NEW YORK. May 15.-Almost as many
people as were at the track Sunday were
on hand yesterday to watch the last ap-
pearRnces Of the horses engaged in the
Brooklyn handicap, to be run at Graves
end this afternoon.
The list OF probable starters, as far as
can be learned this forenoon, is as follows:
Clifford, Sir Walter, Ajax, Banquet, Don
Alonzo, Sport, Diablo, Bassetlaw, DR..
Rice, Comanehe, Lowlander, Bitten,
Copyright, Henry OF Navarro, Herald,
Marshall, Long Beach. Among these Don
Alonzo, Copyright and Diablo are most
likely 10 scratch.
Clifford did the best work yesterday,
for he covered mile in good style in 1:44,
and seemed to move with more freedom
than he has shown since his arrival in the
east. He is pretty safe to go to the post
favorite, although il will be with the pub
lie money, as the trainers and those who
practically live at the tracks are not in
favor of this western representative 1t
was thought by many that he looked
trihe tucked up and did not sweat as a
horse in good condition should after
gallop Of that nature. His chances ought
to be good however for he has had the
| advantage of racing this year, which none
of the others have, while against that is
the fact that he has come here a little
later than he should.
Ajax was out with Garrison in the sad
die, and worked a mile in 1.51, the last
furlong taking 1214 seconds,
Banquet and Don Alonzo galloped two
| miles at a two minute gait, and both may
| be seen at the post, but the latter Is not
considered likely to be much more than a
pacemaker for Banquet unless he has
| changed materially from hi condition on
| Sunday
Sport had bis last exercise on the road
| to Bayonne. His owners are still hoping z
that he will make up his mind to 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 today. Sport, however, is
an eccentric animal and may not even be
| persuaded to try.
Diablo was out with Pessara and last
years winner moved well, 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 at a comfortable pace and then,
seizing the opportunity, jump into the
lead at a time when it is too late to catch
him. His victory year ago is looked on
as good deal of fluke, and few expect
to see 1t repeated.
Bassetlaw was out for an easy gallop
but did not show up as well as was eX
pected, and while Matt Allen thinks that
IL L - Al,
few agree with him.
Dr. Rice was at the track for a quiet
canter and then went back to Sheepshead
Bay for the breather of mile, which hi
did in good shape. Taral is confident of {
winning, and thinks that he has the bes
of the lot to ride.
Comanche was worked a mile and q
half at an easy clip, and Mclaughlin
thinks the winner will be munching oats
in his stable tonight.
Lowlander, the winner of last year,
Suburban, went for a gallop over tn
same road as Sport, and while his work o
Sunday was by no means satisfactory t,
Lowe, the horse is expected to do bette
in the race.
Bitten got breather, but his owner i
hoping for rain SIS the only chance fol
him.
Copyright did a mile in 15O, and seemed
to be little short of work.
Herald went a mile at little bette
than two minute clip, and Long Beacl
did the same thing. The former will b
backed to man by the Monmouth Parl
, contingent.
i Henry of Navarro was not out, his owne
being content with his work of Saturday
Navarro still holds the favorite with
good many judges
} DeLacey is bound to make trouble il h
