During the past two weeks the handicap
candidates have all been given preliminary
trials, and nearly every one Of them is in
the pink Of condition. just now popular
favor points to Lamplighter as The winner
of the classic event. Banquet is put next,
and generally Judge Morrow and Race
land come next. The winner oflast years S
handicap is in the best possible condition
anu fit TO run for his life. Raceland is
reported scarcely up TO a hard race. Mars,
Russell and Di,blO are next in order. The
last-Damed is not in good condition, and
the mystery Is why he is announced as a
starter.
FidellO, Terrifier and Charade are well
spoken Of; NCmad and Leona Well have
many friends. The lowest weights among
the starters are PickpOcket and Hume, and
both are dangerous. PICK pocket has been
having special preparation, and his owner
says lie thinks all lie has to do is TO 20 out
and win. If the present weather con-
tinues il would not be surprising IL the
records for the track were beaten. Judge
Morrow did the handicap distance this
