good form in all of his starts. but It is
hardly probable that another three-year-
old will win the race. The same objection
can be urged against Pentecost. Sadie S.
for some unknown reason has been played
by supposedly wise persons, but she has
never shown class enough to be even
among the coltenders.
A Likely Three-Year-0ld.
II any three-year-o should repeat Con-
roy's victory. the likely one seems to be
l"Pittsburg Phirs" Chiffon. This horse
ran In the Metropolitan and finished a
bang-up fourth. On his next appearance
he won in gallop. and he seems to be
of the kind that can go a route. Water
cure, Green Morris four-year- old. was a
pretty good horse in California, and his
last years form in the East was good.
In his only start this season he did not
perform any too we'll. Carbuncle. who
was third in the Metropolitan, will be
favored some by the route. but he will
have better horses to meet than he had in
Morris Parks races.
From present Indications the race ap-
pears to be between the three best-backed
horses. Blues, Herbert. and Advance
Guard. The Times does not attempt to
make selection thus far in advance, but
II Advance Guard should win 1t will not be
surprised.

SECOND GAME TO IMP0SERS.
The Composers Were Ureble to Bunch
Their Hits and Lost the Game.

The Comps and Imps played their second
game In the series of three for the cham
pionship OF the job room OF the Govern
ment Printing Office yesterday afternoon
on the Malone Lot. After five innings of
heavy batting and fast fielding, the lmps

of Peed. who only allowed one base on
balls and struck out eleven men. The de-
Gliding game will be played next Satur-
day. on the same grounds and an excit
ing contest is expected.

Feature of Opening Day.

The Brooklyn is the chief feature of the
opening day OF the Gravesend track, and
when the time coIoes for the running of
the race next Saturday greater crowd
than ever saw the race run will In all
probability be on hand. for never before
has there been such pronounced evidence
OF the prosperity and popularity of racing
In this country. The officials OF the Brook
lyn Jockey Club are anticipating record
breaking attendance and are providing
extra accommodations for their patrons.
The Brooklyn has an advantage over the
Metropolitan Handicap for the reason that
the starters in the former are generally
better seasoned. In many cases they have
appeared in races before the running of
the handicap and the public has had op-
portunities TO get a line on what the
horses can do. In other words. their prob
able form in the Brooklyn can be "doped"
out on their previous races % the season.

ing Will Strive to Capture the Classic
Review of Performances.

At Gravesend next Saturday afternoon
the sixteenth Brooklyn Handicap will be
run. Next to the Suburban the Brooklyn
Handicap is the most popular all-aged
race in America.
Ever since its inception in 1887 the race
has been a favorite one with racegoers.
and the winner OF the event each year has
been numbered among the very best
horses of this country. Indeed. the victor
of Brooklyn. along with the winner OF a
Suburban, is generally hailed as one Of
the champion thoroughbreds OF the year
Many pNminent and wealthy owners
have bent all their energies and spent
thousands of dollars in an effort to win
the Brooklyn Handicap.
II is race where every horse is trying
his utmost; where every horse is sent to
the post fit TO run the best race he can;
where every jockey is riding his hardest.
They are all anxious to get TO the win

the cap OF any boy to have his name con-

Herbert's Good Form.

OF those that have started this year
Herbert's form has been the best. His
only start was in the Metropolitan Handi
cap, In which race he had very rough
journey. ran capital race. and finished
second. 1t was the universal opinion that
with good luck Herbert should have won.
But Just there is the rub when Herbert is
considered He has always been an un-
lucky horse and has lost number Of
races that he would have won had he met
with luck that falls to,the lot of ordinary
racers. II the lay of progression holds
good. Herbert should win. as in the last
two years he has been third once and sec
ond once. However. Herbert is said to
be in as coed shape as he ever was in his
life, and is the pick of many shrewd turf
men. His trial few days ago was an i'm
pressive one and caused many owners
who had hopes OF winning the race to
think hard T-

Great Interest This Year.

This season interest in the race is very
great. Banastar and Herbert are the only
taken part in previous runnings of the
race, and Banastar will not start.
All of the prospective starters in the
race next Saturday are now getting their
final preparation. II is likely that the
field will be made up of fifteen or more
horses. In the future betting on the race
Blues is the favorite. due to a heavy
plunge on the horse within the last few
