Fred Hoopers slight bay son of Sir Gallahad III. dazzled railbirds by turning a mile in 1:SSH and going on out nine furlongs in 1:5135. With jockey Charley Stevenson in the saddle and breaking at the eighth pole, the Wood winner whirled along a first half in :4745. shaded a minute for five furlongs and reached the six furlongs in 1:1235. The move was accomplished with Stevenson taking so many wraps it appeared he wore a muff, and three trainers flagging him down. This was easily the most impressive Derby trial of the season here at the Downs, bettering Bymeabonds mile in l:383/5 both from a time standpoint and the facility with which it was accomplished.

Asked for speed the last part of it, he finished out a mile in 1:431s and nine furlongs in 1:56. Smith expressed himself as well pleased with the work.

Basham on Tiger Rebel. Eastern Colt Likely Favorite The Derby this year is confined to mid-westerners, so far as actual attendance and mutuel play are concerned, but indications are that they will make an eastern colt the favorite. Hoop Jr.s stock skyrocketed as word of his extraordinary trial spread through Derbytown. The probability that he will have jockey Eddie Arcaro at the reins is no detriment to his chances of giving Alabamas Fred Hooper, a virtual new-comer to the owners ranks, a victory that j t**~ consistently eluded many veteran turfmen. - ..e connections of nearly all of the probables frankly regard this ensuing edi- ! tion of the 5,000 added Downs classic "a wide open race."
