Among tho contests for three year.olds the number
of entries from Brookaale is by means large al
though this stable displayed considerable strength in
its twoyear-elAs IN 1883. In contests for all ages
and races at long distances MI. withers has almost

by those who have watched the work of the two colts
that Fresno prove fully the equal of Salvador at

Mr. Belmont has engaged Garrison, and Senator
Hearst has secured Hamilton. Who then will be Mr.
