ridden by H Shillick and had up his Derby impost Beginning from the Derby start he traversed the first quarter in 24 the half mile in 493 the threequarters in 1 15 and the mile in 1 42 At no time was the Preakness winner asked for his best speed and he was eased the final quarter to conclude his trial in 2 09 09WHISKERY WHISKERY TINDER RESTRAINT RESTRAINTWhiskery Whiskery was also kept under

particularly fast in the early stages as follows 24 4S 115 142 He displayed little fatigue after the trial and it is more than likely that Trainer J Schorr will decide to send him to the post postThe The above quintet of Derby eligibles were the only easterners that indulged in exercise during the morning The western represent ¬ atives to work included J N Camdens Hydromel There was much interest in his appearance There has been a strong doubt jf he will be among the probable ones at the barrier on account of the recent attack of fever he suffered sufferedMax Max Hirsch trainer of the Sage

the mile in 142 His starting in the Derby will be determined by what effects he shows from his trial this morning Another that may be among the starters is J C Milams Mr Kirkwood He was worked a mile in 1 42M 42MThe The failure of jockey Kummer to ride Whiskery in the Derby has caused trainer Kowe to seek a substitute for him and he will probably secure the services of Laverne Fator to ride If
