THE JEROME PARK ENTRIES TO-DAY.


In the list of starters for the various races at Jerome
Park to-day appear the welknown names salvador
INrenzi and Raceland and the fact that these three
fayorites Of the public VIII ought alone to be
enough to bring out legion OF spectators. III Is
sharp disappointment that the California giant Ell RIO
Rev is not announced as a probable starter IN inc
Titan Stakes. The stake IS a very rich one, as S2oo
must bs paid for each starter, with forfeit OF SloO
for horses not declared out by September 2 FOR
those declared out by that date the forfeit was %2o
but OF 1853 entries 76 declared out at 500 each'
making S1,4s0. With seven starters, as named De-
low eighty mast pay forfeit OF 800 cach max
ing SS 200. With starters at 5000 each ana
$4,000 added money. the Titan Stakes VIII have total
value of SI6O60 Surely that is prize worth winning
But the reason why only probable starters are
announced is clear enough. Owners and trainers
feared that FL Rio Rey would run, and, as by the
conditions Of the race he would have TO carry only
Io2 pounds, they did not think 1t possible Tor theF
two yearolds 10 beat him. There is every temptation
for the famous Californian to run. The track Is IN
faultless condition, and the weather will be favorable
Ell Rio Rey is so big and powerful colt that 122
pounds would be chd's play for him. 1t is difficult
to imagine any reason for keeping the famous two
yearold in the stable when a prize of $4,000 Is AZ
his mercy, unless he has hit HIM
self or hurt himself in some way
since he won the Dunmow stakes Tuesday. Possibly
Mr. Estil manager OF Mr.. Winerss stable, may change
his mind to-day, ana may START THO krcde SUI VI
Norfolk II Ell Rio Rey should run he would win the
Titan.
Tournament is reported 10 be doubtful starter
Senator Hearst has gone West on pressing business
II he were here he would certainly insist upon
starting Tournament, unless some accident has oc-
CURED to the colt since he second In the Nursery
Stakes on Tuesday for the Senator does not believe
in the policy of keeping useful horses shut UP In
bandbox II FL Rio Rey does not start, and Tourna-
ment does start, expect Tournament to win' with
Magnate second II neither FL Rio Boy nor tournament
should run, then Magnate ought TO win with Bur
lingtOn second.
salvador will be called upon to concede much
weight to his competitors In the first race. but he
is capable OF doing IT, He should win In handsome
style, with Brown Princess in second pace, -, q.
Mr. Belmont proposes TO start TWO m me d.
Nicholas Handicap al mile, which Will inclu9e d
fne list of fast horses. These two win De Lacy
set rs paccmaker for Raceland, who should win the
ST. Nicholas while Reporter may run second aithoush
Badge is now in such form as to be extremely dal-
gerons for second place. , -, ~,
Grenader Is likely win the fourth race, with Brad
ford at his heels. ,.,,- ....-,.., ,to

day and win the last race Bin Barnes coming next
