Sporting Notes, The four great Eastern handicaps are now before the pub- lic, aod until they are ran off will be the general theme of conversation amongst horsemen. Speculation will immedi- ately begin, and good hard coin will be piled up for many weeks in anticipation of picking the winners. The Suburban of the Coney Island Jockey Club, one mile and a quarter, has 109 entries; the value to the winner should be about $7,500. This event was carried off by Troubador last season from a field of 19, the winner carrying 115 pounds. The same horse heads the list this year with 130 pounds up. The Sheepshead Bay Handicap, one mile and a furlong, has 97 entries against 93 last year, when it was won by Springfield from a field of 14. The winner is an aged horse, and his name appears in the list this year with 110 pounds on his back, the top weight being alloted to J. B. Haggin's Hidalgo, 122 pounds. The value of the stakes is about $3,000. The Bay Kidge Handicap, one mile and a half, has 62 entries, six less than last year, when it was won by Falconer, with 90 pounds up, from a field of seven. His name does not appear in the list this year, but Volante stands at the head to carry 126 pounds, the value of the Btakes being about $2,500. The new club, the Brooklyn Jockey Club, comes out with two good handicaps—the Brookdale Handi- cap, one mile and a furlong, for which there are 97 entries, Barnuni being the top of the list with 122 pounds. The Brooklvu Jockey Club Handicap, one mile and a quarter, has 73" entries, Troubador at the head with 125 pounds. This stake should net the winner $5,000. Sport is progressing. Woman—gentle, lovable woman—is taking a hand, and it is not a light one either. Women have appeared as peds, in sis-days' walking matches, as rifle Bhots, bicycle riders, gymnasts, equestriennes, and last, but by no means least, Jaguarine, th
