1" ■ + FORMER WINNERS OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY _ — . When the big Louisville race set for tomorrow passes into turf history forty Lentucky Derhys will Iuim-lien run. Never until this year made of value commensurate v.ith its importance in public estimation, it baa yet in some of its years been contested hy horses of high class, famous in Aiiuiiian i.niug annals. It K U II alliaaahll whether in all those y.-ais a Ki titu -ky Derliy field of equal all-around excellence to that of its lust year has ever gathered at its starting point. In that race fifteen three-year olds started, of which .Mistides, Volcano. Ten Broeck, Bob WooUey, tiili Brace, Searcher, Ascension, Chesapeake and Verdigris were afterwards of great renown and all of such quality and sieod as to constitute a hand reaaarhable in aay year. Possibly oaae as good as an Old Boaebad or Hodge might have woa that race and just as possibly liny would have lieen unplaced as was the mighty Ten Broach. Probably Hindoo was the greatest race h rse ever started in this event, hut such others as Foiiso. Leoiiatus. Joe Cot ton. Ben Ali. Spokane, Riley. Kiagaaaa, Balnea, Bea Breath, Plaudit, Lieutenant Glhsoa, Allan a Dale and sir lluon were all horses of great excellence ami aaperh speed. Stayers ami great winners. Of more recent winners Meridian and Doners II are li.iili still in training and were record breakers for the race in their respective years. To all appear .■lines some three year olds of except toaali high class are to go to the jK st this year and. if the track is I isl. it may lie that another case of record hn-aking is at hand, the record of the raee i- as fo.low : V«ar.
