TAUBER MUCH ENCOURAGED « Irish Pal Runs Three -Quarters in Impressive Fashion. • Son of Prince Pal Canters Distance In 1:17 — Churchill Downs Track Greatly Improved as Result of Harrowing. LOUISVILLE. Ky.. April 19.— C. E. Dur-nells well formed Derby candidate, Irish Pal, was sent three-quarters at Churchill Downs this morning, and the easy manner in which the son of Prince Pal performed his task gave his admirers cause for encouragement. The colt began at the five-eighths post and, under restraint all the way and running along at an even pace, went the distance in 1 :17 ; as a matter of fact he was cantering all the way and could easily have shaded this mark by three or four seconds. Trainer Louis Tauber is much encouraged over the steady advance being made by Irish Pal in his Derby preparation, and will have a good report to make to owner Durnell upon the latters arrival here with the large band of the Three Ds Stable of W. T. Waggoner tomorrow. The Churchill Downs track this morning showed much improvement as a result of the harrowing that it has been subjected to during the past few days by superintendent Tom Young and his assistants. With a couple of days more work on the track the course ought to be in the best possible condition for the training gallops. For the first time since his training for the Derby started, Harned Brothers Dixie Prince was sent over the increased distance of a mile, and the showing of the son of Prince Pal proved to be satisfactory to both trainer J. Reed and Mark and Asa Harned. who were spectators to their colts latest gallop. Xothing sensational was asked of the colt, for he went the mile in 1 :47ys, runring the first quarter in :25%, half in :50y5, and three-quarters in 1 :18%. It was evident to all who watched Dixie Continued on eighth page. TAUBER MUCH ENCOURAGED Continued from firi-t p:f/0 Prince thai be is not what is termed a "work" horse for. during the gallop, he showed a disposition to hang back. It will be necessary to give him a pacemaker in order to get him to put forth his best efforts. Longri.lgc and Bar None, Derby aspirants in the Longndge Stable barn, supplied the fastest moves over a short distance during the mornins. The pair, under the direction of W. G. Tanks, went out together and ran five-eighths lapped on each other all the way. It , was a really high class move for both colts, for they displayed abundant speed all tbe way. The question is, however, can they maintain that speed over the Derby route. The iratches caught the colts in the following fractions: £4%, ttSb, 1:02. The Park View Stables r erby Hope Keith went out with Rbinock, a stablemate, and galloped three-eighths in :37VS. This was an "opener" for a stiff work the colt will be given Friday. Tiger Flowers, Chicago-owned Derby colt, supplied the best Derby move at Douglas Park. He worked th-ee-quarters in 1 :19=i and cantered out the mile in 1 :30. D. F. Kell-y, one of the J. J. Coughlin candidates, went a half in :54. He will be given an ambitious trial Friday, when his owner will be here. John K. Madden came over from Hamburg Place this morning to issue final instructions for the shipment of his large band of two-year-olds to Belmont Park. The stable will be shipped in two consignments, the first comprising twenty head, being scheduled to depart in charge of trainer "Chuck" Walker Friday morning. The remainder will go along the following day in charge of assistant trainer Jimmie Collins. Jockey Jimmie Collins, who will ride for Mr Madden this year, will accompany the second shipment. Mr. Madden is well pleased with the advanced training of his young horses and predicts that they will make good before tbe metropolitan season has advanced far. Kay Spence, trainer of the Audley Farm Stable, left today for Cropsey, 111., to attend the funeral of his brother-in-law. Jockey W. Crump, the Audley Farm Stables chief rider, will go to Lexington to ride. Jake Lowenstein has sent F. M. Grab-ners five-year-old Spanish Lay to Piatts Farm, near Lexington, to be turned out.
