London.

Two American-owned horses are among the favourites to win the Derby, which will be on the Epsom Downs track, Wednesday, June. 2. They are Perifox, owned by William Woodward, chuirman of the New York jockey club, and owner of the Belair stud; and Foray, owned by Marshall Field 111., of New York and Chicago.

These two are among the 70 horses for which a second forfeit of £30 ench, was recently paid. Originally there were 315 entries, but the first forfelt of £0 last summer whittled them down to 180,

By the time of the Anal furfeit of £30 on May 25, the field should bo down to a manageable size of about thirty.
