tered for the Twin City Handicap-sev-
eral Attractions for the Rest of the Week.
Few OF the Labor Day sporting attractions
can compare with the racing card arranged for
sheepshead Bay this afternoon. Such big
events on the schedule as the free lightweight
handicap. the Autumn Stakes. the Twin City
Handicap. and the westbury Steeplechase are
set for decision, and the fields in each Instance
are up to the average in both quantity and
quality.
Abnormal interest will be aroused By the
Autumn Stakes II Jean Bereaud goes to tho
post. The race is worth $1,000 and will be
run over the Futurity course There are seven
promising youngsters slated to meet the erst-
while star Of tho two-year-old division. and all
but one has an advantage Of from seven to
twenty-one pounds In the weights. The ex-
ception is W. 0verton. who 10 set to carry the
same impost as Jean Bereaud. By q singular
coincidence this pair were the contenders for
the inRlorious position OF last place in the
Flatbush Stakes last Saturday. The riders Of
both colts asserted that they had been inter
fered with In the scramble for good positions
after fagfafl. Hence the general anxiety to
see them join issue with the others to-day.
There is ample room on the Futurity course
for eight runners. and every chance OF a true
run test Of merit. Outside the probability OF
having Saturdays mystery cleared UP. to-
days race should be q spectacular treat with
such asplrants In the field as Scannell. Rhine
lander. Hapsburg. His Lordship, Capt. sigs-
bee, and Marblehead.
The Twin City Handicap. Of S.. 1000. at one
mile and q quarter, promises to be a sensa-
tional struggle between six Of the best stay
ers in training. The Friar occupies the post
OF honor with 125 pounds up. while Pink Coat,
Ben Holiday. White Frost. Mirthful and
Sir Vassar are in receipt Of substantial con-
o~essions. Each of the half dozen engaged has
shown marked ability to 10 a route and the
race promises to be an effective prelude to
the Morris Park special at two miles. which
the Westchester Association Is promoting.
The Friar's '9S debut the other day was very
impressive, and the Morris second string.
Mirthful,, also showed that he was coming on.
