New York, June 24-Specal from the Hearst News Service.) )-Orbys English derby still hangs fire, the latest item of interest in the aftermath of the mo- mentous American triumph being the marked disnclinatlon on the part of the British turf authorities to encourage further entries from the United States to the famous turf classic of Epson. W. H. Vosburg, the official handlcapper of tn Jockey club, is the accredited agent of the English Jockey club in soliciting entries and recording nominations to the derby. For the last ten years Vosburg has been urged to stimulate interest among American breeders and owners in the fixture and to secure as many first class entries as possible. Annually the first week of the Coney Island Jock ey's midsummer meeting saw Vosburg hustling among the breeders, like Au- gust Belmont, Harry Payne Whitney, James R. Keene. John E. Madden, Clar- ence Mackey, R. T. Wilson, Jr., Milton Young, ct al. seeking the nomination of some likely wo-year-olds.
 Since Richard Crokers humiliation of the arrogant English turf stewards, a sudden apathy on the part of the Brit ishers in respect to American representa- tion in the 1908 derby has occurred. Vos- burg may have been tipped to withhold a canvass for entries. At least he will not make. any, according to good author ity, a circumstance which is common gossip at the clubhouse and a source of amending merriment to New Workers who moved to laugh at the lawfully bad losing grace of the Englshmen Though Orby was entered through the Royal Irish Turf union, Crokers victory is charged to America. Though August Belmont had a formidable candidate in Lord Hastings, in the 1905 derby, who was withdrawn at the eleventh hour the last serious effort on the part of Van kee to take the Blue Ribband" was In 1902, when the late w. c.

 The spirit which prompted Deerfoot the rurner; "Dan" 0Leary, the walker Howell, the amatelr sculler; John C., heenan and Jack OBrien, the prize flghters May Sutton and Jay Gould, the tennis players, and our yachtsmen to lower the British coors on English soil to beard the lion in his den, will cause a big entry to tn, English Derby of 19tj. whether Lord Durham or other Jockey club influences desire it or other wise. "The only way they can stop us will be to refuse our entries, as they did in the case iof Constance Titus. our champion scullqr, to the Diamond sculls some three weeks ago." explains a prom inent New Jetsey breeder Last year there were eleven entries to the English derjy from this country, and from what one hears just low there will be at least eighteen Tn corAectlon With the race or 1908.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Manager Frank gave the league fair warning. and if he is violating either the salary or player limits. or both, It Is because he is tired of living up to the laws while the other managers violated them right and left.
 When he said the limit was a joke he was no doubt planning to carry the Joke just a little further and put the laugh on the customers They laid down the gaunt- let and the Pelican manager has taken 1t up.
 In paying an unprecedented price for Lave Cross he has made the first move in putting a winning team in New Or leans at any price.
 Observance of league laws is second ary consideration right now, and it Wall be interesting to see how the eastern managers are going to get out of the trap which they set for themselves.-Ne Orleans Item.
