Ky., April 24— Busy scenes were to be viewed at Churchill Downs this saorning under excellent weather and track conditions. A number of fairly fast moves were noted, the best being that of Chat-Carton and Janku, which ran three-quarters of a mile together in 1:14 M in easy fashion. They covered the quarter in M%, the three-eighths in 065, the half mile in 48 V5 and five-eighths in 1:00%. The Douglas Park course was deep in test and slow time was in order there. Less than the usual number of horses were out for exercise at that track. The exodus of thoroughbreds from here to Lexington began this morning. Trainer L. Caha took five, Dick Vestal sent Centimeter. Gentility and Glenlivet, the latter a two-year-old; while George V. Barnes sent United Verde and Iictor. Glenlivet is a son of MceUck — Dona Hamilton and is considered the best of the G. L. Blackford two-year-olds. Robert H. Shannon will ship Deadlock, his Kentucky Derby hope, to Lexington tomorrow night. The horse will have an entire car to himself. A division of the James B. Smith establishment, in charge of trainer T.

Mooney arrived from Maryland with Dark Horse, Chinnie Walsh and Dissolute, owned by E. E. Mooar. He was assigned quarters at Douglas Park. Gangway, a member of the F. J.
