Tn.DfY,S RIG CARD.
Crack Two-yenr-oids 20 Meet In the Great
American Stakes.

the most sincere regret was expressed at the
news Of John A. Morris's death, and the senti-
ment was universal that It would be very many
years before another man would invest as much
money in racing properties ms the dead New
Yorker has in the last ten years. The horses
owned by tho sons, Alfred Hennen and David
Hcnncn, were scratched from their immediate
engagements at Gravesend. aad none of them

The storm Of yesterday made the Brooklyn
Jockey Clubs course very muddy, but IL the sun
comes out warm this morning Mr.. Brush will
work wonders with tho sandy soil before the
middle of the afternoon. The chief event on the
card is the Great American Stakes for two
ycar-olds. for which there are thirteen nomina-
tions. Applegate, unbeaten since coming to
Gravesend. will undoubtedly be tho favorite
among tho bettors, but there are several dark

trials. Conspicuous among them the Keene
representative, Gold Crest, a smashing son Of
the English sire Bend Or: Frank Harris and
Palnerston. Alarum, the cok by Torso,
owned by Walter Rollins. who ran Joe
Rogers last week aud won so handily is another
clinker, while Handspring and Axiom have
both shown their quality in public. Anybody

feated Handspring for the Private sweepstakes

horse. The last time he started he was slow to
begin, and was last or next to last on the upper
turn. Isaac Murphy, who had the mount, said af
