+ + CONDENSED HISTORY OF THE BROOKLYN HANDICAP + A Although vastly cut down in value, the Brooklyn Handicap is still a high-class magnet in racing. It is to be run this afternoon with a field of horses named to go to the post that embraces the best racers of the year. It will lie a race well worth witnessing if only two such cracks as Celt and King James should go to the post. As a matter of fact, no mutter how many horses start, the meeting of this pair will be the central lioint of interest of the race and partisanship lietweeu them will be at a high point of tension. The record of the Brooklyn Handicap is as follows: Year. First. Age. Jockeys. Wt. Second. Age. Wt. Third. Age. Wt Val. Time. 1887 Dry Monopole 4 A.
