TEST.
The list Of probable starters sent from Sleeps
Enead Bay yesterday indicated that thirteen ma!
take uart in the Suburban Handicap this after
moon Some additions may be made at the track
to-day. and Of the horses which II was
Thought yesterday might start may be taken out
1of the contest. Trainers are superstl'lous' ds d
rule and It is not probable that they VIII Iea'e
matters in such a shape that the unlucky total OF
thirteen will make up the field. Unless it rains be-
fore the time for the Suburban the course viii be
ftn excellent oondition-dry end fast on dry lasI
track It is difficult how Intrusive, KaHaello
lor Prince McCiurg have any chance, and they
reht as well be kept in their stables However, IT
&c the rnexDected which often occurs on the turf
iRnd the owners and trainers of the three horses
NAMED NAV decide to have try for Suburban dis
4nction spite of the fact that their prospects are
not seemingly in the least encouraging.
With clear bright weather, a track which Is
not muddy or sloppy or heavy. Kinley Mack, Sur
1ivor and Herbert 30 not loom as Formidable II Is
well known that Peter WINNER trains Jean beFauu
for W c. Whitney and Kinley Mack for hastn q
7arstta He has worked those two colts together
Aon many occasions. and Mr.. WINNER has declared
repeatedly that Jean Beraud could always outrun
Kinley Mack with the greatest ease at any us
s4snre KinIev Mack the Brooklyn Handicap IN
has weather and heavy going, Ethelbert and Jean
.I3eraud having been withdrawn 1t Is not unilkely
that Kinley Mack will be taken out OF the SUD-
,,rban proyided the track is still dry and last
when the horses go the post. Barring accidents
r ,,nexnecte5 incidents Kinley Mack cannot fairly
ne regarded as the equal OF Jean Beraud, much less
The equal Of Ethelbert-
Most Of the trainers and turf experts are firm in
she belief that Ethelbert Will be the Suburban
sictor In most years the Suburban has fallen to
good four-year-old Ethelbert is a colt Of good
&rlass and of notable record His exploits IN the
METROPOLITAN Handicap and in the special race with
Tean Beraud were so impressive that there Is less
tsivsion OF opinion among turf sages as TO the prop
able winner this year than there has been in pre-
-yious seasons. TurfmeH OF the ripest experience
and the coolest judgment believe that EtheIoert
will secure first honors. There no certainties

lean Feraud was decisively superior 10 Imp only
Nc few days ago when they met, and on a dry, fast
track he ought TO outrun her to-day although her

screditable Petruchio captured the Brooklyn Derby

He did so well that day that he gained many
friends and he will not be without hackers this
afternoon. It should not be forgotten however
chat Kilmarnock conceding 10 Petruchlo
eighteen poands actual weight on Thursday. Kill
1narnock had the worst conceivable luck through
out the Brooklyn Derby, and was ridden In stupid
sbungling fashion by Turner. ABLY ridGen' hllnlar-
mock could not have been far behind Petruchio at

mounds. Suppose that Kilmarnock mad been carry
SnE us pounds in the Brooklyn Derby, ten POUNDS
more than Petruchio carried does any sensible man
doubt that Kilmarnock Thursday, with lib
mounds I'D and well ridden, could have defeated
l'etruchio 1OS pounds in the saddle? Petruchio
carries l02 pounds to-day, having taken up pen
