ST. LOUIS ENTRIES. The entries to the St. Louis Stakes which closed January 14, flatteringly attest the popularity of the track and its management with western owners. In aggregate they exceed those of last year although the Derby of 1900 shows the same falling off, as compared with this years Derby, that was noticeable in the cases of the Latonia and Memphis Derbys. On the whole, however, the entries all around are eminently satisfactory and St. Louisans are bound to witness fine racing during the progress of the meeting of 1899. The comparative entries of 1899 and 1898 make this showing: 1899 1898 Inaugural handicap, 1 mile, 3-year-olds and upward 49 42 Debutante, 4 1-2 furlongs, 2-year-olds.. 76 83 Kindergarten, 5-8 mile, 2-year-old colts and geldings 88 94 Junior Championship, 5 1-2 furlongs, 2- year-olds 73 80 Memorial handicap, 5 1-2 furlongs, all aces 83 68 Club Members Handicap, 1 1-4 miles, 3- year-olds and upward 43 40 Brewers handicap. 3-4 mile, 2-year-olds 87 83 Mississippi Valley soiling, 1 mile, 3- year-olds and upward 81 77 Meramec, 1 mile, 3-year-olds and upward 83 66 .Laurel handicap, 3-4 mile, 3-year-olds and upward 67 63 Missouri selling, 3-4 mile, 2-year-olds 76 94 Independence handicap, 1 3-16 miles. 3-year-olds and upward 52 48 Mound City sellinn, 1 1-8 miles, 3- year-olds and upward 63 63 Golden Rod, 7-8 mile, 3-year-olds 72 59 Ozark handicap, 3-4 mile, 3-year-old colts and geldings 69 79 Chrysanthemum handicap, 1 mile, 2- year-olds 55 67 Autumn Selling Stake, 6 1-2 furlongs, all ages 59 St. Louis Derby, 1900, 1 1-2 miles, 3- year-olds 121 149 Isabella, 5 1-2 furlongs, 2-year-old Allies t 80 Total entries 1.300 1,267 Now. fAbandoned.
