NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 5.-The entire
active division of the racing stable of
August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey
Club, viii be shipped to jamestown at
the conclusion of the Pimlico meeting,
and the scarlet and maroon of the master
of the nursery stud will be frequently in
evidence during the autumn race meet
ing here, which begins Thursday, Novem-
Der Is, to last fifteen racing days. Gen.
eral Manager Bob Levy received today
tlse stake nominations of Mr. Belmont
which ne personally made, and the fact
is abundantly attested by their char
acter and quality that some of the
turf's pre-eminent two-year-olds will be
in the limelight continually, at the sea-
side course this fall
Each of Jamestown's four stakes
the Merchants Selling Stakes at six
furlongs, on the opening day; the
Lynnhaven Hotel Handicap, to be run
OF the Saturday following, at the same
distance; the Monticello Hotel Handi-
cap, to be run the following Saturday,
and the Thanksgiving Day Handicap,
on getaway day, admits two-year-olds.
and the choice lot of youngsters Oh
proved prowess which Mr.. Belmont has
nominated will be attended in the rum
ming of these stakes by company wor-
thy of their caliber.
Jamestown's course seems peculiarly
fortunate at its fall meetings for the
establishment on firm basis of the su-
periority of two-year-olds, which in
their older form shape up to the high
est stake caliber> 1t was at last au-
tumn's meeting That the youngsters
Tarts, Buskin. Briar Path, Trifier, Mary
Ann K. and His Majesty first came to
be acknowledged as having great pos
sibiiitles in their later form, and OF
these Buskin, Briar Path, His Majesty
and Trifier all have redeemed them
selves in commanding fashion this year,
while the others have given good ac-
count of themselves.
This fall, in the decision of all the
stakes but the Lynnhaven Hotel Handi-
cap which is for two-year-olds eXciu-
sively, the younger horses will be af-
forded another opportunity TO meet
their elders on equal terms, and IL VIII
be interesting to note, by the results
of these stakes, how well the margin
of class exposed at jamestown Will De
Yindicated next year -. --.. -
The recent sparkling showing made
by SuDeTI: Iendent Gotelus, Frittergolo,
Recession, and others of their class in
Mary and; the caliber which Hodge dis
played in Canada and seems to have
for the present at least lost in Ken
lucky; the performances of the Charles
ton champion Please Wales, which has
come back to the races in good form.
and similar capabilities on the part of
other two-year-olds. all of which are
nominated in the stakes here. make ii
certain that at least two and perhaps
more horses of the class of Buskin and
His Majesty will be returned winners
during the fifteen days of the meeting.
In the Merchants Selling Stakes, which
is for all ages, Mr.. Belmont has named
CTossbun, the brown filly by Peter Pan
Lucy Cross. This miss is half-sister to
erbox, and cn breeding lines is much the
superior of these two. Her dam was
sold for a small fortune, and Mr.. Bel
nonts faith in the mare as a producer
of stake-wiining stock has never been
lost.
In the Lynnhaven Hotel Handicap four
Of the best Belmont two-year-olds are
eligible, three colts and one hlly. He
has nominated F1ittergold, the full
brother 10 Fair Play; Fl taway, the
well-bu.lt and sturdy half-sister TO Field
Mouse and F1amma; Thornhill, the full
brother to the mighty Hawthorn, and
Ha' Penny, as well-bred a colt as ever
came from the Nursery stud. Ha' Penny
and Thornhill are also eligible in the
Monticello Hotel Handicap, the most
program, and they will be called upon,
as were HIS Majesty and Buskin last
year, TO cope with older stake perform
erS.
AS il appears now, the Lynnhaven
Hotel Handicap, which will be the last
important two-year-old stake of the
wear. will have a field of ten, including
- oteIus Fqittergold, Hodge, Please
NVelles, Superintendent. Undaunted, Carl
and others of similar caliber
With an equal adjustment of the
weights, it should prove a contest worth
going miles to see.
