! j CONDENSED HISTORY OF THE NURSERY HANDICAP. G Tho "forty-fourth renewal of the Nursery Handicap will be run at Belmont Park this afternoon. It is one of the few fixtures of the American turf that has been run so long and Belmont Park is the third tiv.ck over which it has been contested. Its home was at Jerome Park originally. Then it was moved to Morris Park and finally to the magnificent big course of its present place of decision. Won first bv one of tile grandest mares that ever started in it, it was then won for three more years in succession by fillies before a colt carried off its honors, that colt being Harry Bassett, one of the greatest of the band of I mightv racers owing their paternity to Lexington. Following him such celebrities as Joe Daniels, Wid-idle. Rutherford, all of which endetl their days in California. Olitipa. Duke of Magenta. Sensation, Dew Drtm. Firenze. Yorkville Belle, Ben Brush, Plaudit, Ethelbert, Kings Courier, Bellario. Eugenia Burch and Perverse have hail their names inscribed on its list of winners. A big entry list made it an event of great value when Yorkville Belle won from Dagonet, but as a rule it has been one of the middle grade stakes in point of value, but nevertheless one strongly coveted by owners. Its long record is as follows: Year. First. Jockeys. Wt. Second. Wt. Third. Wt. Val.
