TWELVE IN FOREST CITY Crack Juveniles to Compete in Stake at Thistle Down on Saturday. Darby Dan Farm Names Pair, With Darby Dienst Top Weight : Small Fields Entered. CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 28. Twelve top-notch juveniles, representing eleven interests and the leaders of this age quartered here, were named for the ,000 added Forest City Handicap, which will have its fourth running as the feature of tomorrows Thistle Down program. The Ohio-owned Darby Dan Farm is represented by Darby Dienst and Darby Dallas, and the former will carry the top burden of 119 pounds. Dream Boats assignment of 116 pounds puts her on equal basis by the scale and the speedy daughter of Boatswain, which has four victories, one of which was the Moslem Temple Stakes, to her credit, has trained in fine style for the Thistle Down Course dash. Dream Boat will have the services of Patterson Milligan, who handled her in her two Detroit triumphs. ARRIVALS FROM CHICAGO. Darby Dienst and Darby Dallas are recent arrivals from Chicago and the latter defeated True Star and others on Wednesday. That effort was over a muddy track and, in the event todays partly overcast skies do not bring more rain, the racing strip should be near its best condition for the half-holiday sport. The real dark horse in the field is J. A. Blackwells Miss Ethel. She defeated a fine field at North Randall in the Juvenile Handicap and will carry 115 pounds. Considering her sex allowance, Miss Ethel will be called upon to concede weight to Darby Dallas and True Star, who are also assigned 115 pounds. Next in line of weights is Frost Flower, which graduated from the maiden ranks at her last asking. She will carry 113 pounds. Of the others, Beauzar probably will command the most attention. After a hard-earned victory at Detroit, Beauzar moved to Thistle Down to turn in a corking effort and he appears to be an improving juvenile. SUPPORTING FEATURE. Supporting the feature will be the Gates Mills, a run over one and one-sixteenth miles, and Mrs. E. L., Martins Supreme Sir will carry the top weight of 114 pounds. Winner of the Pontchartrain Stakes and the Test Handicap, Supreme Sir, which ran as Imperial Sir until his Test Handicap victory, has a hard task confronting him, for he will be called upon to concede considerable poundage to older performers. Autographs allotment is 109 pounds and OBantam gets in under 104 pounds. With small fields named for several races, a substitute race was carded to be used in the event one of the original races is declared off tomorrow.
