DETROIT DERBY TO BE RUN NEXT SATURDAY r H0LLYR00D ARRIVES Headley Star Among Expected Contestants in Detroit 5,000 Race. "Iron Horse" Rushaway in Fine Fettle to Continue on His Triumphant Way. DETROIT, Mich., June 8. The 5,000 added Detroit Derby, to be renewed here for the second time next Saturday, took on added interest this morning with the arrival of Hal Price Headleys Hollyrood from New York. Word was also received from that sector that four or more eligibles would arrive here Thursday morning. Several brilliant trials of probable Derby starters were reported from there. Shortly before the arrival of Hollyrood, which finished third to Granville and Mr. Bones in the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, Clarence E. Lehr, president of the Detroit Racing Association, called judge Joseph A. Murphy and said that Max Hirsch was sending Split Second here and that Bright Plumage would be the hope of C. V. Whitney. Bob Smith, trainer of Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloanes Brookmeade Stable, announced that one of its three eligibles would be here and James Fitzsimmons, trainer of the Belair Stud and Wheatley Stable, had promised to send one or two eligibles. President Lehr left New York for home this morning and the arrangements for the shipments will be made by J. J. Brady. According to present plans they will leave New York Wednesday. The management hopes that trainer Smith will decide on Corundum. The son of Teddy was a close fourth to Hollyrood in the Belmont classic and his presence will further insure a sparkling race. Trainer Fitzsimmons would not state whether Granville would be his choice, but in Teufcl he has another star. MUCH INTEREST AROUSED. Not since the inaugural running of the mile and three-sixteenths journey when Cavalcade beat Plight, New Deal and others, has the race attracted so much interest. In order to care for the invading Derby eligibles, president Lehr ordered the construction of a new barn before he departed for New York and with carpenters working day and night, it was nearly completed this morning. James Frost, Michigans one-man lacing commission, announced this morning that all eastern trainers sending candidates here would be presented with a Michigan trainers license. Split Second will be the only filly in the field. The daughter of Sortie finished second in the Coaching Club American Oaks and was one of the best of her sex last year. She races under the King Ranch colors of R. J. Klegberg. Although no word has been received recently from William Hurley, trainer of the western division of the E. R. Bradley stable, he stated ten days ago that he probably would bring an eligible here. Bow and Arrow is now at Chicago. Demonstrating that he should be given consideration for local Derby honors, Dnie- A per, Mrs. P. A. B. Wideners chestnut son of Kiev, turned in a brilliant workout Sunday V morning. Going around the "dogs" Dnieper 5 went a handy mile in 1:41. DNIEPER WORKS WELL. Although a light shower fell early Sunday morning it failed to have any effect on the track but as the weather was very cloudy the "dogs" were left up. Beginning his task from the stand, Dnieper went the quarter in :21, the half mile in :49 and the three-quarters in 1:1475. Trainer Danny Stewart, who came from Chicago, was very much impressed with the trial. Dnieper finished second to Rushaway in the Illinois Derby but was disqualified for a foul. Tugboat Frank, one of the "dark" horses, also was seen in a useful trial Sunday. The son of Bostonian went a handy three-quarters in 1:15. He was timed the quarter in :25 and the half mile in :49. Rushaway. which was crowned the "iron horse after his victories in the Illinois and Latonia Derbys, in consecutive days, breezed a half mile in :48v5 this morning. Owner Continued on thirty-ninth paae. DETROIT DERBY TO BE RUN NEXT SATURDAY Continued from first page. and trainer A. G. Tarn made the journey from Rockingham Park to witness the trial and he plans on remaining until after the running of Saturdays fixture. Jack Webber, trainer of J. Shirley Rileys Jimmie Cabaniss, announced this morning that barring mishaps, the son of Ormont would fill his engagement Jimmie Cabaniss was graduated from the maiden ranks here but he followed that triumph up with another brilliant victory and appears to be one of the most improving horses here. Although owner and trainer "Eutsey" Hernandez had about decided not to start Flag Cadet, the son of American Flag turned in a splendid effort in defeating Sir Jim James Saturday and now is again among the probable field. In the event Granville or He Did do fill their engagements, top weight to be carried will be 123 pounds. That will be Rush-aways assignment and the other starters will receive liberal allowances from him. The liberal distribution of the purse, which includes five monies, has been an incentive for attracting a large field and present indications point to a dozen being under colors.
