PLANS ATTRACTIVE PROGRAM Cincinnati Handicap Heads First Saturday Offering at Coney Island Expect Good Field. CINCINNATI, Ohio, Aug. 3 For the first Saturday of racing at the Coney Island course of the Cincinnati Jockey Club, Jack B. Campbell, racing secretary, hopes to offer a program in keeping with the leading tracks of the country. The feature of the day will come in the Cincinnati Handicap, a race at one mile and a sixteenth, that probably will engage such renowned stars as Samuel Fursts Cincinnati-owned Bright Bubble, W. F. Hausmans Ridgeview, a winner of the Enquirer Handicap; J. T. Looneys Illinois Derby winner, Sweeprush; Reveille Boy, which carried J. A. Bests colors to victory in an American Derby; W. L. Johnsons Rip Van Winkle, holder of a track record at Jefferson Park; Leo J. Marks Morsel, which won a renewal of the Harold Stakes; C. V. Whitneys Contraband; Warren Wrights Warren Jr., and probably Lon Jones and Sons Fair Rochester. Several others of equal note will be seen under colors in this race that will be one of the many handicaps offered during the long six weeks season. A sprint at three-quarters that will serve as the fifth, will support the handicap and the best from that division is expected to contest the three-quarters. In addition to these two races for three-year-olds and over, the seventh race, also at a mile and a sixteenth, is for those of that age, a claiming affair at a top scale of ,000.
