Last week was comparatively unevent-
full in the matter of news relating to
American Derby candidates. G. Il. Nor
ris's Sombrero won a clever seven-furlong
event at Oakland on Friday, beating Jo-
sic G., the filly for which $4,000 was ask

thought to initiate against the FLY, but
Sombrero won in a commanding sort of
way at the end. and 1t looks more and
more as IL the Missouri horseman held a
smiling hand in this Derby pot, says a
Chicago paper.
Some of the colts at Memphis were ex-
ercised during the week, but the weather
has really been unfavorabie and no i'm
portance can be attached to anything
done there as yet, except where horses
have been injured.
An interesting race at Oakland on Fri
day was the victory of Water Scratch.
one of the two colts whose entries were
thrown out of the Derby for failure to
comply with the regulations. Water
Scratch won a race IN a fashion which
indicates that he mayt be something of
a colt, coming away with the greatest
of ease at the finish. albeit the field be-
hind him was of ordinary caliber.
