OWNERSHIP OF THIBODAUX Thibodaux, the winner of the Latonia Derby, is a chestnut colt, by Cunard. dam Electro, by Electioneer, and runs in the name of W. Perkins and Company. The real owner of Thibodaux is Alfred Vogeler, Cincinnati wholesale druggist, who bought the colt in the spring from W. L. Lewis, paying 0,-000 for him, with an additional ?5,000 if Thibodaux won the Latonia Derby. So Will Lewis is enriced by ,000. This is not the first horse that Vogeler has owned. He has been interested in horses for more than twenty years, being a partner of the late Jake and John Marklein when they ran horses in their cwn names. Vogeler is of a retiring disposition and has never been in the limelight in his turf operations. He purchased the c;lt in the spring, engaged Perkins to train him and gave Perkins a contingent interest in the horse for his efforts. When Thibodaux ran a good second to Whiskaway last Saturday in the Kentucky Special, several efforts were made to purchase the colt, but Vogeler turned a deaf ear to all of them. Kay Speneo asked Perkins to put a price on the colt and Perkins sought out Mr. Vogeler. Vogeler told him that the colt was not for sale and that he hoped that Spence would not offer him 0,000 for the colt. That is where the 0,000 BfTer story came from.
