will have plenty of quality about it,
more than usual, in fact, although Com
mando, the star ~younugster of the year,
is not eligible. The Domino colts dam
was not named for the Futurity after
she had been bred to the great Himyar
stallion. The stable to which the mighty
Commando belongs-James X. and Fox
hall P. keene's-is strongly represented
on the Futurity eligible list. 1t has four
potential candidates, the Domino colt
Cap and Bells, and the Masetto colt
Tommy Atkins, winner of the juvenile
stakes at Morris park and the Neptune
at Brighton. Cap and Bells is easily the
star tilly of the season, and many
shrewd horsemen believe that she is as
good a youngster a Commando himelf.
Whether he is or not is a stable secret
and one of a kind that is not liable to
be divulged.
Briaht as the chances Of the Keene
quartet look. they will have 20 or %
other shifty horses to beat. One of the
most prominent of them is Richard T.
Wilson, jr.'s ~Longstreet colt The Pa
raider, who ran second to Commando
and beat Tommy Atkins in the Great
Trial.
The strong Fleischmann stable will be
! REPRESENTED by Irritable, the winner of
the Eclipse stakes at Morris park in the
early spring, and Blues, the ~conquerof
of Prince Pepper and Tommy Atkins
IN the lTe1lOIl dl CSCAli I,
the winner of the Nationl stallion race,
who has shown at Saratoga recently
that he is back to his early spring form,
is not a Futurity eligible. That is a pity
Mr.. Whitney may send three hofses
along because he has that many good
ones eligible. They are Ballyhoo Boy,
the Observation-Disclosures colt he paid Eu-
gene Leigh a fancy price for as a year
ling; Holstein and Elkhorn, the winner
of the last half of the double event at

The engagement of Col. Jack Chinn,
ho~seman, breeder, planter, fox hunter,
! SPORTSMAN. orator, politician, story teller
and gentleman to do the starting at the
new race track, is pleasing to a st.
Louis scribe. OF the engagement he
comments as follows.
Jack Chinn of Harodshurg, KY, will
start the races at kinloch Park race
track. Mr.. j. D. Lucas announced yes
erdav that Mr.. Chinn had been chosen
to oficiate as starter at the new race
track.
my. Chinn is the first official of the
new track whose name has been made
public. 1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Lucas
will he as happy in his selection of other
officials as he has been in that OF Mr.,
CHM. There may be better mechanical
starters than Mr.. Chinn. Indeed the
trouble is that there are entirel" too
many good racing mechanics, professional
turfmen. Mr.. Chinn is not a crofes-
sional turfman. He is a gentleman ano
a horseman. The hin type of horse,
man is a mixture of American gentle
man and Irish squire, a cross bafWeer
George Washington and Charley O'Mal
. lev. Chinn was born in the blue grass
He was sucked with th~oroughbreds
He grew un with race horses. To hin
a horse is not a mere racing machine, thu
