Manie OHara captured the Kankakee Handicap, under 109 pounds, came back to ■ account for the Steger, at 111, and then, after J set-back in the La Salle, returned to get a dead heat for first money with Her Reigh c in the Marquette, under 114 pounds. At 118 pounds, the Friedberg and Axton J filly will concede from two to twenty-two . j pounds to her rivals. In all, forty-six, in- J eluding the ill-fated Dehor, which suffered j fatal injuries in the Marquette last Saturday, were named for the Lincoln Handicap. Burning Star has been assigned 116 pounds, j J Her Reigh and Mucho Gusto, 115 each, and j Finance, 114. Agotaras and Miss Bonnie are e the light weights of the field, under 96 g pounds each. j If Mucho Gusto accepts the issue Satur- J day, he will be making his first start since e i J early in the year, when it was decided to give him a much deserved rest. He has been J I training in splendid fashion and his appear- r_ j | ance in Saturdays field would lend consider-i r_ able color to the stake, the last of eleven on Lincoln Fields program. The race, for three-i ;_ year-olds and upward, is to be contested at and a mile and a sixteenth, for a ,500 added purse. . I The weights follow: TInrse Horse. Wt. Wt. Horse. Horse. Wt.
