JUVENILES IN LIMELIGHT . « Kentucky Derby Eligibles Inactive at Lexington Course. » Camdens Two-Year-Old Band Impresses Spectators — Light Ilrigari-. — Sard Colt Works Well. LEXINGTON. Ky., April 4— With Kentucky Derby hopefuls enjoying an off day, the training spotlight swung to two-year-olds at the local Kentucky Association track this morning. The juveniles really held unbroken sway throughout the day, as schooling was conducted during the afternoon and only a few older horses engaged in the latter against about four score of youngsters. But for a high wind training conditions could not have been improved upon. There was a pronounced threat of rain in the clouds that flitted overhead during the morning and while it failed to materialize, the darkened heaven caused several trainers to hasten the drilling of their charges with the result that the morning witnessed extensive activity. Despite the concerted drilling of two-year-olds that accompanied the afternoon schooling, the youngsters flocked to the track during the morning and no small number were set down for ambitious work. Judging from their moves, many of them are well advanced and there will be an abundance of available material when the season rolls around. One of the most impressive sets of youngsters seen in preparation during the morning was that embracing five owned by former Senator Johnson N. Camden. Trainer Danny Stewart set them down for gallops over three-eights each. Working alone. Sauceuet, a chestnut son of Craigangower — Satin and half brother to Oh Susanna, outsped his stable-mates by going the distance in :36 ; Stelvia, a chestnut son of Craigangower— Spicey Belle, did it in :;;6%, while Harvard, a chestnut colt by North Star III. — Enigma, went in •.36*4, and the chestnut son of Craigangower — Pretty, called Andover, was timed in :361s. The chestnut colt by Light Brigade — Sard, which has been named Lindy, had an easy time doing three-eighths in :381s. The latter colt is not as far advanced as the former four, but trainer Stewart holds him in high esteem and is confident that he will make his presence felt when he gets to the races late in May or early in June. None of the youngsters were asked for anything like their best and Stewart was kept busy signalling most of their handlers to reduce their speed.

Sunny Heaven and Peter Dixon, in the stable handled by G. Moshier. went together while negotiating throe-eighths in :36. Ven-eita M. and Ham, which J. Goode campaigned at New Orleans, were out to work in :38 and :37%. respectively, over three-eighths.

Huffs Reveries Gal, another of the Oaks prospects here, was sent five-eighths in 1 :05°.-. by trainer R. C. Frakes. She ran under strong restraint throughout and well satisfied Frakes that she is now ready for more exacting training. Frakes sent N. H. Johnsons Elizabeth, another Oaks entry, three-quarters in 1 :18%. Prince Bulbo, the Derby candidate owned by C. N. Jones, was another to drill at a slow pace over one mile. He was timed in 1 :47%. The good mare Flattery, which is expected to carry the Camden colors in the Camden Handicap, the opening feature here, furthered her training for that one and one-sixteenth mile race by breezing three-quarters in 1 :18. Lord Marmion, the maiden three-year-old owned by Mrs. J. E. Berkley, exhibited a fine turn of speed in doing five-eighths in 1 :01%. to carry off honors for the fastest trial of the morning at that distance.
