Mrs. Helen Sagners colt has been entered in four of the 10 outstanding numbers. These are 0,000 handicaps, the Inaugural and Pageant, at six furlongs, and the Boardwalk and Absecon, at a mile and an eighth. Last named is the only one of the quartet limited to three-year-olds. . Early nominations to the stake headliners, which close on Thursday, July 1, now are flowing steadily into the offices of the association, and it appears that all 10 will be well patronized.
