Belmont Park in Nassau County. It has boon definitely settled that the l.clmont Pnrk race course is in Nassau County. Almost evr since the establishment of the big racing ground, there has been much dispute over the line between Nassau and Queens Counties. The attorney for the WestHiester Racing Association visited Albany Tuesday, for the purpose of ahtaiaiag a definite decision as to the boundaries of the two counties. The attorney general, in a five pace decision, has forever set at rest the controversy. The track is entirely in Nassau County and. accordingly under the jurisdiction of the officers of that county. Mr. Belmont was delighted with the outcome of the Juvenile Stakes and was warmly congratulated by his friends. It was remarked that not a more decisive victory had been scored in a big two-year-olds race by horses wearing the famous tscarlet and maroon, since the day when Potomac :.md Masher ran first and second in the Futurity iStakes for Mr. Belmonts father. The winner of the Juvenile is bred in the purple and is a brilliant example of the number nineteen family. Luciillite represents Mr. Del nts highest ideal in breeding. His dam, I.ucky Lass, is by Ormon -dale, through which he gets the Ormonde and P.end Or Wood. The dam of Lucky Lass. Lux Casta, was a daughter of Donovan and through her yesterdays winner inherits the Jalopin and Hermit strains. "Lux Casta will be remembered as having run second in the Futurity to Yankee, while she won numerous good races in the colors of H. T. Oxnard. Mr. Belmont had his eye on her daughters for . some time and owns another called Luxury, from which he expects to breed a good horse. Trap , Dock, the sire of Luciillite, is a brother to the great Tracery ami it seems that yesterdays winner will be the best two-year-old of the year. Haggle, while running in the first race, was cut down so badly that she will have to be retired to , ithe stud. Htromboli pulled up lame after his race in the Toboggan Handicap. Frederick L., seven-year-old son of Dick Finnell Huxie, will be added to the sale of racers to be sold in the paddock Saturday. This horse is the property of II. 0. Hallenbeck and several years back possessed an enviable record as a sprinter. W. R. Mizells Robert Bradley has gone amiss and 4t ia doubtful if be will start again this year.
