TRIALS OF CANDIDATES
Horsemen have noted with much inter
est the trials Of i'uturity candidates du-
ring the past few days Kequital. one
of Dave Gideon's entries, has shown the
best work Of any OF the candidates. He
is credited with six furlongs in 1:lj fiat.
Hastings, the colt which cost August
Belmont. $500 at the recent dissoution-
sale Of Gideon * DAILY. has shown the
distance two seconds slower. Hastings,
however, is a poor work horse. and turf
men attach no importance TO this slow
trial.
Handspring and Axiom, Phil Dwyer s

with Taral up. is said To have done the

Carthy pair-Applegate and Wlshard-did
not perform up to expectations.
Appegate has apparently lost his
speed. In his final trial yesterday he
ran very much like "A prohibitiVe favOrite.
He has no speed. His stable companion,
Wishard did but very little better.
II seems well-nigh impossible for APP

severe spring campaign, and he trained
