CAMBRIDGESHIRE RUN TODAY Twenty-Three Scheduled to Start in Famous English Fall Fixture. World-Wide Interest In Event Because of Connection With Irish Hospital Sweepstakes. Special Cablegram. NEWMARKET, England, Oct. 27. Twenty-three horses are scheduled to go postward tomorrow in the ninety-sixth renewal of the Cambridgeshire Stakes, one of the last important middle distance races of the English season. This is the smallest field since 1927, when there were only twenty-one starters, and, in a blanket finish. Medal and Niantic dead-heated, while a short head back was the previous years winner. Insight II., which carried the colors of the American sportsman, A. K. Macomber. He has also a representative in tomorrows race in the French-bred Tempest II., an outsider in the betting, as is the American-owned candidate, Mrs. Chester Beattys Hypothesis, quoted at odds of 40 to 1. World-wide interest centers in the running of the Cambridgeshire because of its connection with the Irish Hospital Sweepstakes, the results of which will enrich lucky ticket holders in the four corners of the earth. Moreover, this race is also the second leg of the autumn double event, one of the most popular mediums of play in this country. Tomorrows renewal of the Cambridgeshire has a gross value of more than 2,000 and will be run over the last mile and a furlong of the Cesarewitch course, a straight up-hill test. Class does not appear to be as well represented in this seasons Cambridgeshire field as in most of its past renewals. The top weight.

While he failed to race to expectations at Epsom, his chances cannot be overlooked here. Sir George Balloughs Daytona, 117 pounds, another of the three-year-olds that disappointed this spring, is also nicely weighted, as are James A. de Rothschilds Esquemel-ing, 114 pounds, and Arthur Sainsburys Noble Turk, 113 pounds. If the. last named horse runs back to the form that enabled him to win easily the ten furlongs Paradise Stakes at Epsom in May, he would be dangerous. It is said in well informed circles that William Barnetts Harina,, .114, pounds, es-pecially reserved for this race, is a rod in pickle. There is a touch of class in the Blandford filly, that should give her a chance at the weights. She has had only one race this year, which was at Goodwood In July, and she did well to finish second over a distance of one mile and a quarter, to Barrow by Gem, earlier the runner-up to Lovely Rosa in the Oaks Stakes at Epsom. DAN BULGER FAVORITE. , There is no denying that Sir Abe Baileys Dan Bulger, 111 pounds, is a useful campaigner, and on recent performances has been made the favorite. His connections are sanguine he will give his South African owner his second success in this important handicap. Raymond won for Bailey in 1933. The American-owned Hypothesis is another three-year-old that might surprise, and on his second to Montrose in the Duke of York Handicap early this month, the son of Diophonc and Hippy cannot be discarded. Mrs. C. Evans Holyrood, ninety-nine pounds, has the best chance of the lightweights. He scored early at Kempton Park recently, a point in his favor. The Cambridgeshire lightweights are not a particularly interesting lot Lord Harewoods Aldine, 106 pounds, also comes into the reckoning on a promising performance at Doncaster. Recently Capt P. G. A. Hanly"s Commander III., 115 pounds, showed some of his old form and he is of interest if for no other reason than that he won this race last year. It may be expecting too much of the six-year-old son of McKinley and Comenta to duplicate that success, which has occurred only twice during the history of this race, when the Irish-breds, Hacklers Pride 1903-1904 and Christmas Daisy 1909-1910, both hailing from the Neatheravon Stable of the late Jack Follon, scored in successive years. Hairan, 120 pounds, now owned by E. C. Eliot Cohen, a top class horse in his first two seasons when racing for his owner-breeder against Aga Khan, has shown little of late to warrant his being given serious consideration, even in such a wide open and well framed handicap as this years Cambridgeshire Stakes.
