EPITHET TO RACE AT ARLINGTON Jack Middleton, trainer of the Warm Stable of Silas Mason and Arnold Hanger, has assured Otto W. Lehman, president of the j Arlington Park Jockey Club, that he will have Epithet, Jamestowns only two-year-old conqueror, for which his employers paid i 0,000 at the recent auction sale of the stable of the Gifford Cochran estate, ready for the Arlington Inaugural, which should ! . gross about 1,000, at Arlington Park, June 29, and possibly also for the Classic. Middleton entertained little hope of getting a j horse that has done as little as Epithet did i before the Cochran sale, ready for a race , at Washington Park, but the son of Epin-ard . and Fairy Wand has trained well enough to make Middleton think he will , step a brisk seven-eighths the opening day , at the north side course. He is not so sure that The Nut, son of Mad Hatter and Afternoon, and winner at three of a Huron Han-day, a Lawrence Realization and a Latonia Championship, will be fit enough to hold I his own with the smart handicap horses three years old and over that will gallop one mile and an eighth for upward of 0,-000 in the Stars and Stripes Handicap July t 4, but for the 0,000 Arlington Cup and the | 0,000 Arlington Handicap, gallops of one mile and a quarter, the first named at t weight-for-age, later in the month will find The Nut right. The Nut, very wobbly on 1 his underpinning last season, has grown into a sixteen-hand, twelve hundred and fifty pound horse.
