FROHMAN IN THE ECLIPSE.


The spring meeting OF the Westchester Racing
Association AT Morris Park Will end tomorrow,
when the Belmont and five other races VIII be de-
cided. In the Belmont Octason and Ogden will
again. and perhaps Octagon may not have so
easy q victory as he had In the Withers. To the
winner of the Belmont will be given remarkably
handsome and artistic trophy In metal represent
ing Mr.. Belmont facing his noble horse Henry Of
Navarro. The artist who designed this memorial
slightly in error 10 the relative proportions
OF Mr. Belmont and Henry Of Navarro. Gazing at
the owner and at the famous racer as they stand
in silver. one might suppose that Mr. Belmont was
a Titan and that Henry Of Navarro was poo
pony. Mr.. Belmonts silk hat comes out we'll In
silver. and so do his features and his figure and
his clothes. But he is no. so tall the sculptor
seems 10 think he IS, while Henry OF Navarro is
really taller than this superb model Of the Sub
urban winner would lead observers to infer 1t IS
a charming novelty on the American turf, this
presentation OF silver statues OF owner and his
horse the plate 70 be added TO a stake. No one
can desecrate this gift by filing It with champagne.
The truth is. there's nothing TO fl. The choicest
present which the Emperor OF Germany or the
Gar of Russia can give as mark Of the warmest
affection and highest esteem is oil portrait or
s. bronze bust Of the Emperor the Car. Mr..
Belmont is both the Kaiser and the Car Of the
American turf Therefore II IS highly appropriate
that he should select full-length silver statue
of himself and silver model of Henry the Mighty
as the suitable memorial for the Belmont OF 1887.
The subjects OF the Kaiser or of the Gar might be
conten;ed with a hah-length picture on canvas or
a bust in bronze OF the exalted autocrat OF Ger
many or Of the Great White Despot Of the Rus
sias Free Americans want nothing sawed-off or
half-sze And the winner of the Belmont Will get
