J., June 25. — H. C. Fruehauf s highly respected Irish importation, Crocodile, is slated to make his initial American appearance here tomorrow in the featured Banquet Purse, which appropriately will be run over the turf at a distance of one mile. The four-year-old son of Devonian — Queen of the ; Nile was reportedly purchased by Fruehauf for 0,000 after last season winning three « races against some of the best European runners in England, and he at least impressed the veteran handicapper John B. Campbell enough that he assigned him an i equal highweight of 126 pounds with i County Delight for the recent Edgemere l Handicap, a contest Crocodile declined in favor of making his debut tomorrow. This event is the best of the few turf I events staged here thus far, and it will be in effect a prep for Crocodile and others 5 for the 0,000 added Longfellow Handicap, ! a turf fixture for which trainer Frank Kearns has been patiently bringing along his Irishman as his first stringent test on i this side of the Atlantic. Crocodile will 1 shoulder a nominal 114 pounds tomorrow [ and is expected to be made the favorite on his reputation alone. Opposing Crocodile over the grass course ; will be Craigwood Stables grey Palatial 1 Appetite, another Irish-bred who vaulted 1 from the claiming ranks last year to become i one of the most agile turf specialists in i New Jersey. He has not shown the dash i that was his last season in recent races, but this will be his first time this spring J over the grass. Still another Irish-bred will be given i notice tomorrow, Twin Oaks Stables 3 Unsinatus. His latest efforts must be improved - upon, but the change in racing I strips might make the difference. Probably the stoutest contention, and I perhaps the winner, will be drawn from 1 the native American stock, which will be 2 well represented by Kenilworth Farms s Thee and Me, Miss C. Morabitos My 7 Celeste, Mrs. E. H. Augustus Euclid and 1 C. A. Copes Helen May. i .
