There was none II that wild enthusiasm

Everything seemed changed this year. Tho

with other years. not more than $4,000 per-
sons being present.
The storm OF Thursday and Friday converted
the >hecpshcad Ray course into n millrace.

reached tho Bay ut noon yesterday they we're
surprised to find that the track. while far
from being dry. was not sloppy. the sandy soil
absorbing the moisture very rapidly. The
dark clouds lowered mcnacingly over New
York and BROOKLYN. and many of the pretty
women who grace futurity day by their PRES

Tho cause IS plain. There were only two
good two-ycar-oils engaged in tho Futurity,
and this. in conjunction with tho weather,
