is AFTER DERBY.
Tichenor Will Make Every Effort to
Win Biq Event.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 29. - M. H.
Tichenor intends making every effort
to capture the American derby this
year. Doc Riddle trainer of the stable,
returned yesterday from Churchill
Downs, after making an unsuccessful
effort to buy English Lad, the crack
two year old of last season.
Riddle stated that Mr.. Tichenor also
asked John E. Madden, part owner
with e. R. Thomas. for price to be
placed on the crack colt Pulsus, in or
der that the firm could be represent
ed by a formidable candidate for the
American Derby, but Madden refused
to entertain any offer. This is taken
as an indication that Madden wants to
win the American Derby with Pulsus.
Riddle however, reports the purchase
OF two three year oIds whose names
are not given. They have been en-
tered in the American Derby and were
purchased from Madden.
