The Coney Island Jockey Clubs course at
Sheepshead Bay never becomes very heavy
as it is hard underneath, but steady,
soaking rain has fallen for twenty-four con-
secutive hours and the weather man prom
Uses another twenty-four hours of the
same. Consequently the track will be at its
worst and the Futurity chute will be es-
pecially bad. This means almost certainly
that Hamburg Belle will not start. No
chances are taken with j. b. Haggins
horses.
Delhi, coupled with the other Keene en-
tries will be the favorite and deservedly
so. He has steadily improved in races and.
though beaten once by Broomstick, Delhi
suffered then at the start. The two are
by Ben Brush but the latter has worked
seven-eighths in 1:26, the three-quarters in
lib, with los pounds up. and won his last
race under 112 pounds on slow track in
lib is. Still Broomstick is fast and sturdy
and Odom will ride. He Will have many
supporters. OF the others Abdell will carry
the Madden colors, as will the Minute Man
and Gettysburg. Abdell will have O'Neilrs
services, which means much. On a fast
track the Plauditt colt won six furlong
sprint in LIP AS John T.. Madden bought
Gettysburg a month ago, and Madden never
kept bad horse Gettysburg is by Ham
burg, and in his only race was tangled up
through greenness, but was overhauling
Magistrate in the fremont stakes, run on
a very heavy track.
Highballs unexpected return to stake
form at Saratoga makes him formidable
on paper to Delhi.
She has done well in poor company.
w. c. Whitney's candidates are not con-
sidered formidable.
This is the Futurty, however, and the
great prize of the Junior racing division.
To win that crown the millionaire turfmen
prepare for years. The pick of the great
struggle for the $4,000 prize. The year
has not shown a Domino or Hamburg,
but the evenness of quality is of excellence,
not mediocrity.

ises to be excellent. Hamburg Belle will
carry the wagers OF most bettOrs, If not
the most money. If she starts. Her owners
and trainer have bet heavily upon her, but
they withdrew Waterboy from the Subur-
ban on account of dangerous track when
they stood to win 100000 on him, and the
tonight make Hamburg Belle and the
Keene entry equal fayorites at to /. with
Madden three at skies. Broomstick, coupled
with Audience, at eight, the Whitney stable
at tens and the others at long prices.
