Secretary Dillon is satisfied thai, eaoagh horses will be left ill the race to assure a field of not less than a dozen. Among those that are looked upon as sure slarlers ale Ovelando. Mori iliov, Car gantua. Fantastic, Zal. Bedgaaatlet, Still Alarm, link Slar. either The Abbot or Fleming from Will Xounus barn. Old Honesty and Wool Sandais. Doubtful quantities are Harold |i. Prince Ahmed. Areite. Boxara, Hawkaaaa, Battlea, Prince f i aah fai I and Mike Sutton. The only one of the camliilales that is at Latonia at present is Slill Alarm. The Kespess colt has developed inlo a tine Ittoking three year old ami has bt en doing well in his work ami is expelled lo In- a feetor in the race. Anile is a iloiiblful Quantity, tnless Ceorge J. Long, bis owner, changes his mind Arcile will atari in the Brookr/a Handicap, which will be run next Monday at I Ira v a—end. Mr. Long will send ten horns lo Latonia in care of Sain Rothert, but il is abaaal a certainly thai Anile will not be among ihe number. Willi Areite oat the race looks very open, and right here il may bt- said Ihat John Wallers, train er for George Hendrie, may have another likely colt in Cold Fin. by Cold Spinner. Wallers keeps things prclty well locked up. and he may hob up on .1 n no lo with a Derby winner. At present it hn.ks as if the Derby will tie a g.Mid race and lhal a real contest will be seen when the half score or more colls go to the post on Dei 1 1 day. the Queen Citv Handicap will be run twelve davs after the Derby. Sir Huon. which won this stake last year, was given the top impost by the handi-cappi r. llT pounds, hut he has been displaced by Clorilier. which has accumulated a seven | id pea ally, and will have to carry Llo pounds if James H. MeCormick ships him west. Sir Huon is also down a- a non starter, for Ceorge J. Long is alter nigger game with the gigantic son of Falsetto. The Suburban Handicap is what he is being pointed for, and if looks count for anything. Sir Huon will be there at the finish. The Minks also picks up a penalty and will carry 11- pounds, anil Pink Star added seveu pounds by his win of the Kentucky Derby and he carries KM pounds. There are still over fifty eligibbs for this slake and its a bit loo oarly to gel. a line on some of them. It. is understood, though no official announcement has been made, that there will lie no pane of le-s than $"iiNi during the Latonia meeting.
