NEXT WEEKS
MEETING
Eleven wiggler Will Compete for
$4,000 in 2:04 Stake at Blue
Ribbon Races Here-Earl, IT.,
Favorite in the Event.
The Able, Leading Money Winner
Last Year, Entered - Canada's
Hope Is the Merry Widow.

What promises to be the most sem
sational fast pacing race OF the year
will be decided at the Blue Ribbon
meeting a week from today when the
2:O4 stake is reached. Entries for
this event closed In April. and at that
time l3 fast wigglers were named. SO
well have these trained that only two
have been declared. leaving III to
compete for the $4,000 which goes
to the horse standing highest In the
summary.
The final field in the event Is made
up OF Alcyfras. Earl. Jr., Ella Ambu-
lator Independence Boy, Knight or
Strathmore, Maggie Winder, Major
Brine, Major Mallow, Merry Widow.
The Able, w. A. and Walter w.
One OF tho most interesting features
Is the fact that this viii be the first
time The Able has met a field of such
class. Last year The Able was the
leading money winner, capturing
among other stakes, the Chamber or
Commerce at Detroit. and this was
the only race In which he lost a heat.
Grand as his showing then was. he
did not happen to run across anything
like Earl. Jr.. and Independence Boy
in his trip, SO the outcome OF next
weeks race Is In doubt.
On what he did last year and start
ed off with at Kalamazoo last week.
Earl, Jr., is held In highest regard.
This splendid gray PAGER has been q
grand horse for "Longshot" Cox. the
clever Yankee trainer, and II he Is
forced to do 1t, he probably Will lower
his record OF 2:03 Ia.
Although beaten by Earl. Jr., the
friends OF independence Boy insist
that that horse must not be left out
OF the reckoning He won a heat In
the race at Kalamazoo, which was the
first time Murphy ever drove him and
for this reason he should be better
when he reaches the state fair track.
