TO-DAY'S FUTURITY.
NEW YORK, August 23.-The prospects
for a fine day for the Futurity were ex-
ceedingly poor tonight, and all OF the
horsemen who were seen expected that
the existing strong northwest winds ana
heavy clouds would bring rain. and
plenty of it, for the rich stake tomorrow
for the 2-year-olds, I'm which about $4,000
will 20 TO the winner. on the other
hand. the real lovers Of the sport longed
for fine day and no fiukes. so that the
best horse might win. although IL was
conceded that Hamburg could easily beat
any Of the lot down in the great stake
of tomorrow but unfortunately Hamburg
will not run.
The list Of starters, with their weights
and Jockeys. is as follows: Gibraltar lls'
Scherrer; The Huguenot 49, William Mar
tin; PAlyouette, 1l8. Clawson; Briar Sweet
us. Taral; Grand Sachem, 1913 Ham; ANA
zonian. 1l3. -; UEel, u.s. Sloan; Cock
Robin. l0S, II. Martin; Frohman. IFS, Per-
klns; Plaudit, Us, Beauchamp; Previous,
ZIG. Sims; Central Trust. rs. Hewitt;
Gala Day, los, McCafferty; Rowland, 10,
VIII White; Arquebus, l05, Doggett, DEM
agogue, ll5, ; Handsel. los. Clayton;
Ruby Lips 100, II. l.. Lewis.
1t was the general opinion OF all that
never before in the history Of the Flu
turity was it so open a race, and, further,
that II Hamburg were there the others
might as well stay in their stables, as
far as winning was concerned.
THE FAVORITE.
AS to the favorite among the betting
men. it looked very much like Gibraltar
or Rowland, especially as the latter was
said to have improved UNNECESSARILY In
the last few weeks. The good race or
Gibraltar at the Brighton track last week
made him a strong choice although 1t
was argued that that was but half-mile
race, and 1t had yet TO be determined
what she could do over the route. Uriers
great speed In the spring was undoubted,
and his trials have been entirely salts
factory to his trainers, and then, with
Sloan up. he Is sure to be respected.
Cock Robin, the lightweight OF the
Keene string, IS good just now. and his
record was such a good one that he was
in great favor.
The DAILY trio-Bras Sweet Grand
Sachem. and Acknowledgement said TO be
in prime condition, and with Taral on
Briar Sweet she will certainly have many
hackers, particularly as she is fun
sister to DR.. Hasbrouck, one Of the great
est sprinters In years.
Frohman is very doubtful starter. Mr..
Gideon saying his work was not salts
factory enough One Of the horses re-
spected by many IL Previous. who never
performs twice alike. but where he has
been in the race with the quality has
always performed we'll
Plaudit, another western representa-
tive, comes East with a good reputation,
and. I'm the opinion Of his trainer he has
a rare chance 10 win. As TO Gala Day,
which McCafferty will ride a overweight.
there will be much curiosity. and Argue
bus, Hansel. and Ruby Lips are sure 10
meet with much support. In fact. the
layers OF odds are likely TO have their
hands full, even IL only a dozen OF the
lot 90 10 the post. and that number is
certain 10 appear. while the chances are
that nearly all will 20.
