New York, May 2-Eighteen racers OF all
degrees are sent out as probable starters
for the seventeenth running of the Brook
Ign Handicap. to be decided at Grayesesnd
tomorrow.
1t Is regarded as a coincidence that the
same able trainer who. in 1887, sent Blue
Wing. one Of the favor1tes. to the post. to-
morrow will be responsible for another IA
vorite-Gunfre.
John w. Rogers. the trainer Of Blue Wing
and Gunfire. always maintained that Blue
Wing should have won the first year the
race was run.
Ihe finish between Dry Monopole, Blue
wing and Hidalgo has ever since that day
beer chosen by the Brooklyn Jockey Club
for Its posters advertising each successive
competition for that famous race, and with
good cause. for no renewal since then has
afforded a more thrilling competition be-
tween three horses.

Natheniel Woodcock is a meritorious sort
of horse. even IL his races have not been
good. He has not been well ridden, nor has
he been fortunate. With a nice, tight ride
on him he will not be far from the winner
to-day.
Tyburn has wrought well in the morning
and fs, they say, a shifty kind of colt.
Otis Skinner is a good-looker and may
break Mr.. Martins maiden to-day. ]. s.
Mangan says that Don Ernesto is simply
'in" now. Ernesto was not a bad colt last
season and has worked extremely well.
It Is an extremely bad lot, and the horse
tina beats Tyburn will about win.
SWEET MYRTLE A WINNER.
Sweet Myrtle is in well in the second
race. She is nicely bred. a nice locker and
has u fast. So II seems that Mr.. Hayes,
who likes ornaments. would not enter her
in ae.selfng race of this kim and take a
chance Of having her beaten and claimed
by theh halter brigade, so busy as 1t is now.
She will win. They bet on Lady Ray last
time out and thought she would win.

Brooklyn. n. Y, May FIT is always ex-
asperating to have a tail end team come
along and win. But that Is probably what
tall end mines are supposed to do. Manager
Aanlon had counted on a clean sweep of
victories for the Brooklyns from the st.
Louis Cardinals. but the latter. at Washing
ton Park this afternoon, upset his calcula-
lions. winning by a score of 3 to /.
From a st. Louis standpoint the victory
was a glorious one. The visitors made their
hits OF the much-vaunted Jones. whose
curves were hit at opportune times. In adj
diion they felded faultlessly. leaving the
field without an error against them. The
Cardinals showed what they are really cara-
BILE of doing. Manager Donovan was happy.
his players were joyful. and even the par

from the south. probably from the Musloka Lake

from the Adrondacks. This northern movement
