May 1. — It looks as if the only late day representative in the Preakuess from this section will |„. Recount, from the stable of Andrew Miller. Arrangements have lieeu made with the Adams Express Company to have a car ready for Recount to lie loaded for Pimlieo next Friday and, while it is possible the Schwartz Brothers may send Enfilade along with Mr. Millers candidate, it is by no means certain. The probable incentive for Mr. Miller paying the expense of a car to send one or perhaps two horses to Pinilico, is the fact that L-iuius. Luciillite.
