RACERS NOW GO
To LEXINGTON
Kentucky Futurity With Peter
Thompson and Other Fast Young
sters Entered l. the Big Event.

The attention OF horse lovers is to
be centered during the next few weeks
at Lexington ana Columbus, wnere
three weeks OF sport will close up the
season for the big tracks. The Grand
Circuit Is over, but IL Is expected that
the meetings In the southern cities
will be equal TO those of the big cir
cult as nearly all the horses that have
been on the circuit tracks, are en-
tered In the coming events.
There Is especial interest In the
Kentucky futurity which will be raced
week from Tuesday. Peter Thomp-
son, that broke the worlds trotting
record for three-year-old geldings
here; Mainleaf. that defeated Miss
Stokes at Indianapolis, and that was
the favorite here before Thompson
beat him; Atlantic Express, that made
Peter Thompson hustle here; possibly
Justice Brooke. that was kept out here
because he was not in condition. are
all entered and there should be some
good racing In the youngster division.
Another event that will be watched
with interest at Lexington, Is the
Transylyania stakes. While for only
SIS, 900, and r. T. c., Mnrphy's plow-
horse, frightening away some OF the
Ia eligibles, there Is still enough
chance for the initiated horse to be
beaten so that seven or eight Will
start. and Murphy has made Charley
Mitchell an eligible. SO that he can
start him II r.. T. G. Is not MT.

count of the street car strike on Meu-
nesday, and q bad rain on Inursuay'
