Candidates.

New York April S.-The racing season
On the Metropolitan tracks will be ush-
cred in at Aqueduct one week from to-
day
KinleyAIack leads the field Of handicap
candidates He has vintered exception
ally and IS stronger and more lusty in
wind and body than last season. His
trainer has paid careful attention to his
legs, and to the naked eye they appear
much letter than they were when ne
won both the Brooklyn and Suburban
kandicaps. In the work asked of him
so far he has not shown a trace of ailing
in his bad leg" Instead he goes sound
and strong. He is receiving slow, evea
preparation for the Brooklyn handicap,
which will be his first start of the year.
Ethelbert will hardly face the flag be-
fore the Suburban race. He may be Civ
en- one or two spins in an over night
race to round him up thoroughly, but his
real appearance of the year viii be in
the Suburban Perry Belmont, his OWL
er is anxious to win this classic event,
and the horse is receiving a special pre-
paration for it.
Prince of Melbourne divided the hon.
crs of champion three year old with w.
r. Whitney's KilInarnock last season.
Mr.. Boards colt won number of races
at all sorts OF distances and with big
weight UP. He won the rich Realization
stakes in the mud after a hard race with
1ldrim. He has improved considerably
and in conformation he is a fine type of
a horse. The pines of Lakewood have
been most beneficial to his health, and
he will strip sound in wind and limb at
cravesend for the opening of the cam
paign.
Imp. will not be ready for the bugle
call till late in the season. She is not
engaged in any early stakes, and her
trainer will not get her ready till the lat
fer part of the first Coney Island JOCK
this mare will be in fine fettle She has
not taken on much flesh during the win
ter and her nervous system is receiving
special attention
Voter, James R Keene's crack sprint
er, is training down at BrOokdale, n. J.
Like the majority of the Keene horses,
he has improved in looks during his
letup in training. He has all his old
speed and is being galIoped daily in or
der to get him in shape for the Metro
politan
or the 3-year-olds entered in the big
handicap Beau Gallant, Bellario and All
Green are the most prominent The first
two are owned by Richard Croker, who
bought them last fall after they had won
a number of high class races. Beau
Gallant mad the distinction of heading
Commander in the only race Mr.. Keene's
great colt lost. At one time during the
winter he was very sick, but he has
now fully recovered and is taking reg
ular exercise. He will not be a factor
in the early races HE was not extern
sively engaged before Mr.. Croker bought
him. and has only been recently entered
in a number of stakes. Frank Brown,
his trainer, is not hurrying him along,
and will not start him much before
Gravesend.
Bellario is being "drummed" along in
his work in order to get him ready for
Morris Park This game son of Beivi-
dere is heavily engaged in a number OF
stakes and unless he breaks down, which
is a remote possibility. he will start in
a majority of them. His first effort will
probably be in the Metropolitan haEdi-
cap.
All Green will start in the Metropolitan
unless something Unforeseen crops up.
This colt has entirely recovered from the
laIreness that kept him from winning
more races last year than he is credited
with He has worked well. He is fast,
can carry weight and go a distance.
and should the track be muddy his
chances would be enhanced considerably.
