Takes Place
Tomorrow

ARLINGTON PARK. H., July
3O.-MrS. Ethel v. Mars Milky
Way Farm triumvtrate Of Tiger,
Sky LArking and C-Note loom as
strong favorites to win the sixth
running Of the richly endowed
Arlington Futurity, the six fur.
longs test for 2-year-oldS which
will be the feature Of the closing
day at Arlington Park tomorrow.
This powerful trio Of young
thoroughbredS- freely mentioned
as including the coming king Of
the 1887 diviSion-dominated the
field Of II probable starters listed
for the rich race by Secretary
Charles McLennan here today.
Last year Mrs. Mars, most lib
eral and Justly the most success
full purchaser Of high-priced year
lings in the past two years, won
the 1885 Arlington Futurity with
her Case Ace, which went on to
q striking triumph in the Illinois
Derby this spring.
Fine Riders
Trainer Robert McGarvey, the
plodding horSeman Of the old
school who conditions the large
Milky Way establishment, has
lined up a strong complement
of riders" to handle the Mars
trio Saturday. Alfred Robert
son, stable rider, will be up on
Tiger, hero Of the Washington
Park Futurity; blocky Charley
Stevenson, champion rider OF
America in 1885, will have the
mount on Sky Larking, winner
of the BaShford Manor Stakes
at Churchill Downs; and Ster.
ling Young, smart Canadian boy,
will pilot C-Note, q frequent win
ner during the early Chicago
campaign.
The. three Milky Way colts
represent daring investments in
the yearling mart. C-Note was
purchased for $4,000, third
highest Of the years sales: Sky
Larking cost $13,500, and Tiger
was bid in for $4,000, probably
the best bargain Of the sales.
If II start in the Futurity, the
race viii gross $48,1 100 and net
the winning owner $34,095. Own
er Of the second will receive
$4,000, third $1,000 and the
fourth $500. The breeder Of

the second $3.50 and the third
$3.50. .
Bull Lea Threat
Bull Lea, fond hope Of the Calu-
met Farm, owned by Warren
Wright, Arlington Park vice presi.
dent, is considered the chief
threat to a Milky Way double in
the Futurity. This fast son Of
Bull Dog, which will be ridden by
the accomplished jockey, Irving
Anderson, has trained brilliantly
for tomorrow's engagement.
This morning Bull Lea blazed a
sensational speed sharpener, whiz-
ling over the first quarter in 20 Is
and then being eaSed up in three
furlongS In :35 IS handily.
Hal Price Headley's Menow, Sec
ond to Tiger in the Washington
Park Futurity, also has been work
ing briskly. This morning the
homebred son of Pharamond II
reeled off the full Futurity dis
lance in :23 3-5, :46 IS, 100 and
1:14. He broke from the barrier
and was under a drive to the end.
Bourbon King, the other Headley
candidate, stepped the Futurity's
six furlongs in 1:15 3-5 yesterday.
