of the country will participate. Of the

post carrying the hopes and dollars of
the general public. He has for some time
held the honor of ante-poSt favOrite,
and all the future books have long
since marked ''rull' opposite his name.
1t Is generally conceded that on dry
track his chances are second to none.
His best work has been at mile and a

of the best. Russell, the speedy but

Great Trial Runs.
Prominent among the horses in the

Domo. The former is said to have
shown that lis owners confidence in

who ran second in the Suburban handi-
cap. is credited with some very fast
trials in this vicinity. Other horses
| likely to come to the post are Reckon,
Portchester, San Juan, Kingmaker
and India Rubber. That good contest
will result there is no doubt.
Most of the handicap candidates re-
ceived their final trials today. Long

this morning In 2:1lS4 without any urg-

half mile. Russell did the dis

running badly at the end. Maidstone,
with considerable overweight, made the
distance In 2:1434; he was urged in the
final quarter Port Chester beat the
mare (Reclare) nearly dozen lengths
in 2:12%. Raceland and Banquet were
out, but did not go the handicap dis

was disappointing. He covered the
handicap distance, with full weight up,
in 2:15.

Which horse will win the big race?
| That question cannot be answered until
Monday. 1t may be that Longstreet, the
grandson of LOngfelloW, will carry the
blue and red braces of NJ. F. Dwyer to
the front winner. Perhaps the pur-

As to Condition,
little can be said to lessen the chanceOf
any of the favOriteS. Judge Morrow
has done all that has been asked of him
in his work. lie is in the best possible
condition, and with 116 pounds up he
has a good chance. Then there is Race
