HAWTHORNE HANDICAP GOSSIP. Lucien Appleby is a doubtful starter, but Boots Durnell said in the paddock yesterday afternoon he may send the game son of St. George to the post if the field is not too large. He does not expect to start Caliban and says he may have to rely upon The Lady, in spite of her heavy weight. Harry Xews chance is well liked by a number of good judges, but there is a rumor that Charles Ellisons colt cooled out lame after his last work, which would leave Judge Himes, the winner of the Kentucky Derby, to run for the rich prize. Favonius is marked as a doubtful starter, and Charley Gray will make 106 pounds today in order to ride Potheen, but no one knows just what Sam Hildreths plans are. He has several entries in the race and probably will be guided as to what horses to start by the condition of the Hawthorne track this afternoon. Hernando is now regarded as a doubtful JVlnkrieid , will ride Red Comyn. Turney Brothers* Glen Water will be ridden by Birkenruth. Sam Fullens name appears in the list of starters* but well informed horsemen do hot expect him to take part in the race. Jack Demund, Jordan and Esherin have arrived and all three are reported to be sure starters Walter Hedges stated yesterday afternoon hedid riot know whether he would run Gregor K. Banter is not thought likely to go, nor St. Tammany. Lendln will carry Fred Cooks colors instead of Linguist, arid as the horses in this stable are in great form just now this lightly weighted three-year-old must be considered seriously. Henry McDaniel said yesterday evening he expects to start Au Revoir as well as Little Scout, and the Bennett entry was a warm favorite in Wellers book last night at 5 to 2.
