Conditions for the Classic provide that non-winners of a three-year-old race be allowed three pounds and of such a ra- of 0,000 five pounds and of a sweepstakes. at any time, eight pounds. Therefore all opponents of Cavalcade and Peace Chance will be in receipt of either five or eight pounds, as none of them has won a stake worth as much as 0,000 this season.

Parrishs New Deal, William Sachsenmaiers Indian Salute and Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilts Discovery. In receipt of eight pounds will be Brookmeade Stables Good Goods, Hal Price Head-leys Thomasville and James W. Parrishs Howard.
