Forty-four final acceptors were announced today, including three American-owned colts, Mrs. John Bryces North Carolina, William Woodwards Turco, arid Ralph Strassburgers Le Tyrol. The latter trained inFrance for the race. Although some of these may not start, there is every possibility that there will be more runners than the record set in 1862 when Caractaous beat 33 opponents. The total worth of the Derby is 4,190, of which 4,561 goes to the winning owner. Mrs. Bryce watched her colt, North Carolina, work out with his stablemate, Turco, at Newmarket Heath this morning. North Carolina was slightly more impressive than Turco, who was equipped with blinkers for the first time. News that Frances leading owner, Marcel Boussac, was going to rely on Nyangal solely, caused the odds on him to drop to 20 to 1 from 66 to 1. The final acceptors, all of whom will carry 126 pounds, are: Anamnestes, Neron Arcot North Carolina Ardenthope Nourreddin Articprinc Nyangal Barnaredmedy Paradise Street Bokara Partdukyon Brumf ield Prince Douilly Calre Hill Quick Return Claudius Rain Check Colon Sash Cord Crocodile Selector Expeditious , Signal Box Fast Anchor Stokes Faux Pas Straight Quill Fraise duBois Sun Compass Kiming Sybils Nephew King Cardinal Titian Le Tyrol Turco Levent Turks Reliance Malekzadeh Wateringbury Malkas Boy " Woodcote Inn Medway Zucchero Mystery
