far faster colt than Pentecost was.
On the other hand, the four-year-olds
of this year, such as Irish Lad, Afri-
cander. Golden Maxim. Sayable. etc,
may be better than Gold Heels was In
his year. Then there are the flve-year-
olds to deal with, such as Hermis and
McChesney. At this stage the promise
of three great races at Gravesend, Coney

question.
Delhi Is Fast.
There is authority for the assertion
that Delhi is the fastest horse In train

last year he showed trials good enough
TO win the Futurity of any year. Why
he did not show better in last years

the trials were too severe
But one thing is now certain-no three

weight carrying ability than Delhi.

doubts as to his staying qualities may
be dissipated like a zephyr. He may not
