BROOKLYN HANDICAP.
Nine safe Horses VIII Probably Start
TO-Day-CIinord Is Fnvorffe.
NEW YORK, June 3.-To-morrow will be
the tenth running of the Brooklyn handi-
cap at a mile and a quarter over the
Gravesend track. and while the field is not
likely to be large, nine horses being en-
tered, according to the list given out to-
night, there ought to be a good race. The
probable starters. weights and Jockeys are:s
Clifford. Us CA. Clayton); keenan,. 121 (Grif-
dn); Counter Tenor. 120 Hamilton); Sir
Walter, lib TaraD; Nanki Pooh. 1l2 Oog-
getD; Hornpipe. Ill Qamle); st. Maxim,
los Sims; Lake Shore. 103 ct. Sloan); Pal
adm. 80 tO'Leary).
The list is smaller than had been expected,
Tor several have fallen by the wayside ow-
ing 20 lack or condition. the chief one
among the missing being Henry Of Navarro.
who was scratched a day or two ago, to
the great disappointment of his owner. This
leaves Clnord as the favorite and a good
favorite he should be on his two races at
Morris Park, when he ran so well. Hand
spring Is another of the missing ones in
spite OF the fact that his owner said yester-
day that he would surely go to the. post,

has any business in the race. Nanki Pooh
he was considered to have a fine chance
when the weights were first sent out. Lake
Shore and Paladin are likely TO be the ex-
IRENE outsiders in the betting.
Only once in the history of the stakes has
II been won by a favorite, and many are
figuring on that. forgetting the fact that the
race has heretofore been the first of the
year In the East and al of the starters
have been sent to the post for the first
time since winters rest, with only their
work tc guide men in their estimates. This
year they have been tried and their capacity
