ARLINGTON FUTURITY NEXTN Large and Classy Field of Two- E Tear-Olds to Meet Saturday. ♦ C. V. Whitneys Today and Other Futurity N Eligible* Starters in Biloxi Purse-Others Scheduled for Final Trials. • ARLINGTON HEIGHTS. 111., July 24.— With five candidates for the Arlington Fu- tl turity due to have public qualifying efforts s in the Biloxi Purse, feature of tomorrows £ Arlington Park program, and others sched- _, uled for final workouts in the morning, the field for Saturdays running of the 0,000 V •vent will take final shape. K As in the two previous runnings of the |, six furlong event, this years renewal may to reveal the colt or filly likely to be heralded as the juvenile champion. Ladysman cap- f tured the Futurity two years ago and went 1 on to be generally recognized as the title- s holder, while last year Far Star was vie-torious with Hadagal second, Singing Wood third and Mata Hari fourth. All of these, s especially Singing Wood and Mata Hari, t were rated as championship candidates, to t with the East hailing Singing Wood and the West Mata Hari in the final analysis. p Tomorrows main attraction will present a to Chicago fans Cornelius Vanderbilt Whit- t neys widely heralded Today, which has been f working in sensational fashion since his ar- s rival from New York. The son of Whichone r and Afternoon has started but twice, run- ■* ning fourth in the .Juvenile Stakes at Bel- j mont Park while racing greenly. This was f followed by a hollow victory in an over- t night affair in which he dashed five furlongs i in :59. He was considered a worthy foe i of Plat Eye in the National Stallion Stakes as a result of that performance, but he s bucked his shins and was unable to fill the ] engagement. ] Of the six juveniles opposing Today in Wednesdays dash of three-quarters, Max i Hirschs Dignitary, Elmer Dale Shaffers Top Dog, Hal Price Headleys Fort Springs i and Calumet Farms Nellie Flag are Futur- . ity hopefuls. On what they show in the rare i will depend their chances of being started ; Saturday. Prince Splendor, owned by Thomas C. Worden of Chicago, and Toro Nancy, property of Norman Church, of Los Angeles, were given important trials for the Futurity this morning. The former went five furlongs in a minute, flat, after going the half in :46%, being well in hand throughout. Toro Nancy, second to Motto in the Arlington Lassie Stakes, worked three-quarters from the barrier, going the first three-eighths in :34%, half in :46%, five-eighths in :58% and the full route in 1:12%. She hopes to emulate the trick of Far Star last year, this filly running second in the Lassie and then taking the Futurity. With 5,000 added by the Arlington Park Jockey Club and 2,820 paid in as nominating fees, the total amount of money in the i Futurity purse now totals 7,820. Each starter will add ,000 to this sum, so the prospects of the gross value exceeding 0,-000 are very bright as no less than twenty-two ■ youngsters appear to be pointing for • the event.
