RACELAND LEADS THE BETTING.
Ever since Raceland defeated Firenti a. Jerome
Park the best judges Of form I'm thoroughbred have
been confident that he would be invncibe In the most
famous handicap Of the year. OF course Terra Coit'
had a great troop Of followers who always stick to
the Western horse and who especially cnthusissc
because he would have Mclaughlin in the saddle In
this suburban. Badge too. had company OF earnest
admirers while Bella b. the guiding star OF the
battaons that always cluster about the Dryer coors

Bella b. were we'll backed for place. but not with
huge sums at the track to win. Eurns had a few

complaint. The intervals between the rsccs were
ssrceably occupied not only In discussing tho merits
Of the various horses, but also in listening To The
lively music OF the band, whose return 10 the track
