for Timber-TOpPinE stake.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Louisville Ky. Feb. 8-Steeplechase
racing in Louisville this spring is going to
be put on higher plane than ever be-
fore This fact was shown yester-
day when Manager Charles +. Price of
the New Louisville Jockey Club an
nounced the nominations TO the stake for
timber-toppers. .
There are fiftyseven nominations to the
local jumping event. more than 20 any
similar race In the West, and among TINS
number are some of the most noted
steeplechase performers in the country.
w. F. Maclean. member OF the Canadian
Parliament, has named Step Lightly and
Camembert to start in the Louisville race.
Both are well known jumpers. and the
fact that MIR. Maclean has nominated
the officials OF the Louisville Jockey CLUB
The list of nominations also contains
the name of Fraraday. Jr.. the jumper
which won the Latonia Steeplechase hand
is owned by c. T. Waltring. and his VIC
tory In the I.atonia event was popular.
In this same race. however. Faraday. Jr.,
was lucky in that he had only one con-
tender going over the last jump and there
is no reason why the Waltring geldinS
should not be made favorite.
John W. Schorr. the wealthy Memphis
brewer-turfman. has named Duke of Con-
naught to start in the local race. This
will be Mr.. Schorr's initial effort to win
a race over the jumps and his horse will
be watched with interest. Other well

CORBETr AND SULLIVAN To-x
Men to Go Twenty Roands at
Weighing In at 10 E66Hd

Young Corbett and Dave Sullivan battle
tonight at San Francisco. the so-called
feather weights being scheduled to go
twenty rounds at l3o pounds. This will be
the most important contest in which Sulii-
van has engaged since his match with
McGpvern and Cor5ett is thought TO have
q stronger proposition on his hands than is
generally believed.
With the MunroSharkey affair over
shadowing the battle on tie Coast. sur
seem to b. whether Young Corbett will
put Sullivan away early or late in the
battle Few local sports can be found
who expect Dave to last the distance.
And yet. when Sullivan's good work of
late is considered and his hard fight
against McGovern recalled. it cannot be
seen wherein COrhett has such an easy
conquest before him
Puginstic authorities on the Coast are
agreed that Dave has been working faith
fully. They all state that he has trained
far as they can see. and that he seems
as fast as ever Under those circum-
stances. ne should be able to give Corbett
hard rub.
One feature of the battle may be the
graduation OF Young Corbett into the
legitimate lightweight class He is TO
with Sullivan. and ii is said that he may
decide TO change his title and announce
himself as the lightweight champion-al-
ways assuming that he wins.
Joe Cans has admit tedly Outgrown the
lightweight limit and is to battle Joe
WaIcott some time in the indefinite future
for the welter-weight title. This puts Cor
bett where he can claim the lightweight
title with justice.
About the sole sporting man who be
lieveS that Sullivan has a chance for a.
draw is Frank Benson. who said last even
ing that he thought Dave might outlook
Corbett and stay away from him for
twenty rounds
Sullivan is clever fighter" he said
and he can certainly box with any ot
them | do not believe that he can pun
Corbett away. But | think he can nut
un the hardest battle the champion mas

Frank Hart picks Young Corbett.
He will win in knockout in about
fourteen rounds. and Sullivan will have

Ostrich and Fort Plain the Only
Candidates for New Orleans
Feature That Can BE Rated.
LATE GOSSIP OF THE TRACK.
John Powers Has in Gravina
What Is Thought to Be the
Most Consistent Performer
Racing at Crescent City.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New Orleans. La. Feb 2s,-With the
possible exception OF Ostrich and Fort
Plain, the prominent Crescent City Derby
candidates that have been racing here
are a very uncertain lot. Floral King was
in great favor after he split Captain Ar
mold and Tribes Hill while conceding
great weight to both horses. On the
strength Of this performance he was made
an odds-on favorite over Foresight. To
the intense surprise of all hands Fore
sight beat him in the most impressive
manner.
Then Reduan. supposedly only a cheap
selling platter, came alcng and beat Fore
sight when the latter was he'd at odds
on. Figuring on these races. Redman
holds both Foresight and Floral King
safe in the Derby. kansas Price bought
Redman recently from Father Biz
DAILY. Price thinks he has an outside
chance of winning the stake with Red
man.
After winning four straight races Fort
Plain was finally beaten in the George
Washington Handicap. The defeat was no
disgrace TO the colt, however. as ne was
giving away weight TO every horse In the
race. Floral King tried 10 do the same
Fort Plains fate.
HILDRETHS CAMPAIGN.
Sam Hildreth admitted to friend the
other day that his New Orleans winter
campaign has cost him $1,000. He is a big
better and seldom lets one of his horses
run loose. Hildreth is no Judge OF price
whatever. The shorter the odds are the
better 1t suits him. He has shipped his
entire stable to Memphis. This probably
means that none OF his horses will start
in the Crescent City Derby. He has
Cognomen, Monastic and Safety Light In
the stake Hildreth weeded cut his sta BILE
before leaving here. He gave away two
horses-Sarner and Friar Tuck. Both are
cripples Friar Tuck was injured here
recently.
Ostrich ran a poor race behind Fore
sight the other day. II was not exactly
a poor race either as both colts carried
weight and ran fast. The disappointing
feature was Ostrichs defeat. He may
have been, a trife short. as 1t was his
first start in some time. Foresight. which
belongs to Bishop Poole. and is trained
