sporting blood In his veins looks eagerly
forward to next Monday. on which day ths
legitimate racing season In this State will
begin. and the crack thoroughbfeds OF the
country will meet to battle for . twenty
thousand dollar stake in the Brooklyn
handicap. No turf event attracts as nucy
attention as the Brooklyn handicav. thst
first big race Of the year. for which horsee
havel been specially prepared during
the early spring. Thousands of dollars arc
wagered upon these horses during the
winter in the future books. and every one
connected with the stable. from the owner
to the "rubbers," regards his particular
horse in the light of . gold mine There
will be no pulling" in the handicap. Every
horse that goes to the post will be fit to-
run the race of his life. and will strand
every nerve and muscle to be first past the
wlnning-post.
The Brooklyn jockey Club grounds will,
no doubt. be crowded TO their utmost
capacity Monday. There are never less
than thirty thousand people present at
this great race and. judging from the in
terest shown this year, that number will
be exceeded. James Rowe will do the
starting this year, and he is an able and
conscientious successor to the prince OF
starters, James +. Caldwell All eyes
will be on Mr.. Rowe on Monday about
O'Clock. for the races will probably be start
ed st that hour.
Which horse will win che big racef That
question cannot be answered until Monday.
1t may be shat Longstreet. the grandson OF
LongfeIJw, will carry the blue and red
braces of NJ. i. Dwyer to the front WIN
ner. Perhaps the purple and white CAP
worn by Judge Morrow's Jockey will be the
first to catch the judges eyes: The familiar
Campbell may flash under the wire in the
van. or possibly Raceland. Port Chester.
Major Domo. Clarendon. Russell or Mad
stone may finish in 'front.'
AS TO condition little can be said Co lessen
the chances of any of the favorites. Judge
Morrow has done all that has been asked Of
him in his work. He is In the best possible
condition that his veteran trainer and
owner. Green B. Morris. can get him.
Then there is Racelsnd. already q Suburban
winner, in whose case the old saw, "A1ean
horse for long race 10 pecnl-
iarly apt He, is grand horse.
AS he will probably be coupled with
Longstreet or Banquet in the betting tall
three being owned by Nj. +. Dwyerl specus
lators will have an advantage. for this 10 q
trio hard to beat. Nalcott d Cempbelfs
Pessarra is in great shape nnd may do some
crowding at the finish. Cassius wss to
have been the candidate in this stable, for
his work had been excellent A few days
ago. however. ho began TO 60 wrong. and
drawn this morning. Ii 10 said that moro
