A $4,000 FUTURITY'
Fine Lot of Youngsters in Ii,
Richest Stake of the Year,
Chances Of the Various Candidate,
Considered.
The Race to Be Run at shsep,b.,s
Bay Saturday.

The chief topic in racing now I. a.
Futurity, the richest stake for two-v.
| olds in this country, which is To he
OH on tne track OF the Coney island
Jockey Club, at Sheepshead Raw
Saturday. In the last few years A.
contest has been looked upon as a fo,.
gone conclusion. Domino, MorelIe u,.
Histness and Potomac being the f.r.-
ties. and justly SO from their sbov,.S
during the months preceding the rac.
This year, however, 1t Is an entir,,.
different matter, for none of the vou.H
sters has shown anything like con,,'.
ent form, and one after another a..
| probable winner has been forced n a.
rear, while new candidate for a.
honors of two-year-old racing has cow
TO the front, only to be knocked d.
by new one. This has made tbe -
more open than in former year, 49,
there will be much guessing abou, az
| winner. ~s
In the beginning of the season n VIA.
,hought that Jacob Rupert had all tbs
stakes at his mercy with Gotham ana
Counter Tenor, for they had been nm.
ming half miles in trials in record tina
and they were undoubtedly as eoos
lockers as any that had been seen Il,
a and so years; But Gotham broke down,
amiss, leaving Manchester as the oniy|
one of the string to be depended upon
ne dld not show his form in exercIss|
or IN any of his races, and it looked liks|
hopeless case. Then Mr.. Rupert cor, !
Guided to change trainers, and hired
John Campbell to take care of the NM
IN hopes that the colts might be bend
ented' me horses were taken to sara1
toga; and all have rounded so that they
are In about as good condition as then
were in the early Spring.
| Gotham Is not in the Futurity, but IN q
week they have shown that they have
all their old speed. Last week Mani
chester ran six furlongs over the Sara
toga track in LA 1-2 and Counter Teno1
Lamly will have the mount on Manches1
| ter, while Garrison will ride Counted
| Tenor. Col. Rupert makes no secret o1
the fact that he hopes to win with the|
| latter.
Gideon e DAILY will be well Represented
by Butterflies, Walter and KeenanJ
and Mr.. Gideon thinks highest Of ~
FLY. She was as fast. II not faster, than|
but broke down. She has rounded toJ
however, and is now all right again, Al
though one race will probably again|
break her down. Walter has won a Ot|
consistent form, although in that nj
spect he has been in company with aid
the other youngsters. keenan, is the petI
of the stable, but he resembles III
locker and worker, but does not perform|
a. well as his trials would indicate he
capable of.
If Butterflies stands up until the DAY
for she is as fast a filly as has been|
seen in years. Walter has worked
three-quarters in company with Keenal
in lis at Saratoga. Butterflies wi,
have her final trial to-day. and I'd
time is not apt to be made public.
Edward Corrigan has Handsome and
Leo Lake in, but it is doubtful II eiths
goes to the post.
The only one from Marcus Days stab(
which has shown anything like FuturttI
form has been Sadie. but she is far bel
low the average from this stable, and thd
Tot may not be represented at the post
Pierre Lorillard's best Is Liza, and al
though she has run well In good company
for short distance, she does not seem d
be in the class with the others mentioned
Louis Stuart thinks he has In Monacd
a very high class animal, and will prob
ably send him to the post. although hi
has not done much in high-class CONF
pany.
The Magnetism colt. owned by PerrI
Belmont, is undoubtedly fast. but he II
bad actor at the post and uses up q
good deal of strength In fighting. LIS
Will go, however and should be promi1
nent for a mile at least.
Agitator is the only one of the Keene
string which is thought to be equal %
the emergency, and with Taral up tne
colt will not be neglected, as he will b
better ridden than any of the others
The Oneck Stable may have two M|
Its string. for Doggett has done fanE
we'll. California is the one on which
Mr.. Knapp pins his hopes, and she VII
make them all theink they have been Y
the races, for she is fast, and win
Doggett up she is pretty sure not "a
get much the worse of the start.
A lot of others of more or less speec
are among the likely starters, and Ino
most favored of the lot Is Connoisseuf,
which showed such a turn of speed y
Morris Park. Fred Littlefield Will zoe
him, and he will take some beating.
Utica runs to-day, and on his race de.
ponds his appearance on Saturday, y
he is the only one in the Dwyer-Crokes
string of much account. All.
The stake Is worth about $4,000 thu
year, and should provide a great con-
