GOOD RACING IN PROSPECT MATERIAL AVAILABLE AT LOUISVILLE ASSURES SPORT OF HIGH CALIBER. Secretary Jasper Announces Weights for the St. Leger Handicap, to Be Run on Opening Day Herkimer Installed in Post of Honor. Louisville, Ky., September 20. While the Kentucky Endurance Stakes, at four miles, to be decided October 7 at Churchill Downs, stands forth iis the star feature of the eighteen-days fall meeting, there are other great races of more than average interest. The overnight races will bo specially notable for the high-elass horses contesting in the top price selling races. Al Muller, High Private. Adams Express, Prince Sal. Stare. Rogon, Sticker, Sir Cleges, Colonel Ashmeade, Righteasy, Pajaroita, Belle Clem si ml Angelas are sure to go in a number of these races. There are many of the same class yet to come from Lexington, Canada and elsewhere, but these are mentioned liecause they are already quartered at the Downs. Al Muller has been working unusually well and he nets as if he ean stay as well as sprint. Age apparently has improved this son of Sorcerer. His legs look unusually sound. High Private looks as lit as hands can make him. He has all his speed. There is not a horse named above that is not 1 mining well, so it is a certainty that some of the sidling races will be highly attractive. Pardner. a two-year-old that Lou Johnson lought from S. C. Hildreth, impresses the work-watchers as a youngster of more than average class. He seem-inglv is able to run in any sort of going and. while lit; has brilliant speed, he acts as if he is a stayer. As the 0,000 Worth came on the track at the Downs Monday, the railbirds, witli one voice, shouted: "There come a horse." While trainer Frank Taylor had the colt on the track. Worth was the center of all eves. He appears stouter than he-did last spring. Worth is a poor work horse and to get his best effort it is necessary that he be carried along by some fast performer. Trainer Taylor, however, works him alone, as ho does not care to make a practice of working an older horse with him and he docs not want Worth to "kill off" his tis other two-year-olds. Worths Saratoga rest had and good effect upon liitu. His owner, H. C. Hallen-beck, thinks Worth will win the Kentucky Derby next spring. Edward Jasper, acting racing secretary of the Louisville Racing Association, today announced the weights for the St. Legcr Handicap, at one. mile and one-sixteenth, to be run next Monday, the open ing day of the eighteen-days meeting.

Peter Wimmer will not move his horses from Douglas Park during the timing meeting here, but he changed his stable today at the latter place, moving into tiie barn vacated by C. C. Van Meter, who went to the Downs several days ago. Among the earlv arrivals for the coming meeting is C. R. Ellison, who won the Kentucky Derby in mo.-! with Judge Hinies. Frank Smith arrived from St. Louis with three Miwo-year-olds. which he quartered at Douglas Park. WThey are all maidens and were bred by Barney w Schreiber, two of the lot being by Sain. Stalls are bedded down for the reception of the horses trained by Henry McDaniel, which are expected to arrive at Churchill Downs within the next twentv-four hours. .Mr. McDaniel will leave Lexington before the meeting ends there. The best in his stable are Polls, King Broomstick, Embracer and the crack California two-year-old, Anion. .TocUev Herman Kaiser, a Louisville hoy, is now with R. F. Carmans stable, he having left his former employer, Thomas Hatfield, in Canada the past summer. On account of threatening lung trouble Kaiser fears he cannot make the trip with Mr. Carman to England, and he will probably seek a position with some stable going to Mexico to race, as he believes the climate tiiere will be beneficial to him. j
