BIG HANDICAP.
CONTINUED from Page i.)

McClelland thinks that Henry of Navarro
is a certainty in spite OF the fact that he
Is a three year-old.
Taylor says that AJAX has no chance OF
winning whatever, and that Clifford Will
quit as soon as the stretch Is reached. And
that Is the way the stories go.
Ii is conceded the most open race since
the handicap was first run and the record
may go when the victor passes the line.
Heavy Bookmaking.
The record of bookma kers was broken,
for 1i2 were doing business, the largest
previous record being 100, and long before
the time for posting the odds arrived
the betting ring was thronged 80 that
moving about was difficult.
The bookmakers begin laying odds on
the handicap at Ills as follows: Dir
Walter $3.50 and even for place; Clifford
$3.50 and even; Banquet SO aud ~;
Don Alonzo, 20 and 8; DIR. Rice, o and 2;
Herald. 40 and II; Ajax, s and 8;
Sport, IL and 4; Diablo, 90 and 10;
Comanche, 40 and 10; Copyright, 40 and
y; Bitten, 100 and 35; Lowlander, 40 and
1e; Loantaka, 90 and 20: Bassettlaw, 30
and ~; Henry of Navarro, and 2;
Tho jockeys names went up on the bull
letin board at 20 minutes to 2 O'Clock
and then the track was well crowded.
No seats were left In the grand stand and
the lawn was thickly covered with people.
1t was'estimated that at least 80, 900 peo-
pie were present and the trains were
coming in rapidly, adding largely
carriages and not an inch OF space WIS
left along the rail. 1t was surely the
largest crowd ever seen at the handicap.
1t is not believed that any sensational
arrests will be made to prevent the bet
ting, or Interfere with the race.
