April 2o.— With all the acknowledged st::rs of last years two-yoar-old division eligible to start, with a score of second and third raters, any one of which may improve into a racer of high-class, also qualified to start, and others of unknown quality, both home and foreign-bred, the Preakness Stakes, to lie decided at Iimlico May 1" , bids fair to attract the greatest field of three-year-olds that ever met on that famous course.

High Cost, Matinee Idol. Enfilade. Drastic. Recount, Johren. Kungold. Flags. Orestes. Zululand. Ceorge Starr. Cobalt Lass and J. K. L. Boss well-bred English representatives. It augurs well for the Preakness that the star-among its eligibles are the farthest advanced of all tin- candidates and the Maryland Jockey Club man-igement is fairly confident of getting most of them to the ]K st. Escoba and Sun Briar, which are training for the Kentucky Derby at I ouisville. will, their owners have wired, come east for the Preakness after running in the Derby if it lie possible to obtain transportation. War Cloud, which is training at Belmont Park for the great Kentucky race, will do likewise, according to Walter B. Jennings, Mr. Macoinhers trainer. Jack HlM Jr.. which wintered at Cravesend track, has just won the Wilmington Stakes at Havre de trace. Itosie OGrady. which may go west for tlie Kentucky Derby lieforc she conies this way for the Ireakncss. has had a thorough preparation at Brook -dale farm, under the discriminating eye of James Kowe. Lucullite. the juvenile sensation of the early meetings of 1117. i* training famously at Belmont Park. Iiuius. son of Llangibby. raced with distinction in Maryland last fall, lie fell lame, from some, mysterious cause, early in November and was unable to meet War Cloud in the Walden Stakes at Fimlico. but he is galloping soundly at Belmont Iark under the direction of A. J. Joyuer, and the shrewd trainers at the Westchest-r Associations track have already declared him to be the most formidable of the foreign-bred eligibles for the Preakness. FAFF A SURE STARTER. The Futurity winner. Papp. after Sun Briar, the biggest money winning two-year-old of 1917, wintered satisfactorily at Belmont Park, but he came down to Iimlico ten days back and is getting his Preakness preparation on the track on which the big race will be run. It is a bit early to venture a prediction as to the number of starters the Preakness will attract, but it is fairly certain that from twelve to fifteen colts and fillies will put their noses to the barrier and it is a mighty good l»et that a crowd the like of which Iimlico has never been called upon to entertain in the past will gather from all parts of the country on May 13 to see them run. The conditions and eligibles to the Preakness are as follows: PREAKNESS STAKES — For three-year-olds.
