nearer sclling-race class than Fnturty class.
Garrison rode Montana and had reduced 80
much 10 make the weight that he was weak IN
the saddle. There had been reports afioat that
Hamilton had been busy the night before in Gel
ebrating the Futurity in advance. Whether
those reports did Hamilton an injustice or not II
is certain that he never was in better condition
for riding in his life than when he got in Poto-
macs saddle. No criticism could possibly Dc
conjured up against mis- riding.
There long delay at the post, and many
breaks occurred These must seriously nave

trip from Monmouth Park had already
made her nervous and who was carrying llS
pounds, and concedirg by the schedule Z pounds
to the VICTOR Potomac, and much more TO the
lght-weights in the If the start had been
prompt. and nothing had happened to make the
weight tell on Ambulance or TO make her nervous,
she would undoubtedly have been much nearer
the front at the finlsh.
Little description of the race is needed.
Potomac's victory too easy too signal, TOO
impressive fair start was finally obtained, with
Potomac in a good place. but not in The
lead Rey del Rey, Russell, Montana, Potomac

ations throughout the first half mile, but soon

make il certain that he had the race safely IN
hand. Hamilton was not compelled to urge MN
after he had shaken him up and got him fully In
his stride. He remarkably easy race by
about four lengths. Bergen, with vigorous and
well-tmed finish Masher, got second place,
while the heavily weighted Strathmeath car

The value of the Futurity is estimated by Mr..
Mr.. Belmont, by winning both first and second
will get near $4,000; a magnificent prize, in
deed, and one that will reward him for any dis
appointments or reverses that he may have suffered
on the turf this year, and may even console him
for the death of his promising youngster. Fritz.
Potomac was trained to the hour, and his
faultless condition caused every one TO talk In
glowing praise of ROwes ability and skill as a
trainer Potomac is TALL powerful colt, with
great deal Of substance and power, with ire
mendous stride, smooth and level action, and
every sign that he will go on, develop and i'm
prove, and be a great race-hOrse in the future
as he is now. He decisively and with so
much in hand that every one con-
sented that he would have carried of
the Futurity of 1890 even if he had carried the
weight which Russell carried 13O pounds Rus
sells weight was too much for Russell, or the
colts temper was too uncertain. Hayward could
get him nowhere near place at the end. MI

Recluse was the favorite in the Dolphin Stakes
for three-year-olds, at a mile and furlong, ana
was ridden by Garrison. Perhaps Garrison lay
too far behind his field UP to tie homestretch.
Many observers thought SO, ana many
thought too, that he did not finish with any
thing like his usual fire and force But ohiS
failure was probably due to his wasting to rue
Montana. Reclare came in third, Ruperts who
was a strong second choice, winning easily with
Demuth second.
Bobbie Beach carried off the fourth race with
something to spare while FOxmede was second ah'
