PREPARATION FOR WALDEN Training Gallops of Various Candidates for Last of Big Juvenile Stakes to Be Run Today. BALTIMORE, Md., November 9. Several of the two-year-olds named for the 0,000 Walden Handicap, at Pimlico tomorrow afternoon, have raced so recently that the public has an excellent idea of their present condition, but others have had most of their preparation in private, and it is interesting to discuss the chances of the different candidates. Sallys Alley, by her vctory in the second division of the Pimlico Futurity and her race on Tuesday in the mile of the Pimlico Futurity Cup, is one that needed little other training. Wayland had her on the track this morning and she was permitted to go along three-eighths in 3D, and it was enough to suggest that the above-mentioned races had done her no harm. Martingale, the J. S. Cosden colt that beat SallysAAllcy in the Pimlico Futurity Cup, was another that needed no further training, and William Garth let him gallop this morning for a good five-eighths in 1 :02 after lie had run tlui first half in 4S73. Dunlin, his stablemate, and the topweight in the handi-cap, has betn asked little since his race in Continued on eighth pase.
