Quatre Bras II., Money Getter, and others. Nominations for the ,000 added Three Ds Handicap which will be decided at one mile and a sixteenth as the feature of Saturdays program closes Tuesday. The seven Texas Derby eligibles which met at one mile and a sixteenth for the Cotton Exchange Purse Saturday came out of their engagements in good style. Phil ; Reuter who trains and owns with Elwood : Sachsenmaier, Roman Soldier, was highly pleased with that colts sparkling winning . effort. "I told Balaski," said Reuter, "to ; keep the colt on the outside of his field and not to make a move with him until reaching the final three-eighths. It is mighty easy to get a horse cut down and I would rather 1 the horse would have lost the race than to : have anything happen to him." "He is a great colt and I believe he will win both ; the Texas and Kentucky Derbies." i McCarthy, Morrison and Keatings Louisiana Derby winner gave further proof that his New Orleans victory was not a fluke. He i ran a corking race to force the pace throughout and hold on in fine style. The chief disappointment of the race was i Hasty Glance. She quit badly after three-quarters and from all indications, the Haste filly does not fancy a route of ground. The Derby eligibles will have another opportunity of matching strides next Saturday in a Derby preparation race and in all probability the Milky Way Farms Whiskolo will be under colors, trainer Robert McGarvey is particularly high on the son of Diavolo and does not hesitate to say he believes the colt will win both the Texas and Kentucky Derbys.

Mrs. Floyd West purchased the contract Z. McGregor held on apprentice Elmer De-perini. The lad, who won his first race at Alamo Downs, is a native of San Francisco and a brother to Ralph Deperini, who rode for Ben Jones and John Partridge. Trav Daniel, resident manager of Arlington Downs, announced this morning that due to all the boxes being sold for Derby Day, he is setting aside 1,500 grandstand seats, the sale of which began today.
