of the Gideon 6 Daly stable. Hastings fell sick after ho became Mir. Belmont's property and did not recover from the effects of his illness at any time last year. But he Is now in superb condition and is trained by that wonderfully suc- oessful and able trainer, J. J. Hyland. Requital is trained by James Rowe, who was brilliantly successful as q train er to the senior August Belmont when Potomac and La Tosca were dazzling 2-year-old stars. Handspring is trained by Frank McCabe.
 The meeting of these three colts in the Belmont will undoubtedly prove to be one of the most stirring and noteworthy turf battles of the season of 1896. Ow- ing to various circumstances and occur rences last year the relative merits of these three colts were never fully and completely tested The Belmont will af- ford the best possible opportunity for deciding which one of these three is the champion 3-year-old colt of 1896, and the struggle between them is already looked forward to with the liyeliest and most eager anticipation.
 In New York state there can be no ad- vance betting on the Belmont except in the form of private wagers. In the clubs, hotels and other resorts of the city dis cusson as to the qualities, speed and staying powers of Requital, Handspring and Hastings is even at the present date of a highly animated and earnest sort. In fact, turfmen ill all parts of the coun try are impatient to learn which one of the three is superior to the others. There has been some betting Tn Baltimore and other cities outside of the Empire State upon the Metropolitan, Brooklyn and Suburban handieaps
 1t is certain that, as time goes on and the date of the Belmont approaches, the excitement over the question as to the relative superiority of Requital, Hand spring and Hastings will become much more expressing and absorbing There is every probability that tho contest for the Belmont will be turf battle that will finger long in the memories of all beholders and will take conspicuous place ill the annals of the American turf.
 The partisans of the three colts will have a great deal to talk about and specu- late upon until after the race is actually decided. New York Tribune

GREAT TURF BATTLE.
goRsgMEN EAGERLY LOOKING FOR
 WARD TO THE BELMONT.

Eager Discussion as to the Merits or Re
 ouital, Handspring and Hastings the
 Three Favorites- Likely to Prove an Ex-
 citing Raoe-wilI Be Run Early In June.
 Racing men in all parts of the coun- try are taking a special and exceptlonal interest in the Belmont stakes for 8year-olds, which will be run at Morris park, New York city, early ill June. Among the colts which arc expected to start in the Belmont are Requ1taI, Handspring and Hastings. Colonel Thompson bought Requital at the auc- tion sale of David Gideon's horses last autumn and paid big price for him. Reouital was not only the winner of the great Futurity stakes, but also of the Flatbush stakes at seven furlongs, and proved clearly that he was a colt Of remarkable merit, speed and staying power. The sons of Colonel Thompson will keep up the racing stable ln the most generous and liberal manner, and Requital will have great number of friends and admirers when he goes to the post for the Belmont.
 Handspring is the property of Philip J. Dwyer. He ran number of excellent races last year, but was unfortunate in the Futurity. His stable companion, Axiom, kicked him at the post, intiict- ing such injuries that Handspring was wholly unable to extend himself ill the contest.
 Hastings belongs to August Belmont, the president of the Jockey club MT. Belmont purchased this magnificent sor of Spendthrift at the breaking mp sale
