SIX DAYS At BEACH.

MORTGAGE ON Seaside Stakes.

In the course OF the Brighton Beach Racing
Association six day meeting, which begins this
afternoon at the track by the sea, there are
seven stakes to be decided. and from present
indications it looks as though the stable Of
Harry Payne Whitney has mortgage on the
most important, If not on'a majority, OF them.

Cup Preliminary, at one and one-half miles, and
the Brighton Cup, at two and one-quarter miles
It is conceded that these two fixtures will go to
Mr.. Whitney with scarcely pretence of OPP
position. The result of the Triumph Stakes, to
be run on Wednesday, seems to be a little
in doubt but the two-year-olds Mr. Whitney has
entered for it furnish by far the most formidable
material which can be looked upon as available
q OF the seven youngsters he named for tbs
stake, when 1t closed last May he still has four
TO depend upon. and at least two of them-in
the opinion of many turfmen-are good enough
to beat the lot which in all likelihood will make
up the field for the first running of this stake
These two are the Hamburg colts Pegasus and
Midas. The other two which are available are

two Hamburgs would be materially lessened, but
there is not remote possibility of any OF

popular. 1t is at the unusual distance Of one
mile. and was conceived by Mr.. Fitzgerald as
an admirable medium for testing the stamina
and endurance Of the two-year-old. as we'll as
his sprinting ability That the idea met with
the approval Of horse owners is shown by the
fact that seventy-three entries were received,
which included about all the smart youngsters
of the season with the exception Of Burgomaster
and Mohawk II
