the seaside. The conditions were such
that a record breaking performance
was regarded as probable. The six fur

On the eve of the race speculation
ranges over wide field and the interest
in the Futurity, so far as the public Is
concerned is essentially that of the
Spectator. J. r. and F. P. Keene have
five entries, all fit and each announced at
to l. August Belmont has three colts.

but the former, it is said, may not start.
while the latter has a price OF from
to 10 to 1 against him.
With such a field, however, the race
will be a grand struggle from start to
finish of the six furlongs. All Of the
most fancied youngsters in their trials
have negotiated the course under 1;20.
but it is doubtful if any of them win
beat the record of 1903 1-5, made by
Yankee last year.

the final work of the youngsters slated
to contest for the richest prizes ana
highest honors of the American turf is
reflected in the betting in the antepost
books now in operation in the leading
