NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-It is a num-
Der of years since the futurity stakes for
tWo-year-olds, to be run on the opening
day of the fall meeting of the COney ISL
and Jockey Club at Sheepshead Bay
(to-morrow) has been so open. The pr1n-
cipaI reason for this is the non-appear-
ance of Hamburg, the greatest of the
two-year-olds. This colt is not eligible.
His stable companion, Rowland, Will
probably be the favorite.
Next in favor will be the Thompson
string, Gibraltar, which did so well in
the mud few days ago at Brighton
The Huguenot, a full brother to Henry
of Navarro, whom he greatly resembles,
is also in from the same string. Good
Judges think the stable may run one,
two. Plaudit is another colt of which
much is expected.
Mauriel and Cockrobbin of the Keene
string have a lot of followers, the latter
for his race at Brighton a few days ago,
when with a light weight he was barely
beaten by Demagogue, after being prac-
fically left at the post and running
around a large field. Demagogue Is
favored for his performance at that
time
Gideon's Frohman has been running
some bad races of late, and will be prob
ably neglected. Lydian has done good
work against moderate class animals.
Amazon is a practically unknown quail
ity from the Marcus Daily string. Miss
Tenny is a good little f1lly, but accord
ing to those who have watched her, she
is outcIassed. Hindoolet is not up TO
such a race. Galladay is owned by Me-
Cafferty, and may or may not run.
Handban is not of high class, and Great
Bend. brother to Potomac, has been
great disappointment, running in front
when least expected and in the rear
when thought to have good chance TO
win.
The weights are notsligh this year, so
none of them will have to carry too
much. and there should be a grand race
for the rich stakes.
