MAY GO T0EASTERN COLT
AMERICAN DERBY NEXT WEEK
Been Showing Up in the
.--r Best Form.

Anywhere from half dozen to dozen
eastern stables may be represented in the
American derby at Chicago next Saturday,
and it looks very much as II one of the
easterners might carry off the prize. Heno,
Of c. H. Mackay's stable, is already on
the ground, and Is the favorite in the
popular mind at present. Green Morris will
bring Homestead and Old England, OF
whom the latter has performed better
this year than any colt In the east, while
Homestead Is generally esteemed to be
as good II not better than his stable COM
panion. Morris also has Sombrero, colt
with q great liking for the mud, and
Cunard, to fall back upon.

both speed and endurance in the few races

old, and seems to have retained much OF
his form.
Against all these speedy colts the west
ern horses do not show up in the best
form. Abe Frank. who was strong IA
vorite in the midwinter derby books, is
now practically acknowledged to have no
business in the derby. The horse cannot
run a mile and half, in fast company,
and may not start next Saturday, although
he has been heavily backed by his owners.
Cruzados has been doing good work,
and S. c. Hildreth thinks that with one OF
his three horses. McChesney, Lord Quex
and Lucian Appleby he has the big stake
as good as won. Others, however, are in
clined to differ. Owenton, the Kentucky
horse, has done little Of late. but Is being
carefully conditioned, and will go to the
| post very fit. -E

chance If the track at Washington park
gets sufficiently heavy. Taken all to-
gether, however, the western colts which
have appeared much in races this year do

Three Big Winners.
August Belmont has won $45, 900 in five
races with three of his colts this year.
Mizzen. Masterman and Namtor are the
| trio Of young horses which have brought
their owner in this fortune. All three
are by the young stallion Hastings, the
| most successful Sire OF racing horses this
year.
Mizzen started out the year by winning
| three rich stakes in succession-the Juve-
| nile, National Stallion and Eclipse. In all
three he defeated Dalesman, James R.
Keene's highly esteemed 2-year-old.
Masterman made himself doubly dear to
his owner by winning the stakes named
| in honor of the latter's father, the late
August Belmont. Manchester won the
Baychester stakes.

GOLFERS ARE BUSY
Players Hard at Work Practising
for State Tournament.
MINNEAPOLIS CLUBS HOPEFUL
They Have II Chance This Year tc
Carry OFF Individual and
Team HOnOrs,

Minneapolis golf clubs will make a de-
termlned effort to carry off the individual
and team honors in the coming state tour
nament at the Minikahda links.
The individual championship naturally
will be the feature upon which most at
tentlon will be concentrated. Rev. Mr..
Thurston Of Winona, who won the first
honors in last years tournament at Wi
mona, will naturally be favorite, but the
Minneapolis players think that some man
can be found in either the Minikahda or
the Bryn Mawr clubs who can defeat
Thurston. rF
The Winona man had the advantage Of
playing on his own links last year, and
this year the advantage in this line will
accrue to the Minikahda men, and in a
lesser degree to the Bryn Mawr and Town
and Country players, who are familiar
with the Bryn Mawr links.
The team match for the Spalding trophy
will naturally attract much attention. This
cup is offered this year for the first time
and will be played for by teams of four
men from each club. The Minneapolis
teams have shown up in very good form in
their matches with the outside clubs thus
far, ,and this has aroused confidence that
either Bryn Mawr oreMinikahda will carry
off the handsome trophy. Minikahda has
defeated both the Meadowbrook team of
Winona and Town and Country of St. Paul
NY UI6 SCOie, Wulle bTyn MaWr naQ an
easy time in its match with Faribault.
Prize for Best Medal Score.
1T is possible that medal for the best
score made in the qualifying round for the
individual championship will be offered in
addition to the prizes already announced.
1t Is customary in such tournaments to
offer such a prize for the best score in
the round of medal play. =
It is expected that the entries for the
individual championship contest will be
much larger than last year. although as
yet it is impossible to form any close
estimate of the number. So far the play
ers have not shown their real form. Lack
OF practice, due to weather conditions,
has prevented some of the best men from
reaching their best FORM and rain has
kept the grounds in condition which has
made it hard to make an. accurate COM
parison of the play of the different men.
The players, however, will put in good
hard work during the next ten days be-
fore the opening of the tournament, and
<expect to be in the best shape before
June 26.
Minikahda VS.. Town and Country.
The result Of the game between the
Town and Country and Minikahda clubs
on the Town and Country links this after
noon will furnish a better means of judg-
ing the work of the men than any pre-
vious matches. The Minikahda men do
not expect that, playing Town and Country
on the home links of the latter they will
be able to gain SO sweeping victory as
they did a few weeks ago on the Mini
kahda grounds, but they are quite conf
dent of victory, though possibly by mar
row margin. - -a4--.

STARTLED BY o'BRIEN
HIS work SURPRISES EXPERTS
Philadelphia Middle Proves That He
Can Stay With the Best of the
MiddIewefghts.

Jack O'Brien, the Philadelphia middle
weight fighter, has startled the followers
of the ring since his return from England,
where he polished Off all the best middle
and heavy weights for that country with
the greatest ease. .'Gr
Before his trip to England, O'Brien was
regarded as second rater In his class,
and his long string Of victories in England
were thought in this country to indicate
the weakness Of the British fighters
rather than any particular speed or
science of O'Brien himself.
O'Briens' work since coming to Ameri-
ca, however, has been a revelation. He
especially gained favor in his bout with
AL Neill. The latter is slugger, and
not only outclassed the San Francisco
man in point Of science, but cut him into
ribbons and sent him to the grass in the
third round.
It is now held by the majority that
there is no man in the country who can
make the middleweight limit of 154, save
Tommy, Ryan, who would stand
much chance with O'Brien AS to Ryan,
one can only theorize as he has shown
great enthusiasm in keeping away from
any hard propositions in recent years,
and would probably be very averse to get
ting within range of the hard jabs of the
Philadelphia man.
Jeffries in Hard Training.
Jim Jeffries is training at Harbin
Springs, Col, for his coming match with
Fitzsimmons. e.
The champion is delighted with the
country life which his training affords
him, and he is making every effort to put
himself in the best condition.
While Jeffries is very confident of de-
feating the man from whom he wrested
the chamDionshiD at Coney TS1and he is
not taking any<chances, and Is leaving NO
stone unturned to harden himself for the
occasion. ~.
Long walks and journeys through the
woods are Jeffries' chief pastime when he
Is not going through his routine sched-
ule. In, fact, Jeffries considers this sort
of exercise part of his training for climb
ing up the mountain sides goes far to
harden his muscles and incidentally help
along the wind apparatus. In the latter
respect the champion is already well
equipped, for he can out trot any of the
members OF his camp in a long journey.
Whenever Jeffries goes through the
woods he carries his gun, and wo to the
game that the big boi1ermaker discovers
He is al fine shot, and has held the record
for game ever since the party arrived
here.
Manager Billy Delaney and Kid Egan
are looking after the training camp. while

WOMEN RIDE ASTRIDE
NEW WORKERS ADOPT FASHION :
Miss Mary Van Buren Says Side Seat
Is Losing Popularity in
the East.

Should women ride horseback astride?
is question that has been debated pro
and con for years, and which has never
been settled. Counties efforts have been
made to introduce the fashion among the
society leaders of eastern cities, but for
some reason most women have never talk
en- up the fad, although it is declared by
| those who have tried it to be much more
comfortable and safe than the old side
seat.
Miss Mary Van Buren,, leading woman
OF the Frawley company, is one Of those
who indorse the new fashion. "You
| would be surprised to see the number OF
OF riding In the east she said recent
ly. ut really seems strange, however,
| the tho fashion should not have become
popular long ago. for it is much more
comfortable and safer than the side seat.
And really woman looks quite as we'll
riding astride if her habit is properly
made In fact she appears more graceful
feels more secure in the saddle.
II saw@a woman riding this way at a
parade in this city the other night. Her
habit was made very FULL and from either
side she looked quite as If she was US
| ing the side saddle
Miss Van Buren is herself an ardent
| equestrienne, although she has been COM
PEELED to abandon this fayorite pastime
in recent years on account of lack of
time. Most of her girlhood was spent in
Zapata county, Texas, and one Of the first
presents she received from her father
was a pony.
3If you have never ridden except in and
about a city, said Miss Van Buren, "you
| have not known what real riding is.
After galloping over the plains with the
prairie wind in your face. it seems very
tame to amble about a park on society
| woman's gated horse. Still that fsr bet
ter than not riding at all, and while j am
horse to ride. With the beautiful drives
in Minneapolis it seems very strange to
me that the sport has never become
more popular in this city.

OFF FOR PoUGHKEEPsIE
Badger Crews Leave to Take Part
In the Big Race.

Madison, Wis, June 1.-Two Wiscou-
sin boat crews, the varsity and the fresh
men, left this morning for the east and
the big race at Poughkeepsie. 1t was de-
cided last evening that the freshmen
should go, though enough money has not
been collected to pay all the expenses, and
1t was found necessary to raise $500 by
way OF a note in order to take both crews.
Rough weather for the past two or three
days has interfered somewhat with prac-
tice, but both crews are In good shape, and
the varsity is believed to be the strongest
crew which has represented Wisconsin.
All but two members are veteran oarsmen
who have taken part in one OF. more of the
four races Wisconsin has rowed in as
many years against the eastern cracks,
an dthese two were candidates, but were
outclassed by newer men. The crew has
had the advantage OF longer work in the
boat than former crews, owing to the
fact that the ice went out of the lakes
considerably earlier than usual this year.
Coach O'Dea has paid much attention to
developing staying ability as we'll as form,
the men are all in good condition, and
taken altogether the feeling is that If Wis
consin ever wins the big eastern race, it
will be this year.
The last days of practice have been de-
voted largely to developing quick starts
and prompt response to spurts, raising the
stroke to racing form, and other finishing
touches. The personnel of the crew is as

ONWARD SILVER LOST
Speedy Trotter Will Probably Never

but under long course of drilling by
Ed Geers he improved and was fast and
game, two qualifications which always
gain admiration for race horse.
Possibly the unsteadfness which On
ward Silver showed in his race was the
result OF injudicious handling early In
his career. Prominent horsemen say
that he was better actor last year than
he was the previous season, and the
chances are that he would have been

Moffatt and Steere are the new men in
the varsity boat. Moffatt was captain Of
the 'O2 freshman crew, rowing at No. Z.
and was a sub on the varsity two years
ago. Last year he went into track athletics
instead of rowing. Steere was a sub in
the 'O2 freshman crew, has been hard
worker, and this year made good" for
the varsity. He is one of the strongest
men in the crew, but has the fault of car
rying his oar back too fast All the others
have taken part in Wisconsin's previous
close races in the east and are in better
form than ever before to row the race of
their lives.
-Four subs will be taken along: J. O..
Lyman, who rowed at No 2 in the 80
boat: B. F. Lounsbury, sub in last years
boat; D. D. Lounsbury, who rowed bow
last year, and B. M. Palmer, who was a
sub last year. ~
The freshman crew also is strong this
year, rated as good as the victorious
freshman crew OF two years ago, and there
is great confidence that they will win
their race: One change in the freshman
crew was made yesterday, Lindsay being
substituted for Shepherd. -a. IS

posed exclusively of roots and herbs. Now
is the time to get the poison out of your
system, as delay makes your condition
worse. Don't experiment longer with

Mr.. s. M. Marshall, bookkeeper of the Atlanta

Oak. He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various
other drugs, and applied externally numerous
lotions and salves with no benefit. At times the
swelling and inflammation was severe he was
almost blind. For eight years the poison would
break out every season. His condition was much
improved after taking one bottle of S. s. s.. and
a few bottles cleared his blood of the poison and
all evidences of the disease disappeared.
People are often poisoned without
