THE BELMONT STAKES
Much talk is heard among turfmen as 10 the
Belmont Stakes. which will be run at Morris Park
on Tuesday. June . the closing day Of the meeting.
Philip T. DIVER and his friends feel sure that
Handspring will get the Belmont. August Bel
mont and his friends expect Hastings TO be the
prize report flew out the easy air that Mr.
Dwyer was eager TO bet $4,000 on Handspring ior
the Belmont or he would b. glad 10 make ma'ch
with Handspring against Hastings for sooVo MI
Dvyer said yesterday that ne had been misunder-
STOOD He thought that Handspring cou.d oefea'
Hastings in the Belmont. and said that If any one
cared 10 bet even money on Hastings against Hand
spring in the Belmont he would be wiling to be:
any reasonable sum on Handspring 1t IS Mr..
Dwyer's present intention TO start Handspring IN
the Belmont on Tuesday. June 2. and also In the
Brooklyn Handicap on tie opening day Of the
Brooklyn Jockey Club meeting. Thursday, June !.
II the track is in good condition both days and
the weather is favorable The Brooklyn Handicap
is $1,000 this year The Belmont IS only
S,O0o. But Hastings is not in the Brooklyn Handi-
cap, and Mr. Dsyer saws he s ready TO settle the
question whether Handspring Is better than Hast
;nss In the Belmont. which is at mile and three
furlongs. That is far enough to try the staying
power as well the speed OF both colts. But II
Hastings should ou;run Handspring easily in the
Belmont or If Handspring has 80 hard a job to beat
Hastings in the Belmont that the race may put
him on the shelf for time, Handspring Will not
Start in the Brooklyn Handicap.
Now, that Is the square. straight, solid. frozen
truth in the Handspring Hastings affair, and II
comes from Philip j. Dryers own lips. The Trib-
rne has whole orchard Of cherry trees and a
all over the country can make up their minds that
ii inls article gives them the preGse truth about
the Brooklyn. no matter what any other news
sir Belmont was at Morris Park in the after
noon He was busy with urgent financial analrs
oi international Importance But he went 10 the
rack early yesterday morning. and he saw his
uainer. John J. Hyand. work Hastings one mile
ana half Mr.. Hyland intended that Griffin should
send Hastings over the distarce in about 2:A5;
Brt Hastings was full OF running. and he worked
N .s with such marvellous case and with SO
muen In hand tina; every trainer and every turf
hpr who saw the work filled with admira-
uon and anazement.
