain Brown had bought
Garry Hermann with the intention of
winning the American Derby at Wash
ington park. and that he had given
Trainer Tucker orders not TO start the
son Of Esher and SILK Gown in any race
which would impose a penalty if he won.
1t IS also said Tucker has written to q
trainer here that Garry Hermann will not

but viii be pointed for the American
Derby according to the wish of Captain
Brown If the story is true-and it has
all the earmarlzs Of being so-those who
have backed Garry Hermann in the win

ESAFeu a IluIHpcI OF 4eLAeHS from tHd4ltSfS
at Churchill Downs to the effect that
Garry Herann was not good. and he at
tributes this idea to the fact that the
colt is not ready. and that his trainer
is not hurrying him with the idea Of
starting him in the Kentucky Derby.
Garry Hermann two weeks ago worked
a mile in 1;44A- This is the best work
he has done. If he starts he viii have a
chance to win and in order to have a.
chance to win he viii have to be set down
at least twice before Derby day, next
Monday.
He must be worked a mile in less than

win the Derby.
Alard Scheck has run miles in some
thing like 1-42 While he was beaten at
Memphis three times, he has been better

known as a seasoned race horse. and if

STORY OF FUNSTON.
Write Up of Kansas General in East
ern Magazine.

An appreciative review Of the career
of Fred Funston and the browning
achievement of his fame by the capture
of Aguinaldo appears in the May issue
of THE Worlds Work" Summarizing
the magazine article concludes: THE
distance between this country and the
Philippines makes the soldiers seem
vague and uncertain figures. Only oc-
casionally when they perform some ex-
traordirary deed do they stand out
clear and firm in the sight of the public
General Funston stands SO now and
gives promise Of keeping the position.
His rise has been rapid, almost without
precedent; but it has been won by ex-
traordinary achievement
Five years ago he was unknown; to-
day, at the age of Sc, he IS a brigadier-
general in the United States army. He
has gone through the horrors of Death
Valley; he has lived through a long
Arctic night; he has fought for a people
whom he thought oppressed; he has
swum rivers. driving savage enemies
before him; he has led bloody charges,
and, last of ALL he has captured the
leader of the Filipino instruction. A
man who has done all these things is a
man who sets the blood tingling and
gives wings to the imagination"

WOMEN TO RIDE AsrRIDE.
Brooklyn GIRL Promises Sensation at

New York April 26.-Young lady mem
bers Of the Brooklyn Riding and Driving
club promise a sensation at the horse
show to be held across the river. They
will ride astride. One of them said to-
day:
This opposition to riding cross saddle
is all hosh. Women do it out west; they
90 1t IN Boston Why. I've seen we'll
known London society leaders ride
astride down the row. There is nothing
immodest about it. All who have seen a
woman ride cross saddle have been forced
to admit that the sight was not at all
shocking Any woman who has ridden
that way never wants to use the side
saddle again. It Is a safe, natural and
altogether graceful position. and the
young women of Brooklyn are not going
to be deferred from following a sens ble
fashion just because a lot of old fogies
hold up their hands in horror Many a
girl who rides cross saddle would be
ashamed to appear in some OF the ball
costumes that these very particular ma
irons affect"
