AFTER MARYLAND FUTURITY Morvich, Kai-Sang, St. Henry and Other Stars to Contest for Big Prize. NEW YORK, N. Y., October 7. With the end of the metropolitan racing season rapidly approaching trainers on the New York circuit who have eligibles for the Maryland Futurity of 0,000 added in their stables are hard at work preparing their charges for that valuable stake. Morvich, the champion two-year-old, will meet the Rancocas "Stables Kai-Sang, which he has beaten in all previous races where the pair started, and also Montfort Jones St. Henry, half brother to Sir Martin and Sir Barton, which is regarded as a worthy opponent for the son of Runnymede. Morvich was not eligible for the Futurity run at Belmont Park, which was won by Bunting, and St. Henry was eliminated from starting in that race through an error. Kai-Sang developed an ailment a few days before the race and was unable to start. Deadlock will be St. Henrys running mate in the Montfort Jones colors for the big Maryland stake. J. E. Maddens Surf Rider, the Lexington Stables, Missionary and My Play, .C. A. Stonehams Monday Morning and the Foreign Stables Firm Friend are among the other starters which are being pointed for the Maryland Futurity. Trainer Fred Burlew said at Jamaica today that he is anxious to give New Yorkers another sight of Morvich before the close of racing here, but that the colt has been in constant training since spring and needs a short layoff from heavy training before the running of the Maryland Futurity. He added, however, that he may start the Runnymede colt on a metropolitan track before the close of the fall season, although he has not as yet come to any definite decision in this regard. Morvich in a three-eighths work-out today went the first eighth in 11, the second in 11. He was pulled up through the last quarter mile and finished the half in 51. J. E. Madden, breeder of St. Henry, thinks so highly of the colt that he believes he has a good chance of beating Morvich. W. Wallaces Horologe, which won his first start at Aqueduct recently, and J. E. Wldeners Runantell are other probable starters in the Maryland Futurity.
