Little Rock, Ark. March 24-The second
day Of the Arkansas Jockey Clubs meeting
was given over almost entirely to the sell.
ing pla:ers. There was no stake event on
the programme to relieve the monotony
and the only performance above the ord
nary was that shown by Barney Schreiber's
Foul Shot-Valeria colt. Leopard, in the
four furlongs for maiden e-year-olds.
The colt had started once before at New
Orleans and ran well among the bss. OF
his age, and on that account he was pro-
hibitive favorite in to-day's race. The odds
laid were l TO 3. and it is doubtful If muci,
could have been bet on him at that price
in the four books which comprise the syn
dicate.
The track here is sandy. and at leas.

bE6B1 PRELIMINARY.
The seven furlongs for s-year-olds was
framed as try-out for the Arkansas Der
by eligfbles. but there were only four start
ers and Captain Browns Tancred was a
t,to-s choice. backed from S TO s. He had
the foot OF the party and led all the way.
When the barrier was raised he rushed to

Sigmund, Schreiber's reliance In the Der
by. was the only one which gave hirl an
argument, and that was not a very sturdy
one. The race is sure to improve the Bal
gowan colt, however, and IL the pair meet
again, 1t is not unlikely that Sigmund will
beat Tancred the same way rigged and
over the same distance.
Sgmund Is looked upon as q sure starter
in Thursdays race, but he is not thought to
have much chance against Tom Stevens's

CHICKADEE A DISAPPOINTMENT
Four of the favorites were at odds on in
the betting and the only one Of them which
failed to land in front was Chickadee who
perhaps was the best backed horse during
the afternoon: She was backed down from
TO 20 to 5, but could only finish second
and she had no excuses. Joe Lesser at 2
