Two of the crack two-year-odS in the
Morris string are at least under sus-f
picion. Calamity. the imported son of
Galopin and Jennie 3, is very decidedly
on the shelf, his tendons having bowed,
and the way his owner speaks of him
makes 1t sound as if he will never see
the post. Agile, the colt by Spring.
field out of Active. is not doing we'll,
and the chances of his showing in pub
lie the form he has manifested all along
in private are apparently not regarded
as by any means SupereXcellent. The
uncertainty is, of course. the very thing
which keeps the sport of the race course
going, but it could scale ely be better
eXempIified than in this instance. That
the 'all scarlet" will have good sea-
son one can scarcely doubt, but it does
not seem half 50 easy to ''mow them
down" as it was this time last year.
Kingmaker has apparently gone for
good and all, and the only chance is
that he may be gotten to a race in the
fall. If not. he II be sent to Mir. Fol-
lansbee's ranch Mexico.
ARA, the Kentucky Derby winner
was not foaled at Philadelphia, as most
Of the newspapers have it. At the Kilt
son sale in November, 1883, George j.
Long, of the Bashford Manor stud. near
Louisville. KY, bought the stallion
Alarm and three brood mares, VIZ, Sis
ter of Mercy, Luminous ami Abba.
The three were i'm foal, and the follow
ing spring at Basford Manor farm they
foaled Bashford, Ignite and ARA. all
three of which have become famous.
1t was one of the luckiest. purchases on
record.
L'Intriguante has gone amios, as was
expected she would. Mr.. Walden has
said all along that if she stood training
she would beat La ToSca at even
weights, and he felt good about her
Metropolitan chance.
Reckon does not look good, more ia fact
as if she had just finished campaign
than was just commencing one, faded
and light. and it is quite likely that the
severity of the tasks asked of her last
season has had its effect.
Dalsyrian is very nervous animal,
and a light feeder; so much so that he
can be given next to no work in private.
Ajax struck most people as the best
two-year-old seen out so far. His beau
tiful action is much admired, and the
only doubt about him is whether he will
like distance. Certainly, in the early
pdIt vi tllC SCdoOll, IC Ut dUlG To
hold his own in any company.
Pickpocket is greatly improved in
looks since last year, and on collateral
form he seems likely to be a contending
element among high class races.
Fairview pulled up lame after re-
cent race, and will not be seen for some
time probably. 1t is reported to be the
return of his old trouble with one of his
fOrelegs.
His Highness has been heavily backed
for the Suburban during the past week,
and the odds have been cut down to 6
to l. His price when the money first
went on was Is 10 l. 1t was public
money. however, that was bet upon the
colt, and it is still very doubtful if he
starts.
The Monmouth Park management has
partltIoned OFF part OF the grand stand
with private boxes. In place of the
boxes being numbered they will be
named after celebrated race horses,
such as Iroquois, Foxhail. Hindoo, Sal
vator. Tenny, Kingston, Hanover, etc.
Ed Corrigan's great horse, Riley, re-
Gently struck himself while at work,
and as fever has set in he has been with
drawn from active training. He will
not be able to face the starter for a
month at least, perhaps not this season,
Tristan has evidently gone amiss. for
Secretary Fellows, OF the Coney Island
Jockey club, announced officially Friday
last that he had been declared out of the
Suburban handicap and all other en-
ga9ementS.
The fractional time made by Major
DomO in the Brookdale handicap shows
him to be very nearly first-class and a
dangerous factor in any race. 1t was:
First quarter, :25; half, 81; three-quar-
tiers, ZIG; mile. 1:42, and mile and an
eighth, 1854. Very even indeed.
Merry Monarch, now that he h as got
ridden of his winter flesh, looks small,
light-barreled colt that can scarcely be
expected to hold his own III high class
company without improvement.
Willie l. looks picture, ''fit as fid-
de" and full of quality.
OSric is most unpleasing animal,
being very leggy, with light barrel
and with notably fiat, straight back.
