The Rumson weights have already been released, and a representative field is expected for this six-furlong sprint. Racing secretary John Turner, Jr. will reveal his weights for the Monmouth on Monday. The latter is at one mile and a quarter and is one of the salient events of the entire meeting.

Among the nominees to the Monmouth, Turner, is expected to place highweights on Battlefield," Arise, Greek Ship, Crafty Admiral, County Delight and the Irish import Crocodile. The Attention Purse will be featured as the week begins on Monday, with seven sophomores meeting in this event at a distance of a mile and a sixteenth. Mrs. Alfred Roberts Little Greg is the leading candidate for the favorite role, with Fer- nando Fernandez to do the saddlework with 116 pounds. Also to figure prominently in the betting are S. P.
