i 1 CONDENSED HISTORY OF THE COMMONWEALTH HANDICAP. The fourth running of the Commonwealth Handicap is to take place at Sheepshead Bay today, with every prospect pointing to a grand race. Whether Frank Cill is to follow the example set by Ort Wells, Sysonby and Sir lluon in making it a race notable for triumphs of the three-year-olds over older handicap horses or not, is one of the interesting problems of todays contest. Whether Dr. Gardner can stay a mile and a quarter at top sliced is another. The event is one of recent establishment and its record is as follows: Year. First. Age. Jockeys. Wt. Second. Age. Wt.
