2-.Year-Ol
In $4,000 Race
High-Class Youngsters to
Run i'm Great American:
AudaciOus Wins Feature
BY W. ]. Macbeth

Secretary Fred Rehberger of the
Queens County Jockey Club will pre-
sent the big holiday crowd of this
afternoon with one of the very finest
racing programs contested so far in
the East this season. There is plenty
of class and balance all through the
card, the feature of which will be the
running of the Great American of
$4,000 for year-olds at five fur
longs.
This running of the Great American
is likely to have more than ordinary
bearing in the general summing to
come later in the determination of the
juvenile championship. No less than
eleven high class youngsters have been
named over night, and almost every
prominent stable has at least one rep
resentative. The very best of the two
year-old.s that have shown so far, with
the exception of Harry Payne Whit
ney's colt Tryster and his FLY Pru-
derry and Walter J. Salmon's great
FLY Careful, which has suffered only
one defeat, are eligible and un-
doubtedly will start if the track is
fast.
R. T. Wilson has formidable pair
in the unbeaten Dimmesdale (among the
many heralded as a new Man O. War
and knight Of the Heather, both high
class colts Of proven ability. Briga-
der General. which ran Dimmes dale
to nose finish recently, will have an
opportunity for revenge Brigadier
General will race to-day in the colors
of the Glen Riddle Farm, which owns
Man O. War. This Light Brigade colt
was purchased yesterday from the
kingston Stable for $4,000.
The Bohemian Figures
But these are not the only formi-
dable two-yearolds which have vet to
settle the question of supremacy in
actual competition. The Bohemian, off
whose back Hummer was knocked at
the start of the Youthful Stakes, is re-
garded by many shrewd horsemen as
one OF the very most promising seen
this year. And then there is the
Greentree Stables Touch Me Not, pos

that has either run green or boted in
his starts at Belmont Park

The Brookdale Handicap for the

Three Close Finishes
The racing at Aqueduct yesterday
continued as spirited and exciting as
usual, three of the finishes being so
close none but the judges could decide
properly. NJ. L. Schwartz's Audacious
won the feature, the Hindoo Handicap,
at one mile. He raced the distance in
1877 25, the fastest mile of the meet
ing. Buddy Ensor, who had the mount
instead of Happy Buxton, waited on
Cromwells pace till the final quarter
and then came away to an easy victory
Pierre-au-Feu, which won the fifth
race at mile and a furlong, pulled
up so lame he could hardly get back
to the judges stand. He ran very
game race and not until the last fur
long was he able to get up with Wodan

JEFF Livingstons Orole beat out 8
field of seventeen high class two-year-
ODDS in the closing dash of five fur
longs. This one lasted just long enough
to stave off Normals gallant challenge
at the end. Oriole, Normal and Advo-
cate were noses apart at the finish.
