May Take Both Big Races.

It would not be surprising to see both
the Kentucky Derby nd the Preakness
two of the richest three-year-old stakes
not only of the spring, but of the whole
year, taken by imported horses.
The Preakness promises to be the
most important spring test that has
been offered three-year-olds In the his
tory of the Maryland Jockey Club. This
old stake has always brought together
a representative field. but this year 1t
has attracted almost all of the three
year-olds of quality in the 144 names
that have been obtained. And it Is sur
prising how many good ones will battle
for the three-year-old prizes this year
taking line through their accomplish
ments last year. The new ones from the
other side, that have not been started
will have to prove themselves, but each
one is fashionably bred and the re-
ports from the various training quar-
tiers all through the early spring have
been most encouraging.

demonstrated that the English and
French horses take some time to be-
come thoroughly acclimated and accus-

ural to expect that the imported two
year-olds of 1917 will be better three

lard-Fulton fight, conferred with Gov.
Burnquist today. Shortly after noon
Miller announced that he would leave
for tho east tonight It was under
stood that local negotiations were at a
standsti1l.
Col. Miller said tho location OF the
fight might not be decided for.two Or
three weeks.
He told Gov. Burquist that the oon-
test might draw $4,000. This, he
pointed out. would yield $4,000 to the
state and that the government would
collect $4,000 in war taxes from
ticket buyers.
The probability that the champion
ship fight would be held in tho Twin
cities on July 4. is regarded as having
dwindled to possibility. More OBJ
stacles were met by Promoter Miller.
Although Miller announced that hs
would mark time until Tuesday. when
the Minnesota safety commission would
formally consider the advisabiiity OF
permitting the contest. it became
known that Miller again is considering
