to the already intense interest in the Derby as Kentucky turfmen think there is no question but that he will meet a foeman worthy of his steel when he clashes with C F Biischeineyers great gelding Hawthorn which in spite of tiie presti e Ten Point has gained by his recent victories at Havre de I race is still the favorite for the big race raceOn On account of the state of the going at the Louisville tracks today there was little fast work possible but all the horses were thoroughly exer ¬ cised At the Downs the dogs were still up during most of the day Superintendent Keegau is reconstructing all his harrows and lloats and be ¬ ginning tomorrow will go to work in earnest to make the course at the Downs as perfect as possible The heavy rains of the last twentyfour hours were just what the course needed and in the opinion of horsemen after Kcegan completes his work on the course it will not only be in a recordbreaking condition but unusually safe to race over overAbout About the best work of the day at either course was by trainer OConnells twoyearold Requiem which worked throeeighths in o7 and ran as if she fancied the soft going This filly is a daughter of Tony Faust and looks like a twoyearold that will prove a handy racing tool toolJames James MacMainus stopped over today on his way to Lexington from French Lick Springs where he has spent most of his time since the close of the Juarez meeting Most of the MacManus horses are Still at Churchill Downs and he went over to Lex ¬ ington more for the purpose of seeing two of his horses which had ibeeu turned

for the New York turfman Musgrave will have the mount on Frederick L in the Kentucky Derby and will pilot Mr Ilaillenbecks other horses in their engagements on the Louisville and Latonia tracks this season seasonLew Lew Marion on account of the heavy going gave Prince Hermis and Sam liirsch slow gallops over the paths at the Downs These two Kentucky Derby candidates could hardly look better and Prince Hermis is lining down to a colt of superior con ¬ formation He may lack the early speed of some of the other probable starters in the big race but he works like a colt that will stay the distance and run the last quarter about as good as he does any other part Marion has a high opinion of Prinw Hermis 1 C Bright tlie owner of Brightstone which is in the stable of trainer Jack Baker at Lexington today inspected the large string at the Downs in trainer James Kveruians care Bright has in mijid the early purchase of some colt or lllly as a com ¬ panion in training to his threeyearold

race she ran at New Orleans when a fiveyearold in February 1007 She was one of the most remark ¬ able race mares of recent years inasmuch as in her early days she drew a milk wagon about the streets of Louisville One of her most remarkable perform ances was in tin Thornton Stakes in California when she was beaten a nose by Los Angelcno at four miles in the mud in 727 As a result of the closeness of the race a renewal of it was arranged for u few weeks later and again the two finished noses apart just as they had in the original running of the stake Her owner has hopes of some dav seeing this
