Ign Handicap to be run at Gravcsend TO-
morrow afternoon. no such field for thi!
historic event has been seen in years
and the uncertainty as TO the probable
outcome has stirred up public Interest
TO such an extent that If the weather is
fair between 10000 and $4,000 person;
will witness the struggle. Even those
who can figure a horse race down TO a
question of inches were at sea tonight
They said that the race looked so open
that no particular horse could be re-
Earded as having a sure thing of it. In
the probable betting, as quoted by a
well known bookmalSer, it looks as II
Blues and Advance Guard would be
equal fayorites az about TO l.
Probable Favorites.
Blues Will carry 12i pounds and will

lie will be ridden by Tommy Burns, who
is in fine form just now.
". c. Rollins Herbert, considered by
many to be one OF the best handicap
horses in training. will be. in all pToba
bility, third choice in the betting. If
the track should be muddy, Herbert
would be even more highly esteemes. as
he is a notorious mudiark. and has al
ways been a consistent performer.
Northampton is looked upon as a dang
erous factor. On form it would seem as
IL Blues. Advance Guard. Herbert. and
Roehanpton would receive the heaviest
play.
William Lakeiand's The Regent is
dark one, his mile and one-quarter at
Brighton Beach in 2:o7l4 on Wednesday
being most promising trial. The Re
gent is in light with l03 pounds. and will
lie ridden by o'Brien, a colored stable
boy.
Blues, while he can, run in the mud

His trial OF Thursday. however, was an
excellent one. He covered the handi-
cap distance in 2:O6. and did it SO well
that his trainer was perfectly satisfied.

that Jockey ]. Woods will be Oh hand
