A SHORT HORSE WON.

Chaos Captures tho Rich Futurity Stakos
 by Mock from St Carlo, tho Favorits-
 Rosounding Cheers Greet tue Victor and
 Jockey Day nt the CoHrlnsiop of the
 Grent Raco.
 Amid resounding cheers from tho throats of 10000 spectators at Sheepshead Bay Sep tember 4, Chaos, tho son of Rayon dor, and owned by w. L. Scott, the PennSyl- vania Congressman, galloped home with tho Futurity stakes, valued at about $60,- GOO, beating St. Carlo, the fav6rite, out by 8 neck He was ridden with excellent judg- ment by Day, the young English jockey.
 The day was somewhat of disappoint- ment, both to the club and to the people who went to the beautiful track to see tho contest for the greatest racing prize of tho year. The attendance was moderate In comparison with that great crowd which Rssembled to see the Futurity of year ago. when Proctor Knott, Salvator and Galen made such great fight for the prize. The interest in the race was greatly lessened by the fact that three of the best 2-year-olds of the year-El Rio Rey, Rumperta and Re- clare-were not in 1t. The race for the great Eclipse stakes at the Morris track had taken the edge oil 1t, for tho lot left to start were very moderate lot of 2-year- olds, who have been racing oil and on here abouts and shown themselves to Do of no particular account. So the race was noth- ing but scramble for Q very rich racing prize and nothing more.
 The time in which the race was run-l :t6 4-5-shows how very poor race 1t was. It was indeed most unfortunate that SC great e stake race should have had such 8 pitiable outcome The result, however, carries with 1t to breeders of racers valuable lesson one that should be remembered when tho next Futurity is opened for engagements- that is, that 1t pays oven to havo 8 mare's produce engaged for such stake, for 1t Is as apt to be won by poor colt as @ good one. Poor horses have taken 1t now two years in succession, while tho best steeds in each of the races could only get . place. But the place money is worth more than 8 majority of the two-year-old stakes that arc run for. No one will claim that Chaos Is the champion of the year because he won the Futurity. He Is simply the best colt of @ very moderate lot.
 Twenty-three youngsters started for the race. They paraded in front of the stand, making very pretty sight as they moved out of the paddock up toward tho starting point. MT. Caldwell got the lot away to very fine start, all the horses being in motion and with less than two lengths of distance be- tween Santiago and Kings Own, the first and last of the horses to move by tho post when the flag fell that sent them on their journey. St. Carlo, however, was in . very bad position to make Q winning race out of 1t.
 The entire lot ran well abreast through the chute and into the main track, at which point the leaders were Sinaloa, Chaos, Eberlee, St. Carlo, Penn P, Helter Skelter and Onaway, not one of whom had any ma terial advantage. When the lot were thor oughly strengthened for the run for home. however, Chaos and Eberlee, closely fol. lowed by Onaway, Helter Skelter, St. Carlo and Sinaloa, were the leaders and very evidently the ones between whom the prize was to be divided. ' Day, the young English lad who had the mount on Chaos, managed to keep hiu 1 going strong and well in his attempt tt shake oil Eberlee. The latter was ridden by the colored jockey, Isaac Lewis, who ap | parently lost his head when he found that
 the rich prize was 50 nearly in his grasp
 At all events he eloosened his colts head and
 began whipping and wabblinR about in hil
