STALLION RACE OUTLOOK.
The Attendance Bids Fair to Surpass
the Record-PopulaT Favor with Mel
son.


| BosroN, Sept. II.
Every ticket TO the grand stand for tn,
| grand stallion races tomorrow have been sole
at premium.
At BEACON Park yesterday there was ar
| immense attendance Of lovers of horsefiesh
Rll eager to catch glimpse Of the fast stai
lions and PAGERS which are to be sent tomor
row for the big purses hung up by Wesley
L. Balch.
There is strong tide Of popular favor for
Nelson. as he 10 looked for to win the So.
600 stake, but there is an undercurrent in
favor of Alcryon. The latter's friends poin,
to the fact that in the only race where he
was forced to show speed Alcryon had 10,
of reserve force to spare, and that Geneva
S. is faster than any stallion in the race out
side of Nelson and Alcryon.
About noon yesterday the crowd WAS the
largest seen there during the day, because at
that time the famous stations, Nelson,
Alcryon and Junemont were being logged.
The Maine horse was handled by MIR c.
ii. Nelson, his owner. who gave him mile
and repeat, the second mile being made in
2.25 on the outside of the track. Trainer
James Golden logged Junemont a few miles,
the fastest one of which was made in 2 2d.
Alcryon was not sent full mile very fast,
rs his driver WAS content to try him out on
the quarter miles, and he sent him the second
quarter of slow mile in 32 l-2 seconds on
the outside of the track.
Though Joe Young, Mulatto, and one or
other noted horses entered for the big race
were expected to arrive at the park during
the day, they did not show up and now it is
quite doubtful if they are coming. If they
are not on the track by noon today the
Il. =. e.
All doubts about the coming of Mt. Morris
were satisfied yesterday when Colonel Rus
sell said positively that he would not start
the son of Smuggler, much to the disappoint-
ment of many.
The stallion Gold Ring will certainly not
start, nor will the stallion Brown. Nothing
was heard yesterday from the owner Of the
stallion Bayone Prince. so it is very likely
that he will not be here either Among
turfmen in Boston and vicinity the impression
prevails that some of the Western stations
were scared off by the big performance of
Nelson at Buffalo, and of Alcryon at Hart
ford
Horsemen are looking quite confidently to
Alcryon for second money
Next comes the Boston horse Pilot Knox
who will give Alcryon and the rest quite
an argument for money in the race. He has
been working out we'll and if he is him
self when John II. May draws the lines over
his back he will go fast aud keep going for
a good part of the miles he will have to trot.
Junemont is rather an unknown quantity
so far as this year is concerned and he is
coming long way if he is not looking for a
fair share of the purse. He is said to be
very speedy and will not give up the race at
any part of the mile.
