DAVIS EXPECTS FIFTEEN STARTERS. Cincinnati, O., July 2. After making inquiries this morning of the ovners of candidates for the Decoration Handicap, which is to lie the feature of Thursdays card at Latonia, Racing, Secretary Lyman Davis said: "I think we will have about fifteen starters in the Decoration Handicap. J. C. Milam was highly pleased witli Couvolos race, and McIIvain ran a good race under bad handling. Mcll-vain is a good horse when ready. Beau Brumntel also ran a good race Monday after getting away poorly. I dont think any one would want a better field than Envoy, Lexoline, Still Alarm, Tlie Minks, Phil Finch, Pasadena, Convolo, Plantland, Beau Brummel, McIIvain, Mike Sutton, Harry Scott, Old Honesty and Princess Orna. If all these would start it will be a highly interesting contest." The distance is one mile and a sixteenth and Pasadena has the top impost of 114 pounds.
