ql5), 70 Tamblen a24l and others in
233 40, q grand performance at the
weights Lamplighter's record speaks
for itself, II no goes to the post ut ne
will win.
Banquet is six-year-old gelding by
Imp, Rayon dor, dam Ella \. Ha raced
ut Elizabeth this spring. and easily
beat Terrier and plitzen in a good
race. lie was then thought to have a
chance to win the handicap, and was
sent back to Brooklyn ia. be prepared,
lie will have one advantage in that he
will have the great Garrison on his
back, and as every one well knows the
Snapper" has no equal.
Banquet never shows well in the
spring, however, and Tor that reason
shrewd judges eye his pretensions as
kance. That he was u grand racehorse
last season no one dispute, but at tho
same time his spring record is against
him.
His best races were his seconds to
Lamplighter in the champion stakes
and tho Twin City handicap. Lamp
lighter always held him safe, and now,
when year older, there seems TO be no
reason why he should not do the same
this year,
Judge Morrow is six.year-old bay
horse, by Yagabond, dam Moonlight,
He has not been seen in public this
year, but is known to be in good con-
dition, He is always pounds better in
the spring than at any other time OF the
year, and it was this knowledge Of his
popularity that led the newspapers
to name him as the winner OF the
Brooklyn handicap last year. That he
captured that event in handsome style
the readers OF the papers, who got
thirty to one in the winter books, can
testify.
Kingston, up to few days ago was
regarded as doubtful starter. He has
been working so well, however, that
Mr.. Dryer has decided to send him
also for the great Handicap. lie is an
aged horse by spendthriit, dam Ka.
pangR The public have come to regard
him as essentially a sprinter, but he
will go a distance II called upon. lie
started in very few races over mile
last year. In his last race, the Second
Special, at nine furlongs, Lamplighter
conceded him weight and beat him
with ease. The writer cannot consider
Kingston's chances very rosy,
Raceland, better known as "Old
Bones" is an aged gelding by Billet,
dam Calome. He will have following
il he starts, for he is game old horse
and will run out to his last ounce. His
best race last year was perhaps the Now
York Jockey Club Handicap, at mile
and quarter.
In this race no conceded weight to
Pessara and Russell. and beat them
cleverly in the fast time OF 2;07.
Bones" was good horse all season,
and his defeat OF Diablo at Elizabeth
this spring proves that he is in good
shape. In the writer's opinion he will
beat the other three Dryer candidates.
Russell Ia tive-year.old bay colt by
Eolus, dam Title Russell. He was
good third in last years Brooklyn ham
dicap and has fair chance TO be placed
on Monday He does not like over Il
mile, however, though he has run good
races ct the handicap distance. Fred
Littlefeld is authority for the state
ment that Russell worked mile and
quarter in 2il0 at the Maryland track
before he was brought to Gravesend.
Diablo is an aged horse, by Eolus,
dam Grace Darling. He is named US q
probable starter. but, in the writer's
opinion, Is outclassed. His record last
year Is only fair and his legs are regard
cd with suspicion. Patched up cripples
are not good horses to bet on in hard
race such as the Brooklyn handicap lie
bound to be. On his form at Elizabeth
this spring he is not entitled to any
consideration.
Leonawell is four-year-old bay colt,
by Leonatus, dam Nettie Howell. On
his last years record he does not seem
to class with either Lamplighter, Judge
Morrow, Banquet or Raceland. His
legs are also bad, but he has been work
ing we'll this spring and his trainer is
confident that the son Of Leonatus has
chance. He may have improved con-
siderably during the winter, and must
be Classed as dangerous, being in at ITO
pounds
Nomad, the fourth Of Mike Dryers
entrees, is q four.year.old bay colt, by
Wildidle, dam Amelia. He is colt Of
fair ability. His victories last year
were mainly in selling races, but in the
fall he showed stake form, and won sew
eral good races. He is said to have i'm
proved, and may be classed as having
fair outside chance.
Fidelio, a four.year-old bay colt by
The Ill. Used, dam Tillette, is essentially
dangerous because Of his mile in l:411
at Gutenberg few days ago. He will
go tho route, as will readily be seen by
reference to Lamplighter's form, as
printed above. Fidelio ran two cred
liable seconds to this great three.year-
old last year,
Charade, q four-year-old colt by
Charaxus, dam Ada Belle, looks almost
certain to be placed. He is in very
light C05 pounds), and his form last
spring shows that he is better in the
early months than in the fall. 1t was
his poor showing late in the season
that enabled him to get into the Han.
dlcap so light. His public form at
Elizabeth has been first class, and his
work since at Gravesend has pleased
his admirers greatly,
