81, 500 added by the club and $500 in plate BY Mr.
Leonard Jerome; the second horse to receive $500
out OF the stakes; the distance two miles, This
event closed with afty-two nominations, dozen
more OF which will be sure to start. The latest
odds in the betting books denote very plainly which
will be the most likely starters and the value at
which they are ned Dy their owners and the fol-
lowers OF fortunes that lay in the heels Of the
high mettled racer. Colonel McDanei's chestnut
dy Madge is the favorite, to only being offered
against her winning. Reform, Acrobat and Steel
Eyes are considered the next best, and 4 to l
is offered against each OF this trio. Then como
Saxon at to /, Brigand at to l, and Aaron PEN
nington, Grinstead and the Sue Washington colt
at TO EACH The winner may be looked for
among the above lot; but still there few others
that the odds OF 10 10 l are taken on that may
be in the way oil the great iavOrltes at
the finish. These are Bannerette Ruther-
furd, the Seizure colt and Botany Bay; and
Trumpngton at II to l. Judging from pub.
lie performances the winner OF the race should be
one OF the SIX first named; but three year-olds
change greatly during summer and those thas
are very Indifferent performers in the spring fre-
turn Out .cl al
form s a good colt and carries weight admirably,
and 50 does Acrobat and both OF them can go two
miles. Brgand and Saxon have eacn made capi-
tai races, while Madge has shown as much speed
as any three year-Oid OF the year. Mr. Beimonps
Steel Eyes has also run well, ana
many Will fancy him and put lots Of
money on him before the nag falls His race
for tae Travers Stakes at Saratoga has not been
forgotton, waen be had his head IN front OF
Brigand, Artila, Acrobat and stampede ~ the
winning post aud when the judges, as Sarah
Camp would have 1t, '.got con!ugcd" and only saw
Steel Eyes as third. This colt has fine turn OF
speed and should Mr.. Prior have him in first rate
condition on next Saturday, as no doubt he will,
there will be lew, If any, in front Of him at the out
come Aaron remington Is very fast colt; BUS
ITO lbs. seemed to he tribe more than ne couio
wen handle IN the spring; yet he may be better
able TO do it now. and II so he will be troublesome
to some o, the nigh priced brigade.
