MIDWAY WINNING MANY ADMIRERS. Louisville, Ky.. April 12. — Trainer W. J. Young is wearing a complacent smile these fine spring days and it is mainly due to the splendid manner in which his colts. Midway and Trevisco, are taking their Derby training. Both colts have got to that stage where they can be sent a mile and they already have traversed this distance in creditable time. Midway is winning friends every day by his work, while Trevisco, the only Irish -bred colt in the list of eligibles, is not without admirers. Those who have seen Midway in his work hang to the belief that he will he a stayer. They also point to his record as a two-year-old, and his last public appearance last fall, in a race at the Downs, when lie carried 124 pounds, and won at a mile in 1:40. Any two year -old that can do this in the fall is bound to improve in his three -year-old form, the colts admirers declare. The fact that he was slow to show his best form last year and that he did not find his speed until the fall, when he won four consecutive races, is another augury iu Midways favor.
