Amgng these Don Alonzo, Copyright and Di-
ablo are most likely to scratch Clifford did the
best work to-day, for he covered mile in good
style in 81 and seemed TO move with more Tree
dom than ne has shown since his arrival in the
East lie Is pretty safe to so to the post favor
ite although IL will be with the public money,
the trainers and those who practically live at
the tracks are got in favor of this western rep
resentative. IL Was thought to-day by many
that he looked a rrire broken and did not sweat
as a horse Of roOd condition after gallop OF
that nature. His chances ought to be good,
however, for he has had the advantage of racing
this year which note of the Others have, while
against that is the foci that he has come here a
little later than he saopld, according to the ma
1ority Of horsemen-
worked mile In Isl, the last furlong taking
12le seconds
Banquet and Don Alonzo eailoped two miles at
a two-minute gait, and both may be seen at the
post, but the latter is not considered TO be likely
to be much more than h pacemaker for Banquet
unless he has changed materially from his con-
dition on Sunday.
Sport had his last exercise to-day on the road
to Bayonne, and he is still bit on the side
His owners are still hoping that he will make up
his mind 10 run when he gets TO the post with
the lot and that he will repeat his work of last
Spring, when he defeated some of the horses
who are with him tomorrow. Sport, however,
Is an eccentric animal, and may not even be per-
suaded TO try.
Dablo was out with Pessara, and last years
winner moved we'll, although he was not tried
to any extent He does not appear TO be at all
lame, but he will not have the services of Taral
this year to rate him along ut a comfortable pace
and then seizing the opportunity jump into the
lead at a time when 1t is too late to catch him;
His victory a year ago is looked on as good
deal of huke, and few expect to see II repeated,
although those who were fortunate enough TO
have something on him then will not let him
run loose this time.
Bassetlaw was out for easy gallop, but did
not show up as well as was expected, and while
Matt Allen thinks that he will get the biggest
part of the money few agree with him.
DIR. Rice at the track for n quiet canter
and then went back TO Sheepshead Bay for
breather of mile. which he did in good shape.
Taral is confident of winning, and thinks that he
has the best of tho lot to ride
Comanche was worked a mile and a-half at an
easy clip and Mclaughlin thinks the winner
will be munching oats in his stable tomorrow
night
Lowlander, the winner of last years Suburban,
went for gallop over the same course as Sport,
satisfactory to Lowe, the horse is expected TO do
better in the race
Bliizen got a breather, but his owner is hoping
for rain as the only chance for him.
Copyright did mile in l:50, and seemed to be
a little short of work. Herald went a mile at a
little better than 2-minute clip, and Long
backed to a man by the Monmouth Park contin-
gent.
Henry of Navarro was not out, his owner being
content with his work of Saturday Navarre's
work was good in some respects, but not so sat
factory as some of his previous gallops He still
holds favorite with good many judges, how
the smallest end OF the money.
De Lacy is bound TO make trouble IL he can,
and has sworn out warrants against the officers
OF the club for maintaining lottery, claiming
the putting up of $500 by each owner to be won
by one horse is a lottery within the meaning Of
the law. 1t is probable that arrests will be
made, but they will have little effect upon the
meeting
