Great Events.
With the closing of the entries to
all of the big stakes to be run on
+ba Eastern turf during the coming
season comes the announcement that
.be class and character of the nomi-
nations for the Suburban, the Brook
1vn and the Brighton Handicaps is
what was expected.
Waterboy, the great champion of
last wear, is in the Suburban, from
victory in which he probably was de-
arrived by accident of weather last
wear. and also in the Brighton, which
he so worthily won in 1908. McChes-
nov the picturesque foreman of the
great fixtures, and also in the Brook
1vn as is the gallant Hermis. Old
ADVANCE Guard again will be got
readv if that be possible, and so, too,
will Roehampton, the latter for the
Brooklyn and the Brighton.
MAGNIFICENT FOur-Year-oIds.
In the 4-year-old division a mag
ni6cent lot of great colts will strive
for the triple crown, which yet has
been won by no single horse, though
the winning of it is not beyond the
hound of reasonable probability. At
ricander is engaged in all of the ham
dfc1ps and though the entry of Irish
Lad was not at hand at
midnight, it was generally ac-
cepted that it was on it's way. At
ricander will be got ready for the
Brooklyn, and Irish Lad last year
showed that he was fit when the bugle
called at Gravesend. For the Subur-
ban, too, they will be prepared, and
then at Brighton there will be an
other colt with every title to give
them battle.
This other colt is Dick Welles, the
conceded champion of the West last
year, and whose entry for the Brigh-
ton was received by wire yesterday
afternoon. His presence will create

er as much of a champion in the West
as McChesney had been, and almost
as much of a popular hero.
Acefull, too is in all the handicap5,
and his work will be followed close

may be repeated in his-not that that
would make him win a Suburban, a
Brooklyn or a Brighton, but that it
would make him a most interesting

Golden Maxim, unfortunate, but dis

route Of the handcaDs, and Enoch
Wishard, who is not overly given to
enthusiasm, has named Savable for all
three. About this colt Wishard never
was satisfied last year, and he makes
no secret at all that, fit and well, this
son OF Salvador is, in his opinion, the
equal of any of his age. Hurstbourne
and Major Daingerfield will carry the
colors of w. B. Leeds in all the three
fixtures.
Many Three-YeOr-OIds.
The 3-year-olds are, as anticipated,
very largely engaged. Of the partial
list sent out by Brighton last night no
fewer than twenty of the forty-eight
scheduled are 3-year-olds, and it is
reasonably certain that they will be
found in the Brooklyn and Suburban
lists. OF these 3-year-olds most inter-
est naturally attaches to the champion
tlly, Hamburg Belle. With her in the
list appears the champion colt, High
BALL and then there comes Broomstick,
the little bulldog; Delhi, who was the
pest tried youngster in the Keene barn;
Dolly Spanker a colt of excellent mer-

June is shown by the fact that he has
not been entered for the Brooklyn
Handicap, his first important engage
ment being in the Suburban to be run
on the opening day at Sheepshead Bay.
