Exercising the Candfdates.
No fast work was done this morning
Suburban. although most of the horses
were out for general exercise. Sir Walter
did not arrive at the track until o'clock
and was sent Immediately to his stable
for a rest as he had been travelling from
Jerome Park good part of the night.
There was much discussion among train
ers over his late appearance, and none
thought that the horse was benefited by
his journey so late in the day.
Ramapo and Kinglet were out early
and were sent around the track slowly,
both being on edge and Hyland not
thinking it necessary to breeze them.
Henry of Navarro was taken out and
sent the circuit of the track after which
he got a pipe opener" through the
stretch at a fair rate of speed. Pick
pocket was sent out.for long galIop,
but did not do any fast work. Stowaway
galloped slowly and breezed through
the stretch, but did not seem to move
well enough for the company he will
have to keep.
The other candidates were at the
Gravesend track. Don Alonzo and Ban
Quet were moved around the course
slowly. Comanche did not need any
thing more than gentle exercise, for his
race of yesterday was good enough to fit
him for tOday's contest Sport had an
easy move. Charade did his final work
yesterday, and only cantered today while
King Lee had smart gallop.
Trainers regard Ramapo as having the
best chance of winning, with Henry of
of Navarro a close second choice. Had
Sport good jockey he would be con-
sidered with more favor. Pickpocket
has good following. who think every
thing depends the start.

The afternoon sun beat down merci-
lessly on the track and the breeze which
had been pleasantly cool all the morning
died out. 1t was hot everywhere In
