Y., , May 13. — Cain Hoy Stables Kentucky Der-!, ■ by winner, Dark Star, appeared on the ; main track at Belmont Park this morning j with jockey Henry Moreno in the saddle ; and proceeded to show that he retains his speed by stepping a mile in 1:42% with the ; boy literally throwing him down all the ; way. Dark Stars fractions were :262/5, :50y5, 1:15% and seven furlongs in 1:29. . _ The handsome son of Royal Gem II. is leaving for Maryland in a day or so to 3 compete in the Preakness Prep and Preak- ness Stakes at Pimlico, having a return en-; gagement with Native Dancer in the latter r classic. The surprise workout this morning was s the five furlongs in 1:00%. turned in by f Mrs. John Payson Adams Heraclito. The 5 gray Argentine five-year-old has finished i absolutely last in his four starts in this country, three at Santa Anita and one i 3 r s f at Jamaica, but has extensive stakes engagements at this meeting and looked like a runner this morning. Mrs. Adams won the Santa Anita Handicap and other major stakes with another gray South Amer- ican in the person of Miche.
