Ky., April 4.— Intermittent showers, that fell Friday morning, served to slow down training operations at both local tracks and as a result no really ambitious moves were recorded. The weather, however, did not interfere with the schedule of the Kentucky Derby candidates training, as the more prominent ones had been put through their paces Thursday, which was their regular work day. These colts Friday were given light work only, consisting of slow gallops or long walks around the course. Quivero and Frankman were the only ones to be asked to do anything out of the ordinary. The former, which will be the Jefferson Livingston standard bearer in the Derby, was let down for a stiff gallop at three-quarters which he went har.dily in 1:17*5. This colt, during the absence of trainer Al Kirby in Hot Springs, Ark., is being cared for by Frank Stevens, and under his supervision the son of Boyal II. and Lillian Shaw has improved wonderfully since his arrival from Xew Orleans. Quivero in several of h.s races has shown a distinct liking for a heavy track and is regarded as a certain starter in the Derby if the track is muddy on the afternoon of the great contest. Frankman, one of the Audley Farm Stables eligible* for the Kentucky Derby is also showing improvement since he started in the Douisiana Derby at Xew Orleans. This son of Superman and Franks Daughter is also partial to the mud, and can also run on a dry track. Today he displayed good form and showed his advanced training when he worked three-quarters in 1 :17%. Hobby Gay-lor, who is attending to the colts training, declared that he could easily have gone the distance in better than 1:14. ■H ORKENTRl.K STABI.K Clyde Phillips, who recently arrived at Churchill Downs from Xew Orleans with twelve horses belonging to the Greentree Stable has notified track superintendent Tom Young that he will require eight more salls for the division of the stable that wintered in Xew York and which is due to arrive here shortly.

Mr. Payor Phelps, young sportsman of Bouisville, who maintains a breeding establishment near Shelby ville, Ky., where he is going in for breeding on quite a large scale, has at Churchill Downs, in charge of Walter Hopkins, two of the finest looking two-year-olds at that track, both of which are the product of his farm.
