June 21.— Charley Xolte. the new superintendent of the track at Latoiiia. is exerting himself to have the course in the best possible condition for the running of the Derby.

General Manager Hachmeister announced that in view of the severe strain which will lie put upon the facilities for handling tlie big crowd expected at the track on Saturday, no complimentary tickets will lx issued for that day. The admission charges will lie .20 for gentlemen, including war tax, and .65 for ladies, including war tax. The list of prospective Derby starters has been reduced by one. H.
