HORSES AT LITTLK ROCK. As the beginning of the Little Rock, Ark., meeting is near at hand the following from tho Arkansas Gazette, concerning the horses now at the track, is of interest : "H. S. Tobacco is ready to race any day. He looks as good as he ever was in his life. All agree that there are some good two-year-olds here, and some of them are looked upon as having class of a high order. J. B. Gray has one. She is Macis Marie, a chestnut filly by King Regent Era. Some of the trainers believe her to be the fastest thing on the track. She is a good-looking filly. With weight up she worked three-quarters in :37i in the best of style. She is in the Pine Bluff Stakes and is well engaged up the lino, and has Derby and Oaks engagements to fill next season, "McGuigans two-year-olds continue to do well. His .Pursebearer filly is going along might fast. Schreibers bunch is not attracting quite as much attention as they did soma time ago. They are are all doing well enough, though. Tayon, a Lissak colt, is going along at at a lively clip and Boundlee. the son of Boundless, is also doing well. Both will do to watch when the races begin. Mannion and Connor have a very fair-looking bunch of two-year-olds, but they are not nearly so far advanced in their training as some of the others here. "Branch Martins youngsters are all going along nicely, and if they do not get some of the money at the Little Rock meeting it will bo a surprise to those who are watching them. They are certainly a good looking lot of colts, and they are doing their work well. Mr. Martin has adopted the colors of the Little Rock carnival as his racing colors, and when Joe P. Quinn, Gus Blass, Judge Mills and Martin Boy make their appearance in public they will carry a boy clad in red, green and gold with a red cap, "Mabel W., a throe-year-old and an Arkansas Derby candidate, has worked six furlongs in 1 :20 and will try for the stake. All the other Derby condidates are going along nicely."
