This makes a total for this years handi-
cap Of seventy-fve entries against stxty-six
last year Then, out of the sixty-six, fifteen
went to the post. Ii was won by the Bever-
wycke stables Castaway II, four-year-old,
who was chucked in with the light impost of
100 pounds, and was ridden by Bum. Badge
81, ia. was second; Eric -, 10 third Come
to-Taw 1l6, Los Angeles 1l6. Nengeur 100, Ori-
famine 100, Sir Dixon 1l8 and Cynosure lO7
also started. Los Angeles was first choice
at ? 10 l. Badge was second pick at 5, Sir
Dixon at 5. Castaway was % and Eric, the
third place horse, was 90 The winner made
all the running, and won in canter by
eight lfngths-three between second and
third. The time for the mile and quarter
was 2:10; the track was in fair condition.
NO RELIANCE IN MARES.
As the weights will not be announced
until February l>t only a casual glance at
the chances for success Of the entries can be
made at this writing. But bearing in mind
that very true old English racing maxim of
"Eorses IN the spring and mares in the fall"
and furthermore the recorded fact that
neither Of the two above string handicaps
have ever been Won by mare. it looks ike
labor lost to consider the chances Of the
mares entered. In fact, but very few mares
ever come to the post for either event The
best showing ever made by mares In either
OF the handCaps has been the third of
Gorge, in the Suburban Of 1889, with 10 up,
and that of FirenZi in 1890 with l26. If it is
true that history repeats itself then the fCl-
lowing mares entered in the Brooklyn have
no chance 10 win: Ambulance, Cleopatra,
English Lady, Guyda, Her Highness. Nellie
BY, Los Angeles, Odet'o and SenoIita.
TOP WEIGHTS.
Top weights will probably be assigned to
TenEy, Kingston, Raceland, Prince ROYAL,
Tournament Castaway III, Badge. In the
middle weights CassiuS, Demuth. Judge
Morrow, Potomac, Tea Tray and Yosemite
may be found. On public performance
Ienny Will probably be opening favorite,
Judging from his running last wear in
the suburban where lie was handicaped at
l35 pounds and carried three pounds over
weight. He then ran third TO Salvador and
Cassins and was beaten three lengths IN the
fast time of 2:06 A., Salvador landing the
race by a short head.

LOCAL WINTER BOOKS.
Although the experience of making win
ter books on both events has not been very
beneficial to the local book-makers, the win
ueTs each year having been well played
both By Eastern and local spectators, ii is
stated that as soon a the weights are pub
lished that the "OOOkiss" here will afford
the public another chance to do some pick
ing and guessing.
TROTTERs' WEIGHTS.
Weight for age for trotters is a subject
that must soon command the attention of
hrR 81 a lion vrF 10,
makers. The present law regarding weight
was framed when colt tr9tting was compar-
ailyeiy unknown and consequently a uni
form weight was all that was required.
Now, however, that early development
and colt trotting IS the rule instead of the
exception, the old law requires change to
conform with the progress made elsewhere
According TO the scale of weights governing
the racing tart lwO-yeaT- old is required to
carry elghty-0ne pounds IN August at the
distance Of one mile, " lille a three-year-old
Is required TO carry in the same month and
at the same distance to carry III pounds. A
four-yeaT-o!d under the same conditions
must carry l22 pounds and fiYe-year-old and
upward l24 pounds. In distances of less
Than one mile the difference in the weight
assigned 2 and 3 years old IS not so marked
If long experience has demonstrated the
wisdom Of this scale of weights as applied
to thOTOughbredS, why should not the same
course applied 10 meet the different require
mcnts be equally desirable for trotters? Pm.

Two-YEAR-oLD RACES.
The Passaic County Agricultural Society
ANNOUNCES that the first renewal of the
Early Blossom stakes for tw0-yeaT-olds
VIII be run on Monday, February 10th.
The added money, which was $1,000 last
year, has been increased to $500. Entries
close Monday, February I'd.
The Gutenberg management will give
TnF al ~ II
on Washingion'S birthday, and of the Sham
rock stakes on ST. Patrick'S day. Both are
for two-year-olds, and $1,000 is the added
money in each.
The great value of American stakes are
beginning to attract the attention of Euro
pean breeders. A wealthy German breeder
PANIED Charles Lauer, who owns the we'll
known stallion Gabriel. has shipped all his
equine possessions to Kentucky and will 10
cate near Lexington. There is as much
money IN winning one Futnrity stake as in
any eight races run in Germany. 10 saw
nothing of the Realization and the Junior
Champion. Add 10 these the rich prizes
run for at Morris Park, and it will be seen
that II man has really high-grade horses
lie Will win AS much in one season in Amer
lea as he would win in FIVE years in Ger
many. There Is local rumor that Dick
Havey, formerly with Palo Alto, will have
charge of Mr.. Lauer's stable
sTpENDIAEY STEWARDS.
The Victoria Racing Club of Australia
ha3 appointed Harry Smith, & member of
the club. one of the best-known racing men
there, as stipeudiary steward, to watch all
suspicious actions, either in the riding or in
me betting, and keep a general lockout for
JOBS. Mr.. Smith was selected out Of fifty
four applicants. This is indeed move in
The risht direction, and should be initiated
by every racing association in America. The
trouble IS TO get the right man, for he must
not only be thoroughly competent but also
lncorruptibly honest. II such man could
be secured for every track in America, it
would he Of the greatest benefit to the turf.
As 1t Is now. many a race-goer hears and
secs much that he thinks is suspicious, but
declines TO make himself prominent by call
ing the judges attention to il. In fact. in
pany cases he is pOoh-poohed BY them and
gRured. But II there was one regular Off
