is the class and on form should win sure,
but she will be 3 or 4 to l. and will get
beaten by hook or crook. La Rouge is an

coed with a confidence that is astounding
Their form" is certainly true. So pass up
Algaretta and Eliza Dillon. who should
win and go TO Saimus. who has no chance
on dope or anything else except price.
HOEDOwN FOR SECOND.
HoedOwn looks like a good thing in the
second. but pass him. too. He is sure to
get Off badly ard run a good enough race
to get beaten. Cardone is a fairish kind
on her races up North.
WILL BEAT IRBY BENNETT.
Irby Bennett should walk home in the
third. but the price will be short. and
short prices are not winning tickets at
Delmar. Bird Slayer or Donami Will
about clean Bennett handily. and Decora-
ton should run a good one and play I'D
TO Delmar form. which is two bad ones
ana one Good one.
DIR. CARTRIDGE WILL BE SECOND.
Frank Bell houl win the fourth event,
but he likes a longer price than he will
be. DR.. CARTRIDGE is the best bet.
They cannot beat him out of second place
unless they pull him.
FIINTLOCK AND HILEE.
Here We find the great FlintIock in the
fifth race, at just his distance. What he
should do here is a pity. He beats Taby
Tcsa, and Taby Tosa beats First Mason.
Hilee should be second. If Smith does not
break her jaw.
Temptress looks best in the last. AS she
will have the stable boy, George. up and
as Mr.. Rothert is always trying, she
should be one fayorite to win. Charles
G. seems her most dangerous opponent.
The Republic has no hesitation in recon-
mending bettors to go to Temptress II
they Ike her. They will get a run from
Mr.. Rothert.
