Of greater racing importance was the mile and an I eighth handicap, won most impressively by 11. P. Whitneys Dinna Ken, a six year old that raced in Fngland last season. The bt st horse he met was R. T. Wilson. Jr.s high-priced Olambala. which latter was making bis tirst start of the season. Reports of his work were so glowing that he ruled favorite. In the running it was Kinna Ken and the even pace he maintained made his performance onion which to base the belief that he will ably repro H nt the Whitney stable during the season. Olambala was second and the race will doubtless do him good. He was giving Dinna Ken nine pounds. Trainer Ilea le» was conlident and was not altogether pleased with the showing of the son of On. us. It. F. Carmans Scmprolus ran a surprising race when, under 110. he made a show of smile smart two-year-olds. The remaining juvenile race went to Winning Widow and Mellow mint was an easy winner of the steeplechase. In the last race Ton Note took the measure of Jeanne dArc. Ed Ball started for the Bevorwyck Stable in this race, and against the advice of II. ;. Bedwell. his formec owner, be was equipped with blinkers, and as a result was left. Jockey Notter has lieen engaged to ride Olambala in the Brooklyn Handicap. Shackleton ami Dolphin, in the Haggin string, are bath coughing and have high temperatures. This will make If impossible for Shackleton to start in the National Stallion.
