From movements made by horse
men with representatives in the
Montgomery Handicap, to be de-
cided Monday at the opening of

evident that one of the largest
fields that has ever started in that
classic event will face William
Murray, the recently appointed
starter, who succeeds C. ]. Fitz-
gerald.
Owing to the mishaps, fatalities
and other things that have been
attendant to the favorite in past

The consistent winning form of the

on Account of n Weak Heart.
New York, March paw. K. Van
derbilt, Jr., who made a new worlds
record of O:S9 over the Ormond Beach
(Florida) course few weeks ago, will
never race an automobile again. His
physicians have forbidden it, and it is
limited that heart trouble has been
brought on by the young millionaire
from constant speeding.
No less an authority than DR.. George
F. Shrady says that the record-break-
ing speed at which many automo-
bilists are going is sure to affect the
heart, and 1t is absolute death to all
who have a weak heart if persisted in
for any length of time.
The machine which broke the worlds
record was a 90-horsepower Mercedes,
and it has been sold by Mr.. Wander
bilt to Bernard NJ. Stanley, president
of the New Jersey Automobile and
Motor Club. The machine was sent to
Newark, Mr.. Shanley's home, on Fri
day last.
Mr.. Stanley says the car will not be
used for racing purposes in the near
future, but may be entered in the pro-
posed 300 mile contest for the $1,000
cup offered by William K. Vanderbilt,
Jr. 1t will be equipped with a small
tonneau and used during the season
for touring purposes. The machine
has four cylinders, and is supplied with
four speed gears.
The records made by Mr.. Shanley's
new car follow:

Fast Time Necessary to Win Races
In Gay Paree.
In order to win the paced bicycle
game abroad, it is necessary to ride
miles behind the puttering motors in
a minute according to a letter received
from Bobbie Walthour, who is now in
Paris. Another pace-following wheel
has been shipped to the star member
of the Columbia team, who is expected
to uphold the honor of America in
competition on the foreign tracks. AL
though Walthour admits that great
speed is required in order to win, his
early trials have been so encouraging
that he feels confident of capturing
more than his share of the purse
money.
Advices from abroad state that on
March is in Paris Bobby" Walthour,
American pace follower, won his first
race on French track. He met
Dangla, the Frenchman, and won both
heats in the race, which were at 10
kilometres and 20 kilometres. Then he
did up the second Frenchman without
any more trouble. Since these races

Were a popular vote taken right now
among the daily attendants at the
morning trials, it is likely that the
verdict would be returned in favor of
either S. c. Hildreth, C. r. Ellison or
G. c. Bennett winning the race. Hill
dreth has stated that he will send
three representatives to carry his col
ors, and Witful is included in the list.
Ellison thinks he has a royal chance
to win, with Capt. Arnold. Henry Nc
Daniel, the Bennett trainer, has de-
voted the major portion of his time
recently in giving Little Scout his
closest attention. Eddie Dominick has
been engaged to ride Little Scout. Wal

San Francisco, March 24.-This was
practically the last day of the training
of Young Corbett and Jimmy Britt for
their meeting tomorrow night.
The Californian has not had any
trouble in making the required 1870
pounds, so that his exercise to-day was
of the lightest variety. The champion
was in his automobile the greater part
of to-day, but at dawn he was out on
the road, heavily clad, and went
through such severe road work that he
returned to his quarters, dripping with
perspiration.
Betting to-day was more lively, with
10 to 6 the prevailing price, and more
Corbett money in the hands of specu-
lators than was displayed by the ad-
herents of Britt.
