Hermis came out OF the 1mip Handicap
on Saturday In such good condition that he
will probably be starter In the Seashore
Handicap. TO be run next Saturday at Bri en-
ton. Tho distance will be one mile and
quarter and Hermis will probably receive
top weight from the offlcial Handicapped.
w. s. Yosburgh The fact that no packed
1872 pounds and ran nine furlonas In the lslip
In so should make him n dangerous factor
In the Seashore. 1t Is true that Hermis was
all out to beat Buttling on saturday, but
II must bc remembered that II was the Her
mence horses second race OF the season ana
that he was hardly keyed up to the real cham
ponshp form he displayed last season.
Should Hermis receive 1870 or 1872 pounds III
the Seashorc he can be expected to show an
Improvement over his race against Buttling.
for during this meet Trainer John Shields
will have u chance TO get him on real edge.
l.. X. Thomas was delighted with Hermiss
performance in the Islip. although he did not
bet heavily on him. He wanted TO see the great
horse put to a test that would definitely
show whether there was a chance OF return
to the lameness that threw him outof training
directly after he had beaten Beldame In the
Test Handicap last year. Hermis on that
occasion bowed a tendon. 1t Is said. but 1t
was not serious, and his return to the turf
was assured after he had spent the winter
at Alex Shields's Bound Brook farm. over
