proved himself TO be the worthy son Of
noble sire bywiuning the great Futurity
stakes from a field OF nineteen competi-

was delayed at the post nearly half an
hour. Besides this the track was heavy
and sticky. In short 1t was just the day
for a light weight, but he yanquished all
of them, though one of them, Gallee,
gave him a hard fight for over a furlong,
and was only head bahiud at the finish
