Albert feels confident of surprising MS re-
cord of 62l miles. providing that heis pushed.

ever before. and he hopes TO make the record
| OF his life in this race. Herty too, IL IN fine
fettle John Hughes looks bright, aud IS as
clipper as q lark.
al the walkers claim TO be in fine condl-
ton, and If their expressions Of confidence
| are any criterion. this Will be one OF the
grandest Of six days races that have ever
| taken place in the famous structure. The
| SIC. 900 cash prizes are sufficient TO make the
| contestants exert themselves Another fea-
| ture of the race is the short distance contests
on the inner track. There will be dashes
! from one-half 10 two miles every evening. III
which all the professional short distance rum
ners of England Canada and the United
States will compete. Oarsmen Hanan. Ross,

simmons will start the men on Their journey

The entries for the Monmouth Park stakes,
which closed on the lst. are now all at hand,
| and they number 1854; these nominations
| being made by 10 different subscribers. The
| largest number of entries are by Marcus
! DAILY, Of Montana. who makes 20. The
| Westchester firm Of j. A. h A. II. Morris
makes 2O6 nominations; the Rancocas stable,
/ 173; ID. ID. Withers, Isl; +. G. Violence, III:
| F. J. Dwyer & Son. 90 W. +. Dwyer. 81; and
| Hearst & Co.. II. Of the total number of
| entries ,s9j are In the two-ycar-old stakes
and 5l8 in those for three-year-ods. The
total is less than that of q year ago, when
there were 3.174 nominations.
A plan Of racing first III the West then az
! Saratoga and finally at Monmouth and the
/ fall meetings in the East will be pretty gener-
/ allv followed by Western owners this year
! Judging from the way in which their entrees
were made. Most of those for the Monmouth
meeting are confined 10 the stakes 10 be run
! during the last three or four weeks there. Ed
! Corrigan however, has entered literally in all
the stakes so that his string will probably not
| be sent 10 SrTatOga.
Milton Young has at his McGrathiana stock
| farm over hundred and forty finely bred
mares His stations are Onandago, Duke OF
| Montrose. Strathmore. Favor, Macduf and
the imported horses Woodlands and Penzance.
Senator HeaIst's son, w. X. Hearst has an

his fathers racing and breeding horses, but

| Gently joined the turf under the name Of Mr.
Manning" and well-known recent recruits
such as A. F. Walcott Marcus DAILY, the junior
| Keene, G. W. Chaplin can be mentioned rs
| well as A. J. CaSsett and W. l.. Scott, who
with Pierre Lorllard, mark their return tothe
| turf in frequent entries TO MOnmouth's great
| stakes. The turf never was in such prosper
Gus condition as now, and bids fair TO remain
| so.
Not content with breeding thoroughbreds
| in both America and England. John A. Morris
| has launched out into a new scheme Down
on his Texan ranch he has some 300 mustang
mares These he has bred to thoroughbred
horses, every one of which is well-bred and
over sixteen hands in height The foals ofthese
unions are TO be bred 10 trotting horses of
standing breeding. with the intentions Of thus
securing q model saddle horse for which
| there is now such great demand. The eX-
pertinent Is entirely novel.
There appears 10 be considerable doubt
about whether Tenny will start III the Brook
| lyn handicap OF not. In regard 10 the matter
David j. Pulitzer says: 1t il not safe 10 SAY
Tenny will not start in the Brooklyn handi-
cap RS May Is is early in the racing season.
and there are SO many rich stakes later on IN
which Tenny would have chance it would
not be good policy TO take any risks in the
way of starting him so early IN the season. and
maybe when he would be a bit short of work.
Nothing goes amiss III the meantime. Tenny
will start in the suburban. and | am no way
backward in saying that | like his chances.
and do not care either if Firezi should be
ready for that event. as | feel satisfied my
horse can beat her, as against the mare he
will have no Salvador to beat. and everybody
knows how he fought II out with Salvador IN
their great match. He sulked in that race and
was three lengths behind when they entered
the home stretch. and yet Salvador only beat
him out few inches. My trainer timed fCnny
the first furlong Of that race. and declared
that he ran It IN ten seconds. do not expect
10 meet any Salvador with Tenny this season,
and tins Is why like ms chances for the SUI

The bill 70 prevent fraud AT agricultural fairs
and other Trace meetings III Maine, 10y the
entry Of fast horses in slow classes, has passed
the State Legislature. AND the dishonest
trcksters. who have reaped such harvest
down East in former wears. will now find their
occupiton gone or at least very dangerous.
as heavy penalties are provided by
the new law for all such under
hand practices ~ have made trotting
in Maine a good deal of farce for several
seasons back. Frequently a horse that conld
go mile IN 2:30 easily has been entered in the
2:iO class aud carried on the best end Of the
parse. while only last season horse that had
record OF 2l7Sl was taken the rounds of
agricultural fairs, entered in the 230 and 2l0
classes, and scoOped everything worth taking.
