Many Admirers in California — How This Promising Colt Was Acquired. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. April It.— Gorge Marshall, joint owner with his brother, L. F. Marshall, of the Kentucky Derby candidate Prince K., will leave here April 25 for New York. He plans to witness the opening days sport at Jamaica, in accordance with his custom of many years. George Marshall prefers the New York sport to that of any other section of the country, but he finds time now then to take a trip to Kentucky or Maryland when something special is on. The metropolitan ereuit can hardly hold him on the day of the running of the Derby with his own horse among the probable starters, so will leave the metropolis a few days pri r to May 19 to be present on Derby day Churchill Downs. "Brother Louis" writes that Frinee K. is going in fine style at I-ouisville and there will be a lot of "pulling" here for the gelding the day the big race is run. The Marshall brothers had Hector and other fleet ones local courses in the "old days." The fortunes of Prince K., Marie Miller, Courtship and others that have been wearing their colors in recent years have been watched closely by racing enthusiasts of the San Francisco Bay region. George Marshall believes the clement of luck enters a good deal into the running of important events and of course is hoping the •breaks." as the baseball men call them, will come his way in the Derby. Prince K. was turned over to Marshall in manner similar to that in which William Daniel acquired Blanc Seing. The son of Mont dOr II. and Louvois is not altogether sound and Tom Welsh, trainer of the J. E. WMener stalle. had so many other prom-1 ising yearlings two years ago he did not care about keeping him. "You take him along, George," Welsh said Marshall, "and if he ever does anything, 00 will be the purchase price." Prince K. was a good winner as a two-, yetr-old, winning tan races. He started early and kept up his good licks all year, with the exception of a period of two or three months when his dicky underpinning prevented him from going to the races. The workouts of the three-year-old are attracting the widest attention out this way and many a wager is being put down on the sterling bays chances in the "Darby."
