They will campaign a string of nine horses; It will be recalled that the Eeichert brothers had the good horse My Dandy here several years ago. Lady Higloss. which carried top weight in the Worchcster Handicap at Pawtucket on Friday, will head the stable of H. L. Campbell, who will campaign twelve head hero this winter.

Grill, J. E. Hill, Glenn Smith, E. Haber and others. John H. Davis writes from Narragansett that his stable will ship here on November 21 and that several other leading stables from that point will head for the Crescent City about that time. Harry Saladin, who has campaigned a string here each winter, will return with twelve head, among which he indicates he has another Derby prospect. John J. Jewell, who formerly came here in j the winter, but has passed up racing in the last few years, has made application to come here this meeting. Starter Johnny Morrissey was the first of the officials to put in his appearance, arriving from Lexington. Morrissey said his wife will come later by train and he will put in a little advance time in fishing. He said he read so much about the tarpon and red fish catches down here he could not resist the temptation to come early. Sammy Hicks, cx-jockey who is training for D. J. Sullivan III., San Antonio banker, may bring the fast-stepping filly Trina here. He is also handling a good handicap horse, Dreel, which he claimed from A. G. Vander-bilt in the East.
