Market Wise Works Five Furlongs These are not the only Long Island "name" horses to be lured, temporarily, to other racing areas for opulent stake events. Marise Farms Market Wise, runner-up to Devil Diver in last week-ends Brooklyn re-j newal, is to depart soon for Suffolk Downs and the Massachusetts Handicap. Trainer George Washington Carroll reported that Brokers Tips son came out of his engagement last Saturday unscathed, and this morning at Jamaica breezed five furlongs in :243, :4923 and l:024/5, by way of keeping fit for the Boston attraction.

Vagrancy is an eligible for the Massachusetts, though she has not yet managed to whip the horses for any of the handicaps, such as the Butler, Suburban and Brooklyn, in which she has appeared. In extenuation, it may be noted that in the Suburban she was in trouble and that she stumbled and all but fell at the break in the Brooklyn. "? _ , • : . j i ; | ■ [ i [ | I I I I i | I I I j
