Splendid weather with hot sun and
fast track was the promise held out

perfect contest seemed certain. Thou
sands Of holiday makers will journey to
the historic track and one Of the larg-
est crowds of tt" season is as usual ex-
pected to whites, the race. Coaching
parties by the score; hundreds Of auto
mobiles and every sort Of conveyance

pared to head for the boulevards leading
to Coneey island long before noon and
the business cares Of thousands were
laid aside for the day in order to wit
ness the race. So
While there is not so much "classD
to the entries for the big handicap as
usual nearly ali entered have proved
sterling racers since the season opened
about New York. The weights allotted
to each are 50 nicely adjusted that the
contest should be one Of the most truly
run in recent years. Delhi picks up a
slight penalty because Of his having
won, the Brooklyn handicap, but his
burden will not be increased enough to
make any material difference. Bel
dame, who won twelve Of fourteen races
IN which she started last season, is
next on the list. f. -
