BY WALTER E. ERLER.

Everything at Weequahic Park is in
prime condition for today's matinee
event; Superintendent Bross has the
track in elegant shape. and the horses
are fit and ready. Unless Jupiter Pla-
vius interferes some high-class sport
may be looked for. There are five
events scheduled and the feature per-
Torrance should be the 2:25 pace for a
silver cup, donated by the rae commit
three in five, with the following entries:
Ell. B., Queen Gentry. The Rector, limp
and Harvard Lake. On what the latter
has shown in her work for Ike Holly
this spring, she ought to wiz this race
without an effort. She will be driven
by Pete Herman. and surely looks like
one best bet, although Queen Gentry
and Ell. B. are both good right now, and
may make the daughter of Red Lake
beat 2:9o to win.
In the 2:30 trot there are six entries.
On paper 1t would appear that the pay
gelding Little Ned, owned BY Doc
weiser, had a shade the best or ~,
and the roam gelding Schley, in the stanle
of Billy Coville, should be right on the
Job all the time.
The 2:25 trot should be better than a fair
horse race. with Bert Brantford. me
Farmer, Retriever. Hamlet. Fred v. and
Wldiar fighting for twenty-five bags Of
oats. It would appear that the race would
come between The Farmer and Wldlar,
While the latter appears to have more
speed, he has not been acting himself for
the last couple of weeks and The Farmer
is right now. The bay gelding FREQ. ",
from Westfeld, has been racing VIGIL at
home, and, as a matter of fact, can al
ways be depended upon to so a very salts
factory race.
In the 2:2O pace the chestnut mare Lii
liam W. 2:231s. surely looks like the class.
This mare has been working well this
spring. and good horsemen look for her
TO make a -rwalkoovera event y sns OF Il IT On I the
Job, ought TO give the Gregory entry a
race. as should the gelding Joe McGregor,
owned by H. A. Jaeger, If he VIII stay
In the free-for-an trot there are four
entries-Creal, J. B., Marique and Harry
Lake. The former looks like the class
TO the majority of horsemen, although j.
B. has shown a bundle of speed over the
speedway and in his work at the track,
apd may throw a surprise into the rail-
birds. Harry Lake is reported in excel
lent condition and Marique is never beaten
until the last horn blows.
The second series of matinee events
under the auspices of the Gentlemen's
Speedway Driving Club will be conducted
over the local speedway on the a~fternooa
of July II. There will be seven class
events and a special match race between
J. b., owned by Captain z. V. eager. and
Nathan Hale. owned by George StengeL

heats two in three) TO carts, for rosettes.
There has been q bunch OF arguments re-
garding the fast black gelding H. b. X,
some people going 50 far as to say he had
nc breeding. Mr.. Kline. his owner. low
ever, has traced the horses ancestry, and
he's one Of the best bred things any man
would ask to own. His sire Is Suitor, ir..
by Sutton. a son OF Blackwood. by The
Moor; dam. Galvano Belle, by Galvano. n
producing son OF Gambetta Wilkes.
