PLENTY OF FIRST-CLASS SPORT PROM
IsED THE SPECTATORS.

HENRY or NAVARRO COUNTER TENOR. RUB1CON
AND NANKI POOH AMONG THE ENTRIES.
new era on the turf will begin at Morris Park
to-day, where the legitimate racing season OF 1876
will open when the bugle calls the horses to the post
for the first race. The racing card promises 10 fur
nish the spectators with rst-class sport that
should attract thousands OF lovers of racing to wit
ness the contests The Juvenile Stakes should cause
large amount OF speculation. as the ten youngsters
engaged have proved satisfactory in their training
and their trials at speed. The metropolitan Handi-
cap is the feature OF the card
Henry of Navarro is almost certain TO start. which
IN itself should attract hosts of racegoers who pre-
fer to good horse take walking exercise rather
than to witness low-grade horses race. Dorian,
who has been doing excellent work is also cand-
date from the Bemton Stables. Colonel Jacob Rup-
perts Counter Tenor also has many admirers. VINO
will accept any reasonable odds against his chances
Sir Waiter Is likely TO be well backed. as that hon.
est, sturdy racer has done all that has been asked
Of him in his work. and has done It well. Belmar is
a doubtful starter Mr.. Galway told Philip j.
Dwyer Saturday that Belmar would not start
Hornpipe is almost certain to be supported should
he face the starter.
Rubicon and ST. Maxim have run fast trials. They
and Nank Pooh (who is not as sound as his trainer
would like TO have him) are the horses that Will
make up the field The foregoing Tot at the weights
should certainly make highly interesting contest
sized fields likely to the post. Society is
almost certain to be present In force.
There is much regret expressed at the unavoidable
absence of Perry Belmont in Europe Mr.. Belmont
desired TO remain in this country during the racing
season. but he forced TO go to Europe ac-
count OF pressing affairs Everybody who desires TO
support racing should be present II the weather Is
pleasant many fashionable parties Will be driven to
