MORRIS PARK OPENS.
Fast Time Expected at Opening of

The westchester Racing Association begins its an
nual spring meeting at Morris Park this afternoon
with the running OF the Metropolitan Handicap and

this park has be looked upon as the open

curtain raisers which precede il Long Island. As
fhere are from two four stake races to be run
daily the twenty days Of the meeting, and as
there purses OF less than $1,000 offered, the
distinction is made with reason

Of the starting barrier at Morris Park this
afternoon were not wholly successful and IL IS
probable that Mr. Fitzgerald viii have to resort to

from using the McGinnis gate
The Metropolitan Handicap, OF course. is the
feature OF the opening day. Although lacking in
the dignity years which characterzes the Brook

the season il is, nevertheless great race both In
Its monetary value and IN the quality Of the thor
oughbreds that make up its field.

prospect Of least fifteen candidates going 10 the
post the gross value OF the race should be about
