Dan Sparling is very fast colt and must not be
overlooked In this race having run the distance

only two owners signded their Willingness last night
TO run. These were the brothers Loriiiard, George
l.. stating that the Duke OF Magenta and
Albert would start, ana Pierre authorized the
OF spartan TO oe put on the board. This Will be
a small field: but from what hear OF the improve
Spartan since his last appearance the chances
are that the Duke will not get away with him" as
easily oil his races In the spring ana

kindly or spartan Will win the race.
