[ I ls c i r r j , 1 l J ] 1 l j ! | | ; , LEITER SALE NOON FRIDAY I Property of Late Chicago Sports- man to Be Disposed of by Auction Day Before Derby. ————— I NEW YORK, N. Y., May 4.— The sale of the horses in training, the property of the late Joseph Leiter, in the paddocks at Churchill Downs, at noon Fri ay, will be an interesting preliminary to the racing, whose patronage will be augmented by the advance guard of the throng that will witness the running of the Kentucky Derby Saturday. Breeders and fanciers of blood stock from all over the Union and the Dominion of Canada are expected to be in attendance. The sale, which will be under the direction of C. J. FitzGerald, with George A. Bain as auctioneer, will be held in the paddock through the courtesy of the Churchill Downs management. Joseph Leiter was fond of all his horses, but his particular favorite was the filly Princess Camelia, winner of many hard fought races as a two-year-old and today, in the pink of condition for her engagements of the current season. The fact that Princess Camelia is eligible for the Arlington Park Classic, Arlington Oaks, Washington Park American Derb;% Illinois Oaks, Preak-ness, Alabama, Wilson and Test Stakes, and the Saranac Handicap, is evidence of the high regard in which she was held by her late owner. A neatly turned dark gray, with an abundance of substance and as game as a trout, she fills the eye of the blood stock connoisseur in every respect. Carrying the blood of Roi Herode, Sun Briar and Broomstick, she should be a great asset to any breeding stud after she is through racing. Another of the same type that will be sold in the same ring is the stake winner Princess Ivre, an eligible for the Kentucky and Illinois Oaks, and the Alabama Stakes. She is of the same determined type of race mare as her stable companion and it would be a pity to separate them. Several of the other three-year-olds that will be offered have won good races and can win otbors. The two-year-olds have not been hurried by trainer Beal, who has only started a few of them to date. One of them, Prince Westend, was a good winner on Monday last and there are several others ready to duplicate his feat. The sale will begin i promptly at twelve oclock. *. — .
