GOSSIP OF THE TUBS. Speaking of the coming Little Bock meeting Captain C. A. Tille3 says: "We have more horses at Clinton Park than ever before in the history of the track. Every stall is engaged. We expect seven car loads of horses from Memphis. Billy Bruen of St. Louis has been engaged to handle the starting gate, while Colonel S. M. Apperson of Little Bock will officiate as presiding judge at our meeting. The Arkansas Derby will be run the first day of the meeting. Some of the fastest three-year-olds on the western circuit are in this stake, and the prospects are bright for a cracking good race. Our two-year-old ovents all filled well and the chances are that some of the juvenile stars of the season will make their debut at Clinton Park at the coming meeting. Colonel Apperson writes that the citizens of Little Bock are greatly interested in the meeting, and are working hard for its success. With bad weather we did very well last year. Mr. W. C.
