New York. June 28. — Likely looking two-year-olds are beginning to blossom in profusion in this section of the country and this division of racers which, up to a short time ago. was decidedly disappointing. is now looming up with much better promise. Since the Aqueduct meeting oi*-ned Monday, at least six extremely promising youngsters have been shown anil statements made by trainers at the Long Island tracks, indicate that there are several others in the offing. One of the late additions to the juvenile ranks is lli-iii y A. Porters High Time, winner of the Hudson Strikes on the opening day of the Aqueduct meeting. Till-- s| ecdy sou of ITtlmus — Noonday, in addition to scoring over a fine band of two-year-olds, low- ret the former Aqueduct track record for five-eighth*- of a mile by one-fifth of a second. Whether High Time is as good as he appeared in his initial effort remains to Ik- seen, but all reports indicate that he is a colt of superior quality. Another promising two-year-old shown for the first time at the meeting at Aqueduct is Kternil. a brown colt by Swee| — Hazel Burke, and the iiroiM-rtv of J. W. McClelland. Eternal spread- eagled ids op|H nents in such decisive manner that he has liccii pla -ed in the list of itossibilities for gn ater achievements. If there is anything in looks. Kternal is certainly a topnotcher. When he was paraded to th liost he so far outshone his opponents in appearance that many a good judge of horses hastened to the omlizcrs to cover on previous transact ions on other horses. Still another good-looking youngster was introduced Tuesday in Harry Payne Whitneys Stickling. a daughter of Broortistick — Starling. Stickling bears the earmarks of her sire in bodily make-up. It might also M said that she ha- some of his disposi- tion. for she did not shirk under vigorous riding hy j.ickcv Robinson. Stickling made her second Bfpearaacc under colors Thursday and ran an im- proved race, finishing second to Polygon by a nar- t*W margin. Wednesday- three owners with "good things" dropped t!i in in the same race at Aqueduct. They fin-ishe-j line, two. three. iuostionnaSre, a brown colt by Bens -Frames, and owned by E. Arlington, got tiie decision, but there is a question in the minds of the spectators whether he will repeat over the other- in later racing. This is especially true of Hurricane, a Zeus — Nuuda colt from the stable of Andrew Miller. Hurrk-un" was finishing mighty fast and was gaining on Questionnaire. Toto, a bay colt by Hippodrome — Tripping, owned by John K. Madden, was only beaten by Hurricane in the last stride. He outpaced the others until the list sixteenth, when he apparently tired. He may no further next time and reverse Wednesdays decision. At any rate, the trio of youngsters made a splendid impression and it was the consensus of opinion that they will be heard from during the remainder of the season.
