TURF CHAMPIONS TO MEET

Keene's Maskette and Hildreth’s Fits Herbert In Race at Aqueduct. New York, Oct. 26.—James Rowe, representing James R. Keene, and Sam Hildreth, speaking for himself, state they see no reason for keeping Keene's Maskette or Hildreth's Fitz Herbert out of the Aqueduct race in which they are entered today. It these two leave the barrier on equal terms, turfmen will see the race they have been dreaming about.''” Fitz Herbert is recognized as the champion of his sex and Keene declares lovers of the thoroughbred have never seen a cleverer Ally than his pet, Maskette. The colt is carded to carry 129 pound* and the filly 126.
