Rowland lib Hindoonet. ..... .1Oe
"Ir Hamburg were only entered" said
his trainer, Charles Patterson, Il would
not have any fears as to the result He
mas always teen the better colt OF the two,
and, despite the number or starts he has
made recently, Is in condItion TO run the
race or bis life Heis the best race horse
1 ever saw, and l own Ornament"
''wnat do you think or tine Futurity, and
your chances or winning it?H asked the
reporter.
believe we have the best show TO get the
money Rowland has done all In his work
that 1 expected or him, and is in tfptop
condition, but l would feel a little more
con rldent ir he mad been Ia king part i'll a
rew races, instead OF going IL alone. One
or two starts IN good company before a
big race like the Futurity is OF the grea test
advantage to colt, and at the same time
gives one a good line on him In his only
races, which were at Memphis and Louis
vile, Howland waslevel-headed, game and
fast. know that he is still fast and level
headed, and believe he is also game. but

On Friday last Rowland was sent three
quarters In l:l5 Ia, the best time he has
yet made at the distance. Yesterday morn
ing he was out for 'breather," but
was not allowed to fully extend himself.
Several caught him IN II. Either Clayton
or Wilhite will ride him tomorrow. The
former piloted him to victory in all of his
spring races.
The second choice in the betting is
likely to be Thompsons' entry, The Hugue-
not not and Gibraltar The formeris brother
to Henry of Navarro, being by Knig ght of
Ellerslie, out OF Moss Rose. and has won
two races SO far A few days later he beat
several good ones at Saratoga, at five and
half furlongs in ITO Ia
Gibraltar is fresh In the public's mind
as the conqueror OF Frohman and varus in
Beach last Tuesday. He Won once at the
Saratoga meeting, defeating Sir Gamair,
Ben Doran, and others, and ran second TO
Bell z unch in a five furlong dashin :O2 1-2.
HJhe track is heavy he will bear watching.
Mike Dwyer Previous has not been per-
FORMING very satisfactorily or late, but it
Is said that Saratoga has done wonders
for him, and that he will be up to the form
displayed by him when he won the Great
American stakes at Gravesend. 1t is not
likely, however, that he will be able to
beat Rowland. He will have the advantage
or sims on his back, and is as game as q
bulldog.
PIaudit, the likely son or Himyara and
Cinderella, rs at tiravesend, butts repor ted
to be a little under the weather.

The Futurity Stakes for thoroughbred
youngsters is worth someth hing like x45, 900
the prasentseason. A field of feighteen may
do battle for the handsome prize over the
Futurity course, which is ITO feet short of
three-quarters of mile. Ninet y-threecol
and fillies from a. total entry list Of 691
are eligible to start, but 1t IS not probable
that greater numbert than eighteen willgo
to the post. The event is the feature of the
clubs autumn meeting opening day tomor-
row. 1t is the fouIth race on the program

The Futurity Stakes has been in existence
nine years. 1t was a sterling idea of the
late President Lawrence, of the Cone y Is
land Jockey Club, for it enlisted the atten-
tiOn OF breeders, owners and the public
alike from the very outset. 1t was popu-
lar stake, and has never fallen to the lot
OF a bad colt. The first running in 1888
called out such giants as Proctor Knott
and Salvador. The former was the o TO b
favorfte, and ne won. enrfching his owner,
Sam Bryan, with kaivator second and
liaIen third. Since that date the Futurity
has been won in turn by Chaos, Potomac,
His Highness, Morello, Domino, butterflies,
Requitat and Ogden. iPotomac's year the
stake was the richest, being worth $751;
