miles to be run as the fourth race this after
noon. VIII bring together-if the promise of the
overnight list is fuIhlled-the greatest field that
has gone to the post on an Eastern course this

The Advance is a weight-for-age race and
thus the questions Of supremacy which the three
previous big handicaps have created are likely
to be definitely settled. Obviously a weight-for-
age race is the most equitable contest in which
horses can be brought together.

tains the names OF Major Daingerfield, which.
being a hve-year-old, Will carry 12S pounds.
