Kiaek foney was breezed, but Bradley choice and Bringhurst, and most oi the other Derby candidates, are awaiting a good track to-morrow to be given stiff trials. Indolence, which finished second to Ivan Gardner in the Palmetto Derby, was sent through the inu.il for a mile gallop, but there was nothing especially noticeable in his performance. Old Rosebud arrived here shortly after noon to-day. The sturdy thoroughbred shipped in fine style and was as playful as a kitten when taken off.

Jockey McCabe. who will ride Old Rosebud in his races here as well as in the Kentucky Derby, also came over this morning. The crack race horse is quartered in a nice high barn and conditions to preserve his health could not be better.

Trainer Weir is highly enthusiastic over his charge's chance to win the Kentucky Derby, and said that thus far he lias done everything that has been asked of him. He is of the opinion that what racing he does here will prove a big help to putting on the finishing touches tor his big race, and it is more than probable that he will start in two races at the local track.

His work yesterday was better than the performances of many others entered in the race which are rated better than Mr. Gerst's representative. If he continues to train as good as he has so far done all spring Brickley is a sure starter in the coming classic.

In New York, has all the ear marks of a coming great Jockey, as he bas an excellent seat on a horse, is unusually strong and possesses a very clever pair ot bands. He can ride as light a3 ninety-five mounds and will be given an opportunity this spring on -the locai tracks to ride often in the Schorr colors.

The contract now held bv Arnold Company runs until July the Latonia meeting winds up and end" tlie spring and summer racing season in this State. Mott is a most valuable addition to any stable, as he can ride as light as eighty-seven pounds, and his apprenticeship does not expire until August 15.

The jockey is expected to ar- rive in Kentucky from Vancouver the present week and Arnold Company" -have consented to allowing him to ride some during the Lexington meeting, though Everman has concluded to ship no horses there this spring to ijce.

CHAT, OF THE COURSE THE fastest mile by a Derby candidate wes that of Brickley, 1:41 3-S, at Douglas Park yesterday afternoon. The Gerst eligible worked cleverly and pulled up in good shape. At Churchill Downs yesterday a number of the locally-trained candidates worked Impressively. Ralph was only galloped slow a mile and -a half and will probably be worked out fast anyway for a short distance to-day. The others worked as follows: Watermelon Mile In 1:42 4-5.

Fractional: :34 1-5, :36 2-5, :49 3-5. 1:02 4-5, 1U5 2-5, 1:29. She pulled up a mile and an eighth in 1:58 2-5. She did her work cleverly and was seemingly little distressed after the performance. Bronzewing Six furlongs In 1:15, slowed down.

Fractionals: :25 4-5, :36 4-5, :49, 1:01 '3-5. Robinetta Six furlongs in 1:17. Fractionals: :33, :25, :37, :50, Hodge Half in :52 4-5. Fractionals: :33, :25 3-5, :38 4-5. His performance was an opening up for a fast trial to-day.

The fastest work of any of the other horses at the Downs yesterday was done by Casey Jones, he reeling off six furlongs in 1:15 3-5, running the first three furlongs in :33 4-5 and the half in 3-5. The "Kentucky Oaks candidate, Isabella Valle, ran a mile cleverly in 1:45 A feature of Monday afternoon's racing at Churchill Downs, following the opening on Derby Saturday, May 9, will be a card of seven races. This is made possible by the fund coming from run-up money in the treasury of the Xew Louisville Jockey Club which had to be carried over on the books from last fall owing to a boost occurring on the closing day of the meeting at this course.

All of the Derby candidates are now being pushed along rapidly in their training for the coming great event, which will have a value far in excess of any Derby race ever run off in this State. Old Kosebud Is now at Lexington to be-ffin his 3-year-old turf career in actual races, but the local courses house some of the greatest Derby cracks, as -Hodge, uelioc and Kalpu are at Churchill Downs and at Douglas Park, Bricklev, one of the very best maiden eh'glbles, is daily taking nis training, 'rue latter has an admiring following, who are always looking for a dump to turn up in a Derby raee as he is in the stable of William Clcrs't. the Nashville turfman, who won tiie Derby with Donau he season in which "Waldo was even a greater favorite in the future books than Old Rosebud is at the present time, all the more attention Is drawn to him.
