dreth's entries will be Restigouche,
Montgomery and Fitzherbert. Mont
gomery having failed at Montreal, is
not seriously considered. Restigouche
must carry 12l pounds. or seven more
than he carried in the Brooklyn.
Hildreth's chief reliance is in Fitz-
herbert Hildreth has first class 3
year old in this son Of Ethelbert. who
defeated Hilarious several times last
season. and Fitzherbert's Suburban bur
den is only lO5 pounds Tt is considered
possible that Hilarious has improved
more than Fitzherbert. but that Fitz-
herbert is a better colt than lie used to
be can not be gainsaid. That was
rafting good performance Of his in the
Broadway, although he did not beat
such a racer as Hilarious And he
showed his last time out in California
that he could do better by stepping a
mile under pa pounds in 81 3-5. Fitz-
herbert was not so months old when he
did that.
Hilarious. if he starts. viii carry 100
pounds, and it is considered altogether
probable the race will be between
Hilarious and Fitzherbert, as the
others in the race arc Arctic. Alfred

original entries have been cancelled on
account Of indisposition. They are
High Private. Brother Jonathan, Jack
Atxin and Master Robert. Fayette has

are entered. but none Of them is seri-
ouslv considered.
King James was laid up so long by
the stone bruise he developed in the
Brooklyn that he filled up TO such an
extent that il would be necessary to
hurry him unduly TO get him ready for
the Suburban. Hildreth viii be con-
tent if King James RECEIVERS his form
in time to start at Empire City.
