METROPOLITAN WEIGHTS. Weights for the Metropolitan Handicap, the first really great handicap of the New York turf campaign, were announced yesterday. In general, they follow the lines of the weights for the Brooklyn and the Suburban, but are pitched on a slightly lower scale. Being a dash of a mile the Metropolitan has been several times won by three-year-olds. This year it has a number of smart performers of that age in at light weights, and it will be nothing strange if the winner comes from that division. The weights are as follows: Horses. A.Wt. Horses.
