THE ENTRIES FOR To-DAY's RACES.

The Coney Island Jockey Clubs programme for 70
dav is one of remarkable merit. With the variety
and excellence OF the contests and the quality OF the
horses engaged the six Will absorb the earnest
attention of a big army of spectators. In the
Omnium Handicap especially brilliant field Will go
70 the post. Firenz is announced as a probable
starter at 100 pounds. The distance, mile and
furong is too short for the best display OF her un
rivalled staying powers, but she is now in such form
and her class is high that she ought 10 win, as she
has no Kingston to meet in the Omnium. Spokane
NAV run second If he In his absence Princess
Bowling may get the place.
Belviderc may win the first race, with Tea Tray
second although Climax, Irene and Moar must all be
considered dangerous.
In the Bellies Stakes the flying Reclare is an almost
certain winner although she will carry lis pounds
and concede much weight TO many of her competitors
Fairy Queen or Amazon will probably run second.
Hndoocraft ought to win the third race and Niagara
may second.
The Septembrr Stakes at a mile and three quarters

starter with 100 pounds also. None of his races since
he left Jerome Park usthes tho slightest hope that ne
can get place in the September Stakes with such
weight and 1t would be best TO keep him IN tho
stable. sOrTeno's staying powers have been proved,
and with his 10 pounds, expect him 70 get secohu
place. Salvador ought TO win however Ills Nc'Oly

he could both carry heavy weight and stay. In the
Realization he carried 125 pounds and won by snort
