THE FUTURITY Bacing will be resumed in the metropolitan district next Saturday when the fall meeting of the Coney Island Jockey Club will begin at Sheepshead Bay The feature of course will be the Futurity the richest twoyearold race of the year According to the bast obtainable in ¬ formation from turfmen who arc in a position to know the Futurity field will be made up of the following with possibly several additional starters startersHorse Horse Owner Weight Jockey JockeyNasturtium Nasturtium W CWhitney 129 N Turner Goldsmith W C Whitney 129 T Burns King HanoverW C Whitney 129 Cochran

From this list it will be seen that W C Whitney has a royal chance to win the big race Though the crack Watercress colt Nasturtium has not raced since Suburban Day he will go tn tho post in superb condition and will bo picked by the talent to win In fact with his stable mates Goldsmith and King Hanover the crack colt will make the Whitney stable a pow ¬ erful favorite in the betting Nasturtium has worked wonderfully well during the past week and has shown remarkable flights of speed He is a big strong rawboned colt a slow beginner but a whirlwind finisher It is for this reason that smart pickers believe that Nasturtium with good fortune and a competent ride should land the money says the NOT York Sun SunBut But for tho sake of argument if the Water ¬ cress colt should happen to lose or even fall down Mr Whitney has two other star perform ¬ ers in Goldsmith and King Hanover both of whom displayed increased winning qualities dnringthe past week at Saratoga Because of poor judgment on the part of Burns who won with King Hanover by beating Goldsmith a neck in the Grand Union Hotel Stakes the King is now compelled to ehoulder 129 pounds as a penalty instead of receiving the benefit of his maiden allowance had he finished in second OONTIKDKD OX 8BOOND MOB THE FUTURITY Continued from First Page place But even with this impost King Han over is such a strong colt that it is believed the added weight will not make much difference Goldsmith has been a steady consistent worker and yet some turfmen are inclined to believe that he has been asked to do too much of late Aa ha will have the benefit of a weeks rest be ¬ fore going to the post he is almost sure to bo a factor Nasturtium and Goldsmith will carry 129 pounds too tooIn In addition to being so well represented by his own horses Mr Whitney is credited with having a half interest in John E Maddens can ¬ didates Blue Girl and Yankee Blue Girl con edod to be tha best twoyearold filly of the year will be asked to shoulder 131 pounds be ¬ cause of her past triumphs and many persons believe that this burden may prove too much for the game daughter of Sir Dizon Bonnie Blue II Whether it is or not the filly is pretty sure to have a big following especially with Willie Shaw in the saddle Maddens other olor bearer Yankee is considered a dark horse of marked ability He is superbly bred by Hanover Correction and in his two races he has shown that ho has much undeveloped ability Madden thinks that Yankee may iurn out to be the horse of the race especially as he will have quite an advan tags at the weights August Belmonts Mas terman it is said has not yet disclosed his best form The colt began to develop high class racing qualities at Saratoga and has been improving so steadily that he will not be overlooked in the bstting Perry Bolmonts Numeral a chestnut colt by Juvenal Nnmeroat may prove a surprise At Bheepshead Bay where he is being prepared by Jack Joyner tho colt recently worked six furlongs in 1 13 with ¬ out much overexertion and for this reason it has been decided to start him John Dalys Baron by Goldfinch Lydia is another un ¬ known quantity except as far as private trials go and the fact that while finishing fourth in i race last Wednesday at the Spa he made a great rush toward the close after boing shnt out a greater part of tho journey journeyJames James R Keenes Telescope who by Horo ¬ scopeEmma C is a half brother to Commando is reported to ba fast Trainer Rowe is said to have mado up his mind several weeks ago that the colts work warranted a start in tho Futuri ¬ ty and if ho continued to improve ho might provide an upset for the public Telescope has not been seen in any of the big races and for that reason the general public cannot pro ¬ cure a correct lino on his worth until he has been watched in an actual struggle from flag to wire Green B Morris Canard winner of the National Stallion Race at Morris Park has been resting over sinco but it is said of the colt that ha has done some great work in the past few weeks and will bo worth a bet even though he must carry top weight 131 pounds Capt 8 S Browns Hyphen has been in much hard luck all the season Ho is a sterling per ¬ former and will have a following as ha has al ¬ ways enjoyed one in the past pastThere There is much cariosity shown as to tho probable performance of Clarence H Mackays recently acquired colt Heno wha was origi ¬ nally the property of J E Madden Hono nover has started in a race but so far as work goes ho can be put down as a brilliant gem In addition to this field it is possible that we may see Albert Featherstonos crack filly Hat aaco who broke a record at Sheepshoad during tho spring meeting F M Taylors Juvenal colt Utopian the Pepper Stables Whiskey King A H D H Morris Compute and Saturday There is much regret over the fact that two of the best youngsters Barney Schreibars Otis and J G Follansbees Cameron are not eligi ¬ ble Both of them can bo rated high in tho ranks of the best of twoyearolds of which this season there is an abundance abundanceIn In addition to the Futurity next Saturday the card will be featured by the running of tho Inaugural Steeplechase and the Fall Handicap the latter event being tho first of the Autumn handicaps of 6500 for threeyearolds and up ward at six furlongs and for which are eligible the following
