Entries for the Old-IimeS race, that is to be run
at sslcepshead Bay saturday, close to-day. IL II
believed that the required number of entries Will be
received. The contest is much talked about ana inc
public will be greatly disappointed II 1t should TALL
These are the conditions:
A dash OF four miles, purse OF 5000, OF when

NJ F. DwSyer has announced his Intention to enter
Eaceland and Banquet, and may start both In case
the fail that the latter received on saturday did him
no injury. John A. Morris has long harbored the
suspicion that Mars 60 four miles In faster time
than was made by Lexington, and shor. time ago
said that he wanted run him against time al Nor
ris Park next spring. II is not certain that he Will
care to try Mars against remarkable horse Ban
quet who, even without the gelding allowance, will
have only 1O4 pounds TO carry With light weight
why could not Banquet take off LeXngtons record at
least ten or twelve seconds Many OF the shrewdest
and most experienced of trainers think that he Will
have no difficulty In doing it. Lambley, his pet
Jockey is disabled, but he will have clever and
capable Jockey In Sims, who Is at the top Of his
calling.
Mr.. Morris figured that Mars ought TO run four
miles in about rs, with only eighty pounds up
and II is not improbable that Mars could do the tack
ia much better time, little calculation will show.
IL looks If it would be a very easy thing for him
the first mile In 49, the second In :4S, the
third in l 40 and the fourth in 80 That would
make 10 for the four miles. banquet ought 10 be
able TO run the first mile in :46, the second In AZ,
the third in and the fourth in 40, which would
make the four miles easy task IN Z 10. Or he
might rate the four miles In about AZ 12 to the mile
Good day and track, many men will be willing 10
bet that Lexngtons time will be beaten Of sight.
Another probable starter Is Frederick Gebhard' 5
four ycarold colt Warpath 1t is believed that War
path has not had opportunity prove his real
worth, because the races at Il mile and thercabouts in
which lie has been not up to his caliber. lie
has never shown ability to get himself extended
TO the winning point In the short of this day
and generation. AT four miles there's telling what
warpath will take it into his head to do. II would
never do TO discourage him. as he may be needed u
make up field.
Gwynn L. Thompkins's Marguerite would
surely be starter II she had beer fortunate to
win her last race at Saratoga. That a dash OF
