Bcndigo was one Of the few animals known on
the English turf who kept improving until his sew

doubtless have attributed to his never having been
stripped in public until his third year. NO inner
sounder or more courageous animal than Bcndlso

Entries for the stakes advertised by the Monmouth
Park Association coming in rapidly from all parts
Of the country. Men never before heard of In the
East sending In nominations OF good horses. Gen
eral Manager Croft informed the writer yesterday
that he afraid be would have 10 build number
Of new stables as the demand for boxes already
far exceeds the supply. Monmouth has stable room
enough for 1856 horses, and 300 will probably
be within the grounds when the season begins Al

1t is probably owing the closing of the poorooms
that there is not a greater interest in the spring
handicaps. 1t may be- however. that the people OF
this country will never take as kindly 10 ante

Signor Tagiapetra, who has followed all the horses
In the United states these ave or SIX years, has ideas
on the Brooklyn Handicap and pleased 10 contribute
them to this column in the following language
40 my opinion i think the chances are very
limited. do think that more than half dozen
stand chance to win the handicap Now look mere ::
We have, first, Lamplighter OF course, summing up
all his performances of last year, should say he
has great chance. On the other hand, should
Judge that Judge Morrow has really grand chance.
I do think that really there IS horse who could
give him nine pounds or course, Lampigher runs
with JIG pounds IA In :O9 IA, beating StTath
meath and Banquet, Banquet carrying l22. lhis
year Banquet carries 1913 against Lsmpaghter 10.
But Lamplighter, he Is much stronger horse Than
BANQUET. For It / account that he should defeat
BANQUET easily Now so far as Judge Morrow goes
he ran Is in 80 with l10 pounds Or course
he did not have anything TO beat-The Pepper ana
Hell Gate. But, again, he won the same Brooklyh
Handicap carrying 1l6, running the distance IN

Lampigher considering the former carrying IL. ana
the latter l16 In my opinion think he should win
the Handicap with Russell at his heels, and Lamp
lighter TO take the third place do not believe tha'
ali the horses entered will run for the great prize
/ think that Long Beach. Hume, Rudolph, Pckpockei
Recare, Wildwood Charade, Cassius. fideilo lem
and La Tosca will sure be scratched. They have no
chance whatever land their appearance viii only ado

Will have a chance to be cut loose and win: for
