The distance of the race is one mile and three-sixteenths and it will be a veritable contest of giants from the East and West. Good judges pronounce the field that has been named to participate in tomorrows famous race to be the finest from the standpoint of uniform quality in the history of Kentucky turf events and a wonderful contest is anticipated. The race will fully measure up to the ideal which general manager Matt J. Winn of the Kentucky Jockey Club had in mind when he instituted this important fixture. In establishing the race Colonel Winn was looking forward to the day when the Kentucky Special would outshine all other American races for the older division and challenge the attention of the whole racing world. If the day be fine, which seems assured, the biggest .crowd in the history of Latonia racing will witness the decision of the race, for nobody can recall when there was so much interest in the outcome of a fixture at the local track as has been manifested in the big event scheduled for Saturday afternoon. Persons of prominence in the eastern business and racing world have been attracted here in great numbers and their presence will augment the attendance from Cincinnati and the neighboring cities to no inconsiderable extent. So much spesd is represented in the race that it is freely predicted that the winner will excel Best Pals track record of 1 :5G 1-5 for the mile and three-sixteenths. And it would not be surprising were the race to be run in one or even two seconds b3tter than the existing mark. FIELD FOR KENTUCKY SPECIAL. P.P. Horse. Wt. Owner. Rider.

Out of the twenty-two entries, the easterners are represented by eight or nine splendid aspirants. These are Mrs. Payne Whitneys Untidy and Cherry Pie ; A. C. Bostwicks Shuffle Along and Spot Cash ; II. F. Sinclairs Knobbie ; H. M. Howards Frigate ; W. J. Salmon3 Vigil ; Frederick Johnsons Dream Maker and Mrs. L. "Viaus Audacious. This aggregation of speed and stamina gives the easterners a strong hand. The westerners will also have worthy representation in such stars as In Memoriam, Actuary, Whiskaway, Chacolet, Hopeless, Lady Madcap, Best Pal, Indian Trail and others of lesser note. Audacious, regarded as one of the most 1 formidable contenders, despite his top impost of 125 pounds, will probably be out of the big race. This morning after he had been worked a slow three-quarters he got the better of his rider and ran away three miles and a half. While the horse was not injured, it is probable that his running such a long distance at top speed might unfit him for the kind of a contest he would have to put up In a race like the Kentucky Special. It la worthy of note that there are no fewer than thirteen thrcc-ycar-oldn among the twenty-two named In the Special. And out of the total number of entries there are but five fillies or mares. Of the cistern representatives Cherry Tic. Untidy and Knobble are the most fancied on the evo of the race, while Whiskaway, In Memoriam, Actuary, Ilopelcaii and Chacolet are regarded as bent of the wealern contingent. Candidates for the Bpeclnl were given limit final trlalH for the big race thin morning, but nothing of a en.itlonal order wan attempted. From all Indication! a field of Hovontcon or eighteen Mtara will go to the harrier, which would give the nlako a groiw value of a little over ?fiO,000, of which the wlnnern not par-1 lion vlll be m,?.M. In addition to llrnl money the winner vIIl receive a gold cup do-i nated by the Kentucky Jockey Club.
