GRAVEsEND, L. l.. April 25.-Ths
track was in excellent condition to.
day. and the thoroughbreds were sent
along at a lively clip. Some sharp
moves were made. and as Handicao
Day draws nearer, 1t is becoming EVIL
dent that the great event will be q
very open race.
The Dwyer-Croker horses were sent
along In splendid fashion. Messrs.
Dwyer and Croker watched the work
Of the horses to-day from the eighth
pole.
Don Alonzo and Banquet were the
first pair to work.
Take them n mile and a quarter in
22o," were Campbelrs instructions to
the boys.
Don Alonzo. however, was too full Of
run to be restrained. and after they
broke at the half-mile pole, the first
eight was timed In .13 IL, the quarter In
.26, three-eighths in .39 Ia, half in SO,
five furlongs in 1.O7, and the six furlongs
in 1.19 "a. Then 1t became evident that
the horses were going too fast, and, in
obedience TO a signal, a wrap was
taken. Seven furlongs were travelled
in LA 1-2, the mile in las "a. a mile and
a furlong in 2.O3, and the full distance
In 2l7. The horses were pulling up in
the last furlong, and II was apparent
that the work could easily have been
done in 2.l4 or better.
The Don ia certainly in great shape.
and he takes the turns better than for
merry. When an Evening World" re-
porter remarked this fact to Mr.. Dwyer,
the latter said:
his mouth is in better shape. He had a
very hNd mouth. and called in a veter-
mary dentist. He looked the horse

Sports mouth was very, bad also. and
