announcement by Mr.. Fitzgerald that the
Brighton Association Is ready to offer a
big purse II the trainers Of the horses

run has put the proposition before the
horsemen for decision. Two of the horses

from injuries received in that race, and
they are entries that practically are neces-
sary to the success of the plan for the
special race Neither of the mares were
severely hurt, however and IL Is quite
likely that they will be ready to race

Brighton Beach meeting have passed, and
that they may be engaged in a field includ-
ing Rams Horn, Tokalon. Whimsical, Or
mondale, Accountant and Dandelion.
Racing for the week will start in this
afternoon with two notable elements in
the making of results absent in the rival
Jockeys Miller and Radtke. Miller will
be missed for only the two days of his
suspension by the stewards on Saturday,
but Radtke has gone to join Trainer 'Bub"
May at Saratoga. and his return to ride at
Brighton Beach Is doubtful, even though
he Is under contract to ride for James
r. Keene on second call. Trainer May.
who took the horses of Paul J. Rainey to
ing there. sent for Radtke to join him.
and the boy left yesterday afternoon.
Knapp, who figured last season a rider
whose success won support for all his
mounts. also is away taking rest, and 1t
seems that for a time at least the follow
ers of the successful riders in betting "sys-
tens will have to find some new guide for
their speculations.
