PROBABLE STARTERS IN THE FUTURITY Indications Point to a Email Field with Keono and Madden Entries Favorites The running of the Futurity is near at hand This greatest of American races for twoyearolds will be decided at Shcepshcad Bay next Saturday Usu ¬ ally the Futurity has been an open race with jrianv owners fondly hoping to land tlie fan ft and money attaching to its winning The most conspicuous ex ¬ ception was last year when the matchless Colin was a conceded winner long in advance This led to Its being contested then by the smallest field numeric ¬ ally of its hislory hilt eight going to the post The smallest number previously was in Ogdcns year 1S6 when ten twoyearolds started The greatest number starting was in 1002 when Savable won twentyfour then going to the post Seemingly postSeemingly the Futurity of this year is to be a duel between the representatives of John E Madden aud James R Keene There are a few twoyearolds in other ownerships that have run so well as to insure their being started but on the whole their chances of winning are the chances of outsiders This condition seems to foreshadow that the big event of next Saturday is to be contested by a field below the average in numbers Seventyfour two yearolds are eligible to start but so far as public running is concerned only the following seem likely to be started startedOwner Owner Horse

Madden Schleswlg Lady Bedford and Miss Kearney bnt it is thought that he will rely on his two champions Sir Martin anl Fayette Lawton Wiggins ivas entered by him but has been sold to Herman Brandt and might start for the latter Mr Keene has Footpad and the Meddler filly Affliction engaged as well as the three named and II P Whitney besides iPerseus and Hillside has the right to start Bobbin County Fair Sixty and the gelding l y Hamburg Daisy F Of these Sixty is a highbred brown colt by Diamond Jubilee Miss Hamburg that has not started These three powerful staHles seem to monopolize the situ

that Affliction is a real star reserved for tup Futurity FuturityHowever However the Futurity lias always Eone to a horscj already seasoned in racing and it is more than probable that it will jhe won
