are sure to be depopulated, as has been
the case for years. The rank and file
those whose outings of Derby day cal
iber are limited. will rub elbows with
those whose life. at least from outward
appearances, is one grand. sweet song.
They will meet on the green lawns of
the infield in the surging, pushing mass
where the money changes hands, and
where the fiction of no betting. may be
enacted.
MOharibs good races. leaving out the
Clark stakes yesterday, entities him to
consideration, and the class Of English
Lad Is known. Prince Silverwings has
run poorly since he was second in the
Chicago Derby. and the same applies
to the rest. Flower King Is still a
puzzle, as apparently no real attempt
has been made to win with him.
Good Jockeys Scarce
When 1t comes to pick out the jock
eys owners have had as much trouble
as In deciding on the starters. Good
Jockeys are scarce in the west. 1t is
hard to get an eastern boy to come
out just for one race, as the eastern
owners have use for the boys in the
east on the day the Derby is run.
It seems reasonable that Jockey
Dominick will have the mount on Eng
fish Lad in the Derby. Dominick was
set down at Louisville for sixty days
by Judge Price. Mr.. Price will Irob-
ably relent and reinstate Dominick be-
fore the race. Dominick when in con-
dition Is one of the best riders i'm the
country. Horsemen generally would re-
greet seeing a mediocre boy up on Eng
fish Lad, and have urged Mr.. Price to
give the boy a chance.
Hildehrand may ride Highball, ac-
cording to reports from the east. This
may or may not prove a winning COM
bination. Hildebrand is a good jockey
for light weight, but many would like
to see stronger and more experienced
boy in the saddle. Fuller would fill the
bill. and he may yet have the mount.
Mr.. Schorr has been hunting for a
boy to ride Moharib. He has tried to
get Tommy Burns. but is not positive
about him yet. Should no eastern bow
be secured Aubuchon will undoubtedly
be given the mount.
As'ssssn May Come
The owners Of Prince Silverwings
have also cast about for a Jockey. They
have tried to get an eastern rider, but
so far without success. II Proceeds is
started Helgesen will come west to ride
him. 1t Is possibility that Helgesen
will come west In either case. Con-
jurer Ia not expected to come. and IL
the track should prove fast on Derby
day and Helgesen Is here ne may have
some other mount. possibly Middleton
n Jungbluth's maiden. Jason. pullman
Is expected to have mount, which
may be Boots & Hollenbeck's Argre-
shire. The boy has been conditionally
engaged by the firm. Prior will ride
Eilwood II he starts. Henry is sure to
have the mount on Burleigh, and ].
Hicks will probably ride Lonsdale.
8. c. Hildreth's Burleigh has been
announced az a sure starter by his
owner. He has shown a liking for any
kind Of track. Is big and powerful, and.
although he has not yet gone any long
distance. should be classed as formid-
able.
Rome" Respass paid a big price for
Copperfield last fall and has pointed
him for the event. Jockey Knight and
Copperfield should be a good combina-
ton. Elwood. Boots" Durnelrs Ken
lucky and Latonia Derby winner. can
go the distance. OF that there is no
doubt. He also likes mud and can not
be considered a factor on fast track.
Jason. Middleton & Jungbluth's
maiden colt. has been announced as
pretty certain to carry the colors which
The Picket wore last year. Jason, it is
claimed. has been saved for the partic-
'iariy happy event at Washington
Park. and, as he is still maiden, he
will carry the same weight as did The
Picket.
Lonsdale, belonging to Clay Broth
ers. has considerable pretension to ella a.

rrsvslyan Likes Moharib
Francis Trevalyan. presiding officer
It the Hawthorne race track and ac-
as one Of the best judges Of
lorses in the country, thinks pretty
we'll Of John Schorr's Moharib. He has
cen the colt in all his races.

Aoharib seems to have the election.
The big son Of Esther has been a much
discussed colt since the beginning Of

AVE been set him comes a growing
wonder that John. W. Schorr. tH9 Mem |
