NEW YORK, May 14.-Everything is in
readiness for the Brooklyn handicap,
which will be run Friday. The handicap
candidates at Gravesend received their
last trial gallops prior to the great race
yesterday morning. 1t had become pretty
generally known that the most important
preparatory work yet done this spring
would take place yesterday morning, and
the result was that the lawns in front Of
the grand stand and paddock were
thronged with visitors. The interest ia the
result of the various trials was intense.
Owners and trainers were equally anxious
to see if their charges would stand the
crucial test and not be found wanting at
the last moment. Soon after sunrise the
Santa Anita youngsters filed out of their
stables. They walked slowly twice around
the track. They then cantered slowly for
tnree furlongs and were taken back to
their quarters. In a very few minutes Los
Angeles and Santiago appeared upon
the track. The pair cantered till reaching
the quarter post where they broke into
business like gallop. They came up the
stretch neck and neck, but the pace was
not as hot as many present anticipated it
would be. They were pulled up when they
mad gone mile. The mare covered the
distance in AS and finished fresh and well
Santiago got furlong and did not create
favorable impression by his performance.
Loantaker's work this morning was
exceptionally good, in fact it was one of the
best trials made. He negotiated the haudi-
car. distance in 2:064, the last mile of
which he covered IN l :423I.
Riley and Judge Morrow, Green Morris
Brooklyn handicap candidate, worked to-
gether. Taylor rode the former and George
Covlngton piloted Judge Morrow. After
the warming up they were sent the distance
at business like pace The watches reg
istered l :46H when they swept around the
lower turn and :1314 when Judge Morrow
passed the Judges box. Riley was several
lengths away, and evidently in difficulties
at the finish.

meath and Thorndale moved a mile to-
gether The former finished two lengths
IN front OF his stable mate in :471%
A hundred watches clicked when Bur

up, appeared with George Miller on his
back, and Saunterer with Martin up can
tered slowly toward the quarter mile post
They broke when they reached the post,
and came laundering by the grand stand
almost hidden in cloud of dust The pair
covered tho handicap course in 2:13 with
out any apparent exertion. The fractional
time was quarter, :2515; half, :514; three
quarters, l :1S, and mile, 1:46L.
Castaway Second, Cassius and Once
Again then had their trial. Taylor rode
