official information concerning the
Norfolk, Va, races in the Morning
Telegraph. FIVE youngsters are eligible
TO start in the Exchange handicap, nine
IN the Monticello hotel handicap, eight
in the Merchants selling race and six
in the Lynnhaven hotel stakes. The
juvenile representation In the specials
for horses of all ages is high both as
respects numbers and quality. There
will therefore be variety to the rae
ing here the last fortnight OF Novem-
Der which none of the Eastern tracks
was able to offer. In Canada and at
Laurel and piuaiico the two-year- odds
raced with their own kind. 1t was
easy enough for the regulars TO figure
then In sd far as ngures counted.
Down here, however, the proposition
will be hard, because little or nothing
is known Of the ability of even the
best of them to sustain their speed at
greater distances than e-eighths VI
"a mile with horses scnooled to distance
racing.
The race goer il out TO discount the
two~year- odds abilities when ne tackles
horses of matarer years at such dis
tances as one mile and one mile and
a sixteenth. And rs a rule II takes a
smart youngster to make a showing In
such races. But there have been two
Sear-oids which cou,d put ii all over
