123 POUNDS THE
WEIGHT THEY CARRY

II was definitely decided yesterday that
Roseben and Lady Amelia would each
carry 123 pounds in their race next Thurs
day Davy Johnson and Sidney Paget
the managers OF the respective horses,
agreed 20 this.
Any man who believes that he owns
a horse that can beat these two great
sprinters is at liberty to enter against
them. The race will close for entries on
Wednesday and the conditions call for
5000 a side. Unless both Roseben and
Lady Amelia start the race will be void.
but IL they go the Brooklyn Jockey club
will add s2500 TO the sweepstakes. A good
day and track are part OF the conditions.
In the discussion regarding the merits
OF the horses. It was the opinion that
Roseben would be slight favorite In the
betting. His position as to the choice, IL
was argued, was due TO the fact that he
had beaten Lady Amelia several times
last year.
