siid Goldhlatt this morning He acts like a fair irse There is a vast difference in what he will iic t in the Kentucky Derby if it should be de flilid that he is to start in that contest in com ¬ parison with what he defeated at New Orleans so I am not building any castles in the air about Damask and the Kentucky Derby If he should train tip to that race in tiptop order and some of the elect of the eligibles should train off or go wrong then I might feel like I had better than an outside chance Yet I am frank to say I already have taken a llyer on him for that race Hefore leaving Now Orleans I bet Frank Shannon 100 iiiiwt r iOOllint he would win aud 110 against 8100 that he would be placed That wager of itirse is play or pay payDnmask Dnmask is in the Hen All Handicap which is to be run here April Hfl He also is in the Hlue Crass Stakes to be run May 1 and the Camden Ilandi cip to be run May the last date being three days in advance of the Derby The Hlue Grass Stakes is for
