BROOKLYN HANDICAP.
List of Flyers With Weights to Figure in the Run for the Great Stake
 Pick Your Choice.

New York, May 29.-The chief topic in sporting circles here is the Brooklyn handicap to be run at GraVesend on Monday. As far as can be learned there is every probability of a dozen starters and the owners and trainers profess to be well satisfied with the conditions of their charges. The top weight, how ever will be an absentee, for the Thomp- sons have concluded not to start Re quital, his work since his defeat by Handspring being very unsatisfactory The reports that Handspring would be among the missing were vigorously de- nied by P. J. Dwyer, who said that this . colts condition was entirely satisfac- tory, his last work being the best Of the year and Sims will pilot him through, MT. Dwyer thinks, even if he is top weight Belmar is next in weight and his movements Wednesday last were so satisfactory that he will be a gerat fa- Vorite with many although his stable companion, the Winner, who ran so good a race in the Metropolitan handicap, is thought to be the better of the pair M. F. Dwycr will enter Harry Reed and Ben Elder and they are absolutely fit. The former, however, is in highest favor among those watching the early morning gallops. Sir Walter is sure to be pop- ular favorite. He is the most unfortu- nate of horses, however, always being beaten by just a head. Maurice will have a starter in all proba bility, but his racers at Morris Park have been in bad shape. Lake Shore will go and will doubtless have a good following on past work. If all the reports are correct the race will be the most sensational in it's history. The entries and weights iol- low.

THE ALASKAN DOG.
Cruei Treatment Is the Reward for

Cruei Treatment In the Reward for
Their Affection and IntcIiigence.
The Alaskan dog is almost human IN
intelligence. lie weighs about 100
pounds. Heavily laden he will travel as
many as co miles day.
With 20 dogs in team no two of
them are in straight line from the
driver. When unhitched for the night
they pile upon the first blanket that is
thrown upon the snow, and there they
stay. When you crawl into your sleep
ing bag and pull robe over it the dog
will get under the robe. Unless you are
careful he win be inside of the bag in
the morning. Their endurance is phe-
nomenal, and they are capable of strong
affection. They are great fighters
n traveller who recently returned
from Alaska says of the treatment ac-
corded these faithful animals:
The whip that is used on them is the
cruelest thing of the kind known to
man. Thirty feet in length and two
inches thick near the short handle, it
has lash ten feet long that cuts like a
knife. The Russian linout isn't in it.
When the dog is struck you hear a
sharp yelp, and then your sleigh whirls
past bit of fur or possibly piece Of
bloody skin lying on the snow"
