THE BROOKLYN HANDICAP.
Few Interesting Pointers About the Ap-
preaching Turf Event.

In another week the Brooklyn Jockey Club
Handicap will be decided. and the chances of most
OF the probable contestants are pretty well esti-
mated by this time. OF course the winding-up
gaIIoDs Will perhaps eliminate some Of those now
considered sure starters. but enough is known
now to very nearly estimate what horses will run
Inc Dwyers' powerful quintette-Kingston
Hanover, Blackburn, Longstreet and Sir Dixon
will probably simmer down to the last named.
Sir Dixon has shown q good mile in LAX AT
GraEesend, which, while not as fast work as
Diabo, Loantaka and others at the track have
shown, was well done. If the crack 3-year-old OF
1888 can stand the crucial work of the next week
ana improve on 1t his chances will be of the best
as his weight, lis pounds, will not stop him.
Senator Hearst's Gorge is not by apy means ont
of trailing, as reported. saw her gallon n few
days ago at Sheepshead Bay and she went we'll
showing no signs of the lameness which troubled
her last year. She has had fair amount of work
out still In my opinion she is far more likely to
start in the Suburban than in the BROOKLYN
Another Californian, however. is very much in
the Brooklyn, and that is Lucky Baldwin IS mare
Los Angeles. She has been at Grayesend now
about ten days and all the trainers there say they
have got her to beat. If the track is beayy Ios
Angeles and Barnes are ant to give the cyr.cSs
work to do to beat them.
The Belmont pair Fides and Raceland are both
probable starters and Hamilton Will ride the
selected of the pair. Both have shown good work
but most people think Fides will find the trip too
far Tor her AS to Raceland, If he starts he will
probably be the favorite. N "--A
OF Captain Browns pair Reporter is considered
done well at Westchester Badge, IF he does not NOT
incur ten-pound penalty at Elizabeth this week
VIII be dangerous contestant Castawav III is
another certain starter unless he goes wrong and
Orihamme another This horses winning race a
few days ago at Elizabeth showed that the second
for the Suburban of 1883 must not be oyerIook ed
in the Brooklyn, and in mud Orifiamme is at his
best - ' N1'
Come-to-Taw, Loautaka and Diablo have done
the pest work OF any of the BROOKLYN Handicap
norses tnat nave not run in public, The first
named worked last week the full distance in Z:iI
ana LoantaRa has shown mile in Al. The latter
morse is the unknown quantity of the race, If he
can go the distance, his speed is equal to any of
the horses In the great contest.
Dlaoio mas also improved steadily. His owner
mas noV packed him, but as he always does will
run MIN 10 win. Last spring Diablo beat Ham
over ano Ekwood this distance in 2:0e with his
mead pulled around 10 one side. and at Lilo pounds
Inc others have him to beat in the race.
Major Domo, Sorrento, Eric Flood Tide Sea-
probable starters Seadrft is another horse of the
Loantaka type very fast but having never gone
the distance, although he did beat Inspector a
mile last fall
Nengeur, bred at John T. Stewards Council
Bluf's (la.) Stud farm. has, ii is said beaten his
stable companions Strldeaway and Drumstick in
a trial. III SO, his chance is not to be despIsed
Dunboyne Successor and perhaps another one
or two may be added to the foregoing list. but 1t
Is not probable that any not named will have
much chance. To locate the winner looks diff
cult task, but Raceland, Sir Dixon, Los Angeles
and Castaway III. look the best at the weights
with Loantaka a strong probability If he can 10
the route. .-Horsemdn. o.
