Run off at Churchill
Downs May 3

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 1S.-With
the racing game fallen upon evil days
in other states and thousands of
blooded horses become virtually wan
derers from the big courses where they
were wont to display their speed, the
thirty-fifth Kentucky derby to be run
at Churchill Downs May has regained
much of it's old-time prominence.
The following eleven horses are re-
garded as almost certain starters:

Wintergreen has thus far ruled favor
ite in the betting, of which there has
been considerable. The arrival of Friend
Harry from the Pacific coast, where he
has shown remarkable private trials, is
expected to place him equal faVorite
with Wintergreen, however.
All the candidates regarded as GER
tain starters have been well played TO
date, all have shown first class form
and good training weather has ripened
them early.
Campeon is regarded as the dark
horse, while Miami, on the strength of
his spring work, may carry as much
money as either Wintergreen or Friend
Harry.
probably will be installed favorite.
The value of the stake will be about
$1,000. Stall room for 1000 horses already
has been engaged and about 800 more
are expected.

with the exotic painter, Gustave Moreau,
In his adherence Of the mob. He was one
poet who wrote perfect prose, not prose-
poetry. Enamored OF the antique Of
the Orient, OF mystical subjects, he spent
lifetime in the elaboration Of his be-
loved themes. That he was obsessed by
them is merely to say that he was the
possessor Of extraordinary mental energy
and overwhelming artistic gifts. He
was not happy. He never brought his
interior and exterior lives into complete
harmony An unparalleled observer, an
imaginative genius, he was a child
outside the realm Of art. Soft Of heart,
he raised his niece as daughter; loving
son, he would console himself after his
mothers death by looking at the dresses
she once wore. Flaubert a sentimental
list! He outlived his family and his friends
save few death was never far away from
his thoughts; he would weep over his
souvenirs. At Crosset ] have talked
with the faithful Colange, whose card
reads; az. Colange, ex-cook Of Gustave
Flaubert." The affection OF the novel;
ist for cats and dogs, he told me, was
marked. The study pavilion Is to-day
Flaubert memorial. The parent house
Is gone and in 1901 there was a distillery
on the grounds, which is now printing
establishment Flaubert cherished the
notion that Pascal once had stopped in
the old Croisset homestead; that Able
Provost had written -Manon Lescaut"
within its walls He had many such
old fashioned and darling tics, and he is
! to be envied them.
