With its snug quarters, it's tightening fast track

enjoyed genuine popularity with racing folks
Though 1t has not been found expedient to open the

add to its popularity and bring Out gredter crown

| The material from which the field for the Brigh-

! Hermis, Beldame. Lord of the Vale and Dolly
Spanker.
ALL the list is made up of forty eligbles, and as
the guaranteed value of the race is $4,000 there Is
hope that OF the best groups OF horses

will take part in this renewal of the Brighton II

met with a serious accident Still. those who are
acquainted with the stable secrets say that Hermis

OF the possible starters Hermis. with 12s pounds,
is the actual top weight but of the probable start
ers, Broomstick with 119 pounds, and Ort Wells,
with 12 will be the weight carriers. AS in all Of

| The meeting at Brighton Beach will be opened

feature there will be a steepechase handicap, over
the short course entries for which close this after
noon Last year the Test Handicap took the place
of the Brighton Mile and resulted in the sensa-
tional race between Herms and Beldame. which
proved 4 gerat victory for the Hermence horse and
! and Beidame are eligible for the Brighton and the
Test Handicap but 1t is not likely that either will
start in either race The Brighton Mile: like the
Brighton Handicap. brings together nearly all the
best horses of mature age that are in training and
should result in a clinking good race
In the mean time there will be decided at Sleeps
