The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-08-10

With the coming week probably the
most sensational series Of harness racing
ever held in the United States will take
place. The famous meeting at Brighton
Beach in New York opens tomorrow af-
ternoon with easily the best program eV-
err offered on the Grand Circuit.
Tuesday the local meeting at Riverside
be gins. and as the hard rains OF the
early part of last week and the warm
have made the track lightning fast the
races should be unusually interesting.
The Brighton Beach meeting has pecu.
liar local interest by reason OF the fact
that two Montgomery horses ana propa-
bly, several Alabama horses will start.
Alabama Cor Miss WillimonO will very
probably start in the three in i've Brigh-
ton pace Thursday t$5,0OoD There are
sixteen entries in that race including
Twinkle, Casconda, Dick See and lot
of others, most of whom can easily beat
2:lo
Daphne Dallas. the bay mare by Quar-
termaster out of Kittie Lambert will be
one of the nuts that the winner Of the
Brighton will have to crack. In 2:l1
pace at Cleveland on July "a she won the
first two heats in 2:O7 IL ana 2:OI Ia. Inc
third heat was won by the Alental mare,
Casconda. in 2:05 ga who beat Daphne
Dallas a nose. Casconda taking the next
heat in 2:09 1-2. Daphne Dallas took the
fifth in 207 ga. Dick See was we'll
thought of in the race but he proved a
great disappointir ent, the whirlwind pace
of Casconda and Daphne Dallas smotn-
ering him.
Twinkle has paced mile in 2:06 81 this
season-at Cleveland on July 25-whiie
Roamer won the first two heats of the
Twinkle race Wednesday in 200 IL and
2:07 IA. This horse should also be ssac-
tor in the Brighton. He has the bio ID
ir him, being by Moquette out of Ida
Lynne mare sired by Mambrino Abb
dallah.
With the performances of Twinkle. the
granddaughter of Tom Hail. local horse
men are familiar. So 1t will be seen
that Miss Willimont will have TO pace
somewhere in the neighborhood of POS OF
better IL she wants to get in striking
distarce of her speedy company. While
ii is not expected that she will win any
of the heats in that race still Montgom-
cry horsemen have an abiding falth In
the gameness, speed and endurance of
the beautiful daughter Of A!mont who
received her edu ,ation at Riverside PARK.
Sunshine will also probably start,
probably in the 2:20 pace Tuesday,and
the performances of these two products
of Riverside Park will be watched with
interest. .,.-
one of the most intensely interesting
features of the meeting will be the match
races-The Abbott and Lord Derby Ana
ccnda and Prince Alert and Dan Patch 6
try against time. Lord Ferby has SHOWN
wonderful form for this early in the sea-
son but he will not have Ed Geers 70
drive him next Thursday. Montgomerians
know what that means.
After all though. the development OF
both of these horses was the work oil
| Geers. -,
The Anaconda Prince Alert match will
| be one of the most interesting events OF
the week. especially If Dan Patch gets
| in it.
| It was in 1900 that these two PAGERS
made their first sensational req as

save his distance. In the next heat Ptinc'
Alert went the first quarter In thlrt!
seconds fiat and the half in 1:Ol Ia. Tn
records Of that race show that there wa
a terrific battle between Prince Alert an'
| Anaconda from then on, the three-quar
| tiers being done in 1871 ga. The two horses
| went under the wire so close together
| that 1t looked like n dead heat: Tn
Judges, however. gave the heat to Prince
