THE MOST NOTABLE ONES

Other Flyers.
The following Is a short review by
the 2-year-old performers Of the past
season:
It may be said at the outset that
they average much higher than did
those OF last year. and there is every
prospect of their developing into g.
year-olds that will furnish some great
contests in the various stake events.
The most notable performers of the
past season were Reauital. Applegate,
Handspring. Ben Brush. One Love,
Hastings. Crescendo and Hazlet.
Reouitals most meritorious perform
ances were his wins OF the Futurity
and Flatbush stakes. In the Futurity
he carried lis pounds. winning handily
by about two lengths, Crescendo being
second with ia pounds. while Hand

pounds. APPLICABLE. 122. and Hastings.
lis pounds. also ran From Applegate
Requital was consequently in receipt
of seven pounds. Handspring FIVE and
Hastings three. but the decisive way
in which Reuuitai beat them showed
that the result would have been the
same had he carried 122 pounds. Still,
10 would have been a much more salts
factory test had he shouldered 125
pounds and won. 1t Is however, doubt
full II he could have given the sturdy
Californian eleven pounds that day as,
although he won by two lengths, he
had nothing left. and Crescendo
seemed to be going decidedly the
stronger of the pair at the finish.
Applegate and Hastings were then
both decidedly off. and probably not
within fourteen pounds of what they
were in the latter part of June; while
as for Handspring. he was kicked at
the post. which initiated against his
chances. And. In addition to this,
Crescendo had been a very sick colt.
Requital's Futurity performance will
therefore not stand comparison with
that of His Richness or Domino, nor
even that of the brilliant cripple But
terfiies.
Reouitars next and last race was
i'm the Flatbush stakes. at seven fur
longs. and this was his most brilliant
performance. He carried lis pounds
to Ben Brush's 10 pounds. and he won
as he pleased In the extraordinarily
fast time of 1:26. pulling up a mile
in LAO.
Eugene Leigh and Brown Dick were
both of the opinion before the race
that the gallant Ben was so good that
day that no colt OF his age could give
him an ounce. Certainly the pace Ben
Brush set for the first FIVE furlongs
showed that they were not far wrong.
Since then the game son of Bramble
has demonstrated that he Is OF the
very high-class caliber. giving weight
and a beating ITO everything of his age.
Taking a line on the result of the
Flaebush stakes certainly points to
Requital as the star 2-year-old per-
former OF 1895 in point of actual merit,
as well as in the amount won to his
credit. AS stated above. Apologize
and Hastings were both out OF form
in the fall. Still. II Is doubtful II at

bush stakes.
The same applies to Handspring.

that either will prove stayers.
Crescendo. in spite of his setback,
showed good form, and II he had not

oped into the best 3-year-old OF the
lot, but a colt cannot be hammered
at when weak in his 2-year-old career
carrying and staying abilities year
later. No matter how strong his con-
stitution NAV be.
Hazlet is held safe by Requital, Ben
Brush, Handspring and One 1 Love,
but this bloodlike son of Sensation and
Amy should develop into much bet

could give him weight and a beating
