New Orleans, Feb. til Interest In the
running of the Crescent City Derby,
which will be decided March 14. the laat
day of tha meeting, which begina to
morrow, and which had been lagging
because 6f the acknowledged Superiority
of Burlew & O'Neill's Clmpultepee, re-,
celved an impetus a few days ago when
ositive announcement waa made that
. C. Hlldreth would, aend both his colt.
Uncle, and MeeiicK, from is Angnies,
on to so in both the New Orleans
events, shipment being made right after
the running of the colt in the California
ueroy.
This Information came In the form
of a letter from John Lowe, who is
training Hlldreth's Oakland string, to a
horseman at Mempnis, ana 11 lmmeai
ately set the hure,ieuuIo here to specu
latin on the Drobable outcome of I
meeting between these two undoubtdly
high class three-year-olds. Lowe sent
along some information that somewhat
dampened enthusiasm in me uuriow
& oiseui camp.
Mr. Lowe stated that Uncle's work
for the California Derby was a mile
better than 1:3! over the Santa Anita
track with weight up. Meelick, which
will probably -be -used to race Chapul
tepec Into the ground, or at least to
attempt to do so, has been running
races over the six furlong route along
around the 1:12 mark, so that it is
with reason that adherents of Chapul
tepec are beginning to weaken in their
enthusiasm.
Hlldreth is -a past master in the art
of flttln?g noraes for big races, so that
if Uncle arrives on tha ground sound
and safe, the best western Derby race
seen in years will result in the meeting 1
or these two coits.
In the new enthusiasm Pinkola has
been all ' but forgotten. And yet the
Fixer colt Is not to be altogether de
spised. . He is outclassed, it is true, but
is a superlative mua runner, ana
Uld the track be heavy on Derby day
will have more than an outside
nee to beat one or other of the two
cracks and possibly both of them. With
Uncle and Chapultepec both in the
field it Is certain to be a small one,
as owners of other second rate candi
dates will riot care to give up $100,
the starting fee, for the pleasure of
seeing their colors carried In a Derby.
Tonng-sters Ordinary &ot.
With the exception of the Cella col
lection of two-year-olds, the young
sters shown here this winter ara. a
very ordinary lot. Cella has undoubt
edly the best bunch of youngsters that
ever before raced In the southern coun
try, several of which are certain to be
returned winners at the early eastern
spring meetings. The pick of the lot
so far shown are the filly. Fore, and
the colts, Sea swell and Marse Abe.
1 In an additional lot that arrived here
recently, however, are two that It is
claimed can beat any that have yet
started. Marse Abe. both on his record
and in the opinion of good Judges of
horse flesh. Is not only the best two-year-old
shown here this winter, outside
of the Cella stable, but also probably
the best of the entire cella lot. lie
has taken up weight and repeatedly
beaten everything here outside of this
Stable mate. Bea swell.
The stable believes Sea Swell the bet
ter colt Many of the horsemen, how-
aver, hold to a different view, Marse
Abe has constantly Improved. He ran
green In his first two starts, got away
poorly and had to be ridden out, but
all his other victories have been
achieved easily. He won his first three
starts in succession, in his next out
he was pulled to let Sea Swell win the
premier stakes. He would have been
sent for tbe money In this event? which
he could have won but for the fact that
the Cellas were afraid of Burlew
ONlelra Brougham, which was tin
placed In the race.
He wort three subsequent starts in
one-two-three order, beating big fields
of all the best ones easily. Marse Abe
Is a medium sized chestnut colt. He has
not the substance to be a really first-
class stake performer, according to
eastern standards, but that he Is a
youngster of much more than ordinary
merit cannot be doubted.
. ... ... i(K iiiv.ii, h nan
believed, would be a fizzle, has proven
to be so successful that winter racing
will beeom an established Institution
at that point, and very prooably a
much mora pretentious meet will be at
tempted next winter. The present sea
son local horsemen feared to risk doubt-
ful chances and the meeting attracted
only a Vary moderate class of animals.
But results will establish confidence
another year and there will be no
trouble in securing all the horses that
may be required and of class sufficient
to guarantee good sport.
There is much talk here of raclnr In
Havana next winter. Walter O. Parmer,
representing the Hendrle syndicate, who
recently .returned from looking over the
ground there, had much to say that was
favorable to Cuban turf prospects, and
little doubt is felt but that next winter
will find a well-eaulDDed track in or-
eration In the Cuban capital.

NUMEROUS MEETS MAT
BRING GOOD RESULTS
Pearth Of Promising Men Apparent
In Colleges of Northwest and Sea-
son Seems Likely to Pass Without
Seeing New Records Established.
With one or two exceptions there will
probably b no noteworthy perform
ances among tha college athletes of tha
northwest this season. Last year and
the year preceding there were several
feats worthy of mora than passing
mention, some of the records achieved
being even exceptional. Seldom have
uch opportunities been offered the de
veloping athletes -as those In prospect
this spring, one of which haa as its goal
nothing more than a summer trip to ,
London, England.
Not in tha memory of the old timers
have such measures been 'taken by tha
various coaches to whip their men Into
shape for the spring campaign. At
practically every college the wlntery
months lave been heroically spent in
hill and dale running. The main ob
ject in pursuing these tactics waa to
nroduce distance runners and Incident
ally to build up constitutions for tha
other events. Just how the method has
succeeded can not be known until the
men face the scratch to negotiate a
measured distance. M
As mentioned in these columns before
there are but two or three college men
of any class,-so far as previous per
formances would Indicate. Certainly
there are none of Olympic tlmbar unless
they be Moores and Zacharias of the,
University of Oregon. These two will
have to do better, much better than
they have aver done before, to entitle
them to consideration In tbe Pacific
Coast tryout in May.
