VoDhorpe. D. Mescl.eiidoifs g.w.d l.M.king two year old iu W. S. Hopkins stable, pleases many of the critics at Churchill Downs, n is not what he has done but what he links able to do that catches his admirers. He is a half brother to The Picket, the brilliant horse that Carroll B. ltcid trained for Karl .lumrliliith. and with which he won bath the American Derby and Brookl.Mi llandican. Heid thought The Picket should have won the Nuburbati Handicap when Horinis ran his sparkling race in that great event. The other day at Churchill Downs ho said that Heratia had all the luck in the Suburban, while The Picket was interfered with several times during the running of the race. "I think yvith everything even that day Kinley Mack yvould not stand out as the only winner of both the Suburban and Brooklyn Handicaps — The Picket would have tied him for such an honor." said he. Volthorpe will be seen under colors in the Bashford Manor Stakes. While J. B. Kesposs. who won the Kentucky Derby last year with Wintorgreon. has no entry iu the big race this season, he has a good looking filly in Imprudent, which has qualified for the Kentucky Oaks. She is a daughter of Dick Welles and Lunette. A friend of apt. J. Brcekenridgc Viley of Btone-wall Farm, who was at Churchill Downs yesterday, says that Captain Vileys Kentucky Derby candidate. Mellfourne. is training superbly this spring. He sayv him work five furlongs in 1:02* recently. The Mel Ionian gilding is Im ing trained by Holla Drake, a trotting bar at reiasaaaa who is making his debut as a thorougiMired trainer this season.
