she jumps right out and settles down to
racing. Once on the way she can be read
lily placed although she invariably races
in front. In some furiong I'm the race she
goes so fast that all opposition Is killed
OFF there and then. It may be the first
furlong or one of the middle furlongs, but
the result is the same. She is of the hale
and hearty sort and sound as a bell of
brass. She was in constant training last
year from April Is to Sept. IA and went
through campaign that Is rarely at
tempted with a horse OF her class.
BeIdame's Future
What will Beldame's future be? This
question Is an absorbing topic among
horSemen and racing folk. The racing sea-
son is now at hand and ere long Il must
be decided. VIII she train on and race
tired early to earn further fame as
matron? Everything points to her adding
new laurels to her crown. She has win
takes her work as if It were only play.
1t is true that this year she is in the
hands Of the Handicapped to a large ex-
tent, and must meet the best in training
under trying concessions OF weight, but
it IS true also that she. IL any, can accom-
pl1sh the many different tasks set. Au-
guest Belmont, in whose name and colors
she VIII race this year, and Fred Buriew,
her trainer, than whom none know her
better, have indicated convincingly their
been entered in all the big handicaps-
the Carter, Excelsior, METROPOLITAN,
Brooklyn, Suburban, Brighton and Sara
toga-and host OF other fixtures, and
success in any one of these would write
her name even higher. She Is in a con-
spicuous place as considering her sex al
lowance, the official Handicapped has placed
her either at top weights or only two
pounds under Hermis In those races for
which the weights have been announced.
With amateur and professional handi-
prices she is practically the favorite even
now for the races for which she IS named
while host of enthusiasts who follow her
blindly are unwilling to admit that she
can be beaten In any race In which she
starts. Her owner and trainer, by NOM
mating her SO generously, will have plenty
OF latitude in selecting particular races
Tor which to point her, and another bril-
liant season for her seems assured In
all probability she will be trained with
the Metropolitan in view. as to win this
new track at Belmont Park would be a
triumph in itself. To thoroughly fit her
for that she may be started at AQueduct
or Jamaica.

Featherstone Has Hope
OF interest to horsemen Is the arrival
here Of Julius Lauer, trainer for A
