the cereal harvests Of 1901 in Prussia will

the requirements of the German empire in
respect to foreign-grown foodstuffs will far
exceed those of any recent year. These
statements are included in a long report

calamity which overhangs the agricultural
population. and urging that the government

BIG CROWD EXPECTED

CHICAGO, June 22-Everything is in
readiness for the American derby at the
Washington Park track this afternoon. AL
though heavy fogs prevailed in the early
hours Of the morning the weather this
forenoon is clear and warm and Forecaster
Cox promises that these same conditions
will prevail this afternoon. The track Is
fast at present, and there is a possibility,
some Of the turfmen say, that the record
may be broken. Everything points to one
Of the greatest crowds and one of the
grandest races in the history Of the event.
Eleven horses are announced as sure to
go to the post. with three doubtful guam
titles on the side. There was lively betting
on the race until late hour last night at
the Auditorium Annex, where a well-known
bookmaker made handbook on a large
scale. When he opened up business His
Eminence and Bonnibert were equal favor
ties at to 2, but pretty soon q we'll
dressed stranger came up and had con-
ference with the bookmaker. AS a result
of this confab the bookmaker took out his
book and did little altering in the prices.
He marked the Parader down to to 2 and
put Bonnibert at Sk and His Eminence at
4. 1t developed that $4,000 had been Of
fered on the Parader in one bunch. The
bookmaker took 5000 and announced that
Bonnibert's friends rallied and that colt
was marked down to to 1, His Eminence
remaining at 4. The prices against the
other sure starters this morning are: to
l Beau Gallant, to each Silverdale and
Lady Schorr, II to 1 each Terminus and
Robert Waddell. i5 to l Sannasero and 80
to Sadie 8. and Six Shooter.
No Open Betting Allowed.
Whether there will be betting at the
track to which the general public may
have access Is doubtful. but it is believed
there will ba plenty Of it. with well-known
bookmakers in charge, although no open
states will be permitted.
There is bound to be great crowd. Even
should rain storm come up and soak the
field the attendance will exceed 5000 and
should the skies be fair at the time for
starting the first race, $4,000 people will
probably see the Derby. There will be the
usual great turnout Of fine equipages and
weIl-dressed society women. the State
