NEW YORK, \. G.-Americans
owning candidates for the English
+ Derby of 1915, which the stewards of
EPSON track have decided, with the
approval of King George. to run in
spite of the Ear. are August Belmont,
Louis Winans, Charles Carroll, Tho
mas F. Ryan, Harry Payne Whitney
and Herman B. Duryea
In the stable of Mr.. Winans there
is a full brother to Sir Martin. the
American bred colt, which might have
won the DG-by in 1909, the one that
fell to the late King Edwards Minorn,
il he (Sir Martini had not fallen at
Tattenham corner when he seemed to
have a first rate chance of getting
home in front. This colt is called Sir
Rupert Apparently his chance of sue
cess is not great, for he started II
times last season without winning,
Vanite is Formidable.
Winans' most formidable candidate
perhaps is Vanite, a son of Ogden and
Veil, she being a full sister of Mas
kettle, which John f. Madden bred
and sold to him last year. Vanite won
the Harvey 2-year-old plate, distance
five furlongs, at Alexandria Park, last
September, but was unsuccessful in
four other starts. The other Winans
candidate, half brother of King
James, by Ogden. is not considered.
5eInont's Horse is Danger Rock.
August Belmont's one candidate is
Danger Rock, full brother of Defen-,
dunn. Danger Rock is a bay son of
Rock Sand and Delusion. He won no
race of Importance, but finished sec
ond to Mai. Hall Walkers Let Fly in
the Exeter plate at Newmarket last
July, and is believed by his trainer,
J. Watson, to have improved over win
ter Let Fly, which afterward won
the Dewhurst plate. seven furlong
race which none but good colts ever
win, is considered the most formid-.
able of the English candidates after
King Georges Friar Marcus, winner
of the Middle Park plate. another ju..
venile special that takes 2-year-old
OF the first class to win. -
Whitney Has Six EIisibIes. e ... Il
Harry Whitney has six eligfbles, but
the only ones A. J. Joyner has any
notion of starting are Jurdey, an Eng
lish bred son of Fowling Piece and
Lady Hamburg, and old Broom, son
of Broomstick anu :iose of Dawn
These colts did nothing on which they
might be backed to win such race
as the Derby. Purdey started three
times without winning, and Old Broom
vas unsuccessful in two starts.
The candidates of the Duryea sta
BILE are Chickamauga, a son of Rabe-
lais (sire of Durbar II, last years
Derby WINERY, and Mediant, daugh-
ter of Meddler and Ballantrae, and
winner of the Great Eastern handicap
at Sheepshead Bay in 1908; Mainstay,
q son of Irish Lad and Saltwater, and
Musketeer, son of Irish Lad and
Urania. None of these colts started
last season. Mr.. Duryea raced in
France to the end of July, and under
the rules governing French racing 2.

brother of Durbar H. Moreover, his
sire, Irish Lad, %one of the greatest
racers of his time on this side of the
Atlantic, but with which the American
breeders refused to mate their mares,
on the theory that he was short bred,
got Shannon, winner of the Prix du
Conseil Municipal, a handicap at IL
miles for 3-year-olds and over, at
Paris. in 1912, and was considered one
of the greatest horses of his year in
France.
None of Ryan's horses in France,
his Derby eligibles being sons of Sea
King and Monsieur de rOrme, which
raced unsuccessfully in this country
last season. Carrolrs candidates are
Chatterer II and Marigold VII, both
by Meddler, the former from White
Ear and the latter from Flocarline
They are both American bred on the
sides of their dams and were foaled
in France They each started last
season in Great Britain without win.
