season. Geo. Kinney, Miss Woodford, Checkmate,
Bootjack, EldOrado, Ecuador and two-year old
colt by Glenelg. out OF Cruoulet, compose the
Dwyer stable. Geo. Kinney beat Iroquois at
Monmouth park this season, and hence he now
takes rank among the heetest. His other achieve
ments have shown that he has the speed and bot.
tom to maintain his reputation. One OF the most
interesting features Of the coming meeting will be
that Geo. Kinney and IroQuois are to again face
the starter together. The owner of IroQuois be-
neves that be can Outrun Kinney and the Dryers
are determined that their horse shall retain the
iaurels he has won II he has the stun in him.

beat IroQuois this season at Monmouth Park, and

win back his lost h0nors from both horses at the

In condition at Monmouth Park; that his trip
across the ocean had united him for good work
on the turf No such claim can enter into the
coming race All three OF these horses will run on
their merits, and the best one Will win. In fact
the races here next week will determine the rela.
tive merits OF number OF horses that have been
winning honors this season. In Dryers stable is
also the beauty, Miss WoOdfprd, as handsome q
piece OF horsefesh as anybody wants to see.
