Relieves Race VIII Mean Record

Matt j. wlnn, who visited Laurel, Nd,
this week to attend the annual meeting
of the directors and stockholders Of the
Maryland Fair Association, before return

the greatest race in the Derby, Saturday
that has ever been run at the Churchil
Downs course.
ut will be the greatest Derby ever
held, and one of the best three-year-oio
races in the history of the turf said
Mr.. winn.
There is certainly plenty of crcumstan'
tiaI evidence to corroborate Mr.. Winn's
testimony glance through the eligibility
list for the Derby discloses such sterling
three year-olds as II. p. Whitney's Re-
gret, the unbeaten filly; Schuyler l.. Par
sons Sharpshooter and Phosphor, both OF
whom may 20 TO the post in the classic;
John f. Maddens Charter Maid, the
Quincy stables Futurity winner; Trojan,

bles, Last Coin and Kilkenny Boy, the
first two of which are looked upon as
likely favorites for the race; w. r. Goes
Hauberk and Captain Il. b. Cassatts
Garbage.
H. c. Hallenbeck's recent purchases,
The Finn and Iron Duke, are also eligi-
bile for the Derby, but as both are now
nuartered at Belmont Park there is no
likelihood of either facing the starter at
Louisville Saturday. 1t would be diff
cult to uncover a higher class field of
three-year-olds than those named how
ever and, with weather conditions favor

realized.
