be the star attractions VI the OPt"iha
day OF the Coney Island Jockey Clubs
spring meeting.
As matter Of course. the Suburban IS
the event around which the most interest
centres. The indications are that a small
field will do battle for the coveted prize.
Not more than seven horses will so to the
post. This will be one more than last
year. SO long as the cracks, Henry OF
Navarro and Clifford. are among the
contestants, the general public will be
glad IL the field Is small. 1t will dimin-
ish the chances Of crowding. and practl-
cally insure a true run race.
The race. from the outsiders point Of
view. has resolved itself into match
between Henry Of Navarro and Clifford
The Blemton stables candidate has done
everything in the way Of preparatory
work that has been asked OF him. The
acknowledged king received his hnal trial
on Saturday He was sent mile and a
half. He negotiated the distance In 2:3Sls.
and finished we'll within himself. Henry
Of NaVarre's mile and quarter was
rceled OF IN 209ll. Clifford was also asked
the final question on Saturday. lie went
over the Suburban course in 21Oi2. His
work. although a second slower than
Henry Of Navarres' was very much ad-
mired " the horsemcn located at the
Long Island track, who were all on hand

Keenan, went a mue with Henry OF
Navarro and then stopped. The mile was
covered in l:i2ik. This gives color 10 the
rumor that he was sent to the post to cut
out the pace for his mighty stable COM
paDion. At the eleventh hour ne was
Withdrawn.
CLIFFORD THE FAVORITE.
Henry OF Navarro has received careful
preparation. and although Clifford has
become favorite In the future books. II is
thought the former will be in greater
demand before the horses go TO the post
Clifford owes mis- favoritism chiefly 10 the
fact that Taral will ride him. Taral is
strong enough to do him justice.
The penalty incurred for winning the
Brooklyn Handicap twelve pounds made
Sir Walter, with l25 pounds on his back.
a doubtful candidate. lie Is In great
shape just now but his impost is en-
tirely too great for the game little fellow
10 hold his own with Henry of Navarro
or Clifford. He will not have the adj
vantage of Taral on his back, either.
IL the delay at the post is not too
great, and Clifford runs kindly. he viii
give Henry OF Navarro the fight of his
life tomorrow. II he cannot win easily,
he will make IT known that there has
been a horse-race Belmar, with 10
pounds up, Will take q lot of beating.
He is a thoroughly game horse, and. al
though he is not really at his best, he
VIII be very near the winner at the
finish. Simms has been engaged TO ride
"a lAa HgftguHca
TO get the last ounce out Of the Preak-
ness cHflidsrte. Clayton will pilot The
COmmOner II w. j. Wallace adheres TO
his intention and sends the horse 10 the
post This horse is outclassed. j. W.
Lakeland's Hornpipe Is regarded by many
Judges as having an outside chance. He
won the Brooklyn Handicap by fluke
and, although a victory for Lakeland
would be a popular event, and big
thing for the Brighton Beach contingent
it would be the height of folly to back
him to beat such horses as Henry Of
Navarro and Clifford. He may have a
chance to get third money, after a battle
with Belmlr and Sir Walter.
NANKIPOOH AND HANDSPRING.
Nankipooh has won race this season.
but his performance in the Brooklyn
Handicap would not warrant any ones
supporting him in the Suburban. The
company will. If there is not a glaring
reversal Of form, be entirely too good
for him.
Handspring, some say, may 20 TO the
post. Handspring is not within many
pounds Of his best form, and, besides, If
he were not stale, il would be asking too
much Of 3year-old to pick up ll5
pounds, and beat older horses Of such
calibre as Henry Of Navarro and Clifford.
The entries for all the events but the
NTH are light Only eight are colored
for the double event. and these do not
include Don De orc, George kessler,
Eldoion. or any Of the cracks. Octagon
Will carry the Blemton cOlOrs in place
Of Don de orc. Glimmering will be the
Erie stables standard-bearer. Marcus
DAILY will depend upon Scottish Chieftain,
and Trowbridge & Co. will send Lithos,
the Morris cast-off, TO the post.
FATALITY AT FORSYTH.
CHICAGO, June "a fatal accident
happened TO little Jockey Hathersoll In
the first race at Forsyth to-day. The
event was a selling affair. and Hathersoll
had the mount on Little Jimmy, one OF
Ed. Corrigan's horses. In rounding the
far turn for home, Big Strive, the
favorite. and Frank Jaubert wedged and
bumped Little Jimmy causing the horse
TO stumble and toss the boy over his head.

other horses He was removed 10 the
