sters, tenderfeet tourists with sure

pers-an are here, rubbing elbows
again in the city of vapors, as in the
good old time before Governor JEFF
Davis cIamped down the lid and end
tered half the dead game sports of the
country out of a home. Whatever ac-
ton the sapient Solo1s at Little Rock
may take in regard to an anti-racing
law, Hot Springs is in for another
taste of the high life, possibly the last
that this once most cosmopolitan of
resorts will ever know. While tie so
day racing meet of the Oaklawn Jock
ey Club may possibly be curtailed, it
will begin this afternoon according to
schedule, and there is every prospect
that Hot Springs will have the great
est meeting in it's history. Despite
the fact that many new stalls have
been built, the Oaklawn stables are
filled with horses. The entries include
the pick Of the ponies from Memphis,
New Orleans, Louisville, Nashville,

youngsters; Cots Bros. who also
have a magnificent showing of baby
racers; P. T. Chinn, who has been
wiltering at Little Rock, his string III
cluding the famous Pretension, and
Barney Schrieber, the Missouri breed
er, whose color will be carried by sew
eral fine youngsters, as well as The
older horses owned by him.
S. J. Charles, Samuel Beckham, 7.
G. Scott are represented by two car
loads of fine animals shipped here
from New Orleans.
Numerous consignments of horses
are here from he training quarters

Louis Celia has sent a fine string
here in charge of Henry Mcdonald, III
Guiding Conville, the winner of a mum

ity. The action of Conville on the
track here will decide what horse
shall represent the Celia stable in the
Crescent City Derby, the choice now
lying between Conville and Marathon.
F. A. Forsythe's Montgomery, another
candidate for the $4,000 Derby hon

Valley of Vapors as a health resort,
are now in h city and there is every
prospect that the big stand will be
well filled with enthusiastic spectators
every day during the meeting. The
sport is also highly popular among
a majority of the permanent residents
of the city and the citizens and bust

condemned the proposed action of the
