CHICAGO WEDNES THE LATVRENCE REALIZATION REALIZATIONIn In a review of racing matters immediately interesting to New Yorkers tho Sun of Monday Bays BaysThe The meeting of the Coney Island Jockey Club at Sheepshead Bay will close on Thursday It has been remarkably succeEsfnJ not ouly in point of attendance bnt also in the high quality of the sport On the Fourth there will bo a card of unusual attractiveness It will include the eocond part of the Double Event of 310000 for twoyearolds the Lawrence Realization Stakes for threeyearolds and the Indepand once Steeplechase For the Double Event there is a list of eligiblos of Euch claes that a great struggle is assured The Realization which ia the richest threeyearold event of the year ia the talk of the turf now The only regret is that Robert Waddell is not eligible for with tho American Derby winner at the post there would be a definite answer to the question which is tho bett threeyearold of tho year Nine out of ten turfmen are ready to concede the fact that James R Keenes Commando and Conroy are at the head of the thieeyearold class but the wonderfully consistent running of Robert Waddell under conditions both fav ¬ orable and unfavorable makes it compulsory to claes him with the best bestIt It is roughly estimated that the Lawrence Realization will be worth close to 25000 Among the foal entries aro Commando Conroy and Olympian Commando will probably start as ho has been working well during the past few days and on Saturday he did a mile and a half in 210 with plenty to spare Conroy has not been used much of lato as his lameness has required plenty of rest Olympian of course cannot bo considered If Commando is fit turfmen predict that he will win quite easily Bnt ho will be up against a big field something he has not experienced this year Other foal entries are areL L V Bells b c Ordererby Order Extract A Featherstones ch c Mortallo by Knight of Ellorelie Moss Rose J L Hollands ch c The Golden Prince by Prince

Girls victory in tho Great Trial Stakes on Saturday only increases the doubt as to the question of supremacy between the champion Sir Dixon filly and tho crack twoyoarold colt of the year Nasturtium From appearances they will not come together for some time pos ¬ sibly not until the Futurity Turfmen have been divided in opinion on this point ever since Nasturtium was beaten by Blue Girl in the Great American Stakes on June 8 at Gravesend when it was plain to a majority of the specta ¬ tors that Nasturtium was so seriously fouled that he was knocked out cf all chance of win ¬ ning though at that he finished second to Bice Girl There might have been a meeting between the colt and the filly in the first part of tho Double Event on Suburban day but Blue Girl was scratched at the last moment the explana ¬ tion being that she was suffering from a slight attack of rheumatism There was another possible meeting between them on Saturday in the Great Trial but at a late hour Nasturtium was withdrawn because he had a coughing epell in the morning Though natur ¬ ally disappointed race goers are content to wait until they have seen those wonderful two yearolds do battle and decide which is the others superior in a fair square contest When they do meet it is safo to say that the betting will be red hot Whether BIuo Girl can defeat Nasturtium or not the fact remains that if the Sir Dixon filly starts in tho English Oaks of next year many racing enthusiasts will expect her to repeat the triumph of James R Koenes Cap and Bells BellsTho Tho defeat of Ethelbert on Saturday by Star Bright is attributed to two causes The first of all tnrfmon consider Ethelbort a much inforior horse to what he was a year ago His owner Perry Belmont however believes that tho son of Eothen will be himself again after a long rest Mr Belmont has accordingly decided to 1901 have Ethelbert fired and blistered and turned out of training for the rest cf the season Ho thinks the horses ankles aro too weak to stand further hard work on the track Tho second cause of Ethalborts defeat appears to have been the masterly jockeyship of Nash Turner on Star Bright The latter outgeneraled OConnor at every stage Some persons were inclined to balieve yesterday that had Turner been in Ethelbsrts saddle he could have ridden that horse to victory just as handy as ho did Star Bright BrightIncidentally Incidentally tho temporary passing of Ethel ¬ bert brings to mind the number of crack thor ¬ oughbreds that have gono wrong this year Clarenco H Mackays Banastar cut down in the Brooklyn Handicap is a cripple Kinley Mack winner of the Brooklyn and Suburban Handicaps last year has gone to the stud So has Standing another flyer in his day Bally ¬ hoo Boy of which great things were expected after ho won the Futurity last season has tnrnod out to ba a roarer and will never run again Verily the turf loses four stars in tboso racers racersOn On next Saturday the Brighton meeting will ba inaugurated with the Brighton Handicap in which all the cracks are expected to appear Indications point to a more successful meeting than has ever boon hold at tho Beach
