THE BROOKLYN HANDICAP.
Hints as to the Outlook in Today's
Big Event.

Big Event.
NEW YORK. May 14.-If the weather
is at all favorable tomorrow the Brook
Ign handicap will be seen by the largest
crowd that has ever gathered within
the Brooklyn Jockey clubs Enclosure.
The race never looked more open, and
those who make the Journey to the race
track will in all probability see an inter
esting ana brilliant contest.
The opinion was universal tonight
that LaInplighter would go to the post
the favoiite. He will probably open at
s to 5, but if Pierre Lorillard does not
send up a big commission from Johns
town, or if M. f. Dwyer does not decide
to plunge on him, Lamplighter ought to
be 2 to l. or 3 to l. Banquet ought to
be the second choice; but, if Mr.. DWyer
decides to play his horse, Banquet Will
go to the post The favorite.
OF the others, Charade and Judge
Morrow will unQueStiOnably find most
support. Judge Morrow is as uncertain
as a woman. an aspen leaf or an indus
trial stock. He Invariably does what he
is not expected 10 do. When no one
thinks he can win, and he is at 10 TO l.,
Judge Morrow can give Salvador race ;
at 4 TO 5, when his owner, his jockey
and his trainer are all down, Flying Joe
can run, his eye out. The Judge is at
his beSt in the spring, and at that sea-
son when he is trained to the hour he is
good second-cIass handicap horse. In
tOmOrrOW'S race he has all the advant-
age of skilful and competent trainer
and of being perfectly fit He will run
tomorrow the best race he will run this
season.
If the track is heavy there will be a
plunge Oh Mars. This gallant horse
was. for long time, an object of abuse
and rdicule He is of an extremely
nervous temperament, and as a two
year-old was never quite able to do him
self justice. Last summer and fall Mars
showed his best form, and he was then
really good-class handicap horse, not
tirst-clasS horse. it is true, but we'll UP
in the second division. He has unlim-
tied courage. and has ability to go twice
as far as he will be asked to travel to-
morrow. John a. Morris said last year
that Mars could beat LeXington'S four
mile record, and Mr.. Morris always
knows what he is talking about. Mars
has great racing power, but Is lacking
in that phenomenal burst of speed
which the great horses possess.
Pickpocket was well named. He has
run worst when he should have run
best, and his career has been one long
disappointment to his stable and its fol-
lowers. He is great horse in his trials,
and usually very poor horse in his
races. He will not lack preparation,
however, for his trainer, j. W. Rogers,
is one OF the foremost men i'll the bust
ness, and. besides being a careful horse
man, is a remarkably intelligent man.
X.rl.f,
LOrillard, sand Rogers are regarded by
turfmen as the best trainers in the
country.
Banquet has never won long race in
the spring, and it will surprise every
good judge if Banquet wins. That he
will be well ridden, with Garrison in
the saddle, goes without saying, and he
has been carefully trained for the race.
Russell does not care to 60 a mile and
quarter. and, in addition, Russell is
an oyerrated horse. He was seasoned
twO-year-Old in bad year and beat
second-cIass two-year Odds who were
not fit. Besides. Russell has been raced
too much, and it will be a matter of
great establishment if this eTratic and
uncertain horse should win. Russell
ought TO be run at distances not over a
mile.
OHdIauG LOOKS dangerous. CDardQ6
has speed and courage. If he gets to
the leaders heading the last sixteenth
of mile, Charade's hackers can 20
down and cash their tickets. lie has
been thrown into the handicap as far as
weights are concerned. and he is thor
Oughly seasoned. 1t is a great mis-
fortune that Mr.. Jones could not get
Bergen to ride his horse, for Sloane
cannCt do him Justice
Nomad is not an early horse, and will
hardly figure III tho race, nor viii Race
land in all probability.
Dablo is outclassed and Hume ought
to be at the business end Of one OF his
owners sulkies. AonZo has not shown
class enough to win such a race.
After everything has been said, the
tact remains that the best horse in the
race is Lamplighter, and that if he is fiji
he Will WIN and win easily. But he
will have to be fit to win. The lndca
tons are that the handicap will be rur
over track a triiie deep and slow, bu
as safe as anybody could wish for, there
being two or three inches of loose dir
on top Of the bard ground. If no rail-
falls the time should be between 2:OS
and 200, but il is idle TO talk abou
eQualling or surprising Dry MonoDole'!
2:0719, which is the record for the dis
tance at GrdYescnd.
