i BUFFALO STAKES FILL WELL. Buffalo. N. Y.. May 0.— The stake events for the summer meeting of the Buffalo Racing ananrJa-tion at Kenilworth Park. June 1"» to July 20. have tilled beyond the expectations of Joseph A. Murphy, who is the active manager of the plant this year and who will l e in the stand as presiding jadgK. "We are going to have an excellent average antra in the sixteen stake events," said Mr. Murphy today, "and what pleases me most of all is that the best stables in this country and Canada are lepra sented this season. Stake entries made at this season of the year are especially encouraging when they come in any numbers, as they have done with us. You see. it is but a month from racing time, and the prospect is that owners and trainers have well tried out the material in their stables ami thus, about tilty per cent, of the horses nominated for the Butlalo events can be counted on to make their appearance at the post. The Buffalo Derby promises lo find a big field of starters, as the entries bid fair to gn aver thirty and all well tried three-year-old colts, fillies and geldings. The Canadian contingent will be especially strong, as the Seagram. Dyiuent and Mao kt-nzie stables, the principal racing establishments anoss the border line, will all be represented. Mr. Seagram has made a liberal entry for the Butlalo events from which he was absent last season. It is probable that he will send more than one to the post for the Butlalo Derby, including his cra-k Assemblyman, with which he expects to take down the Kings Plate. The Dynieut stable has a good one in Temmeraire. with another string to its bow and the Mackenzies have that good one, Tourenne. to hear from. The owner of Belmere. last years winner, Fred Burlew, will make another try for the Buffalo prize, and he will also send a stable to be raced through the meeting. Buffalo has some representatives in d*e Derby, and Teuiaeco, winner of the California Derby, is iu the local affair, and other of the cracks of the age which have been and are now raeing through the southwest, will he found nominated when the entries are made public.
