TIE FUTURlTY RACE
What the Maidens Accom-
plished in Their Last
Trials.
BUTTERFLIES AFAVORITE
Gideon and DaIy's Flying FiIly
Covers Six Furlongs in
1:15 Flat.

GRAvESEND, Aug. "a, 1S94-Aspifants
for Futurity honors and the $4,000 in
money of the big race tomorrow at
Sheepshead Bay, yesterday did their last
trials on the Coney Island track and,
summed up, the moves indicate stronger
than ever that the favorite will be Cid
con and Daly's flying fiIly Butterflies.
The outcome of the race is still a puz-
zling problem to horsemen. for the un-
known quantity, represented by maidens
that have shown phenomenal things in
private, will be largely represented in
the Futurity field of 1894, but the pick
of nearly everybody is Butterflies, with
the proviso that she don't break down in
the race. She was sent six furlongs
yesterday and opened the eyes of all
the watchers by finishing it with great
seeming ease in Ills fiat, pulled up with
out a sign of lameness.
One other Wearer of the dark blue in
the Futurity will be Walter, but it is
settled now that keenan, will not start,
and Jockey Martin, who was engaged to
ride him has been released. Griffin will
ride Butterflies. Garrison, who was ex-
pected to ride Waltzer is also claimed
by Col. Rupert to ride Counter Tenor,
and there is some doubt about who will
be Walters Jockey. The next best move
yesterday was made by Mr. o. H P.
Belmonts BrandyWine, brother to Poto-
mac, the Futurity winner of 1890. He
went six furlongs and finished, ali out,
IN LIP. Brandywine will have the maid
en- allowance of ten pounds. The crack
5 Western lightweight, A. Clayton, win
SADIE RUNS WELL.
Marcus Daly's Sadie was worked out
six furlongs, and hustled through It,
will ride Sadie. J. A. A. H. and D. H.
Morris, Gutta Percha covered six fur
longs, and, stopping at the end, I'm
ished in Ills IL Fred Littlefeld will
ride her. Trainer John Campbell sent
Colonel Ruppert's pair, Counter Tenor
both colts doing it cleverly. Garrison
rode Counter Tenor and John Lemley
was on Manchester. The jockeys will be
the same in the race.
Chas Littiefeld, Jr's stout colt Con
noisseur, was given a mile at pacing
pace. and finished in hand in Las. He
race. At jerome Park. Trainer John W.
Rogers moved Perry Belmont's colt by
the lll-used Magnetism The colt was
tried last Monday fast enough to con-
vince Mr.. Rogers that he had chance,
and he is among the sure starters. Ber-
gen will probably ride him. A. F. Wal
5 a-other thai is intended to start. Ham
ilton has been offered the mount Louis
Stuarts Monaco is one of the really
prominent ones in the race, and he Will
go to the post to a certainty. 1t is very
probable that Simms will ride him, as
neither NJ e. Dwyer nor Richard Croker
has anything woth starting
j. f. and F. p. Keene will take the
outside chance they have with the
maiden Agitator, and jockey F'rN7 'EaI'9I
will have that obscure youngster 10
DOUBTFUL STARTERS.
The Oneck Stable IN all probability Will
rot be represented in the race, but II
Trainor Rollins decides to send one to
the post it VIII be California or Doggett-
In case Jockey Doggett's services are not
needed for the stable he may ride Con-
poisseur for Chas. Littlefield. If Pierre
Lorillard starts anything il will be Liza.
Among the doubtful starters are the
Madison Stables Sweden, w. LakelandS s
highly tried Emma c, Theodore Winters"
Rey EI Sierras and H Theobald's Super
intendent. Lucky Baldwins Santa
AIsta Stable has twelve entries in the
race, but will hardly be able to pick one
Byron McClellands Halma, by, Hanover
out of Julia l., has been persistently tip-
ped for the Futurity since last spring.
He is a sure starter and will surprise peo-
pie who saw him run one race at Sara~
toga.
The work of the candidates yesterday
is the chief topic of conversation here
today. Never in the history of the track
have so many horses shown such good
work as six furlongs in 115. A few
years ago six. furlongs in lis was con-
Sidered remarkable.
Mr. Belmont's Brandywine showed fast
work again this morning. He is ex-
pected to be among the first three horses
filly California, who worked yesterday
at Jerome Park in 117 has created
a good deal of comment. This Is con-
sidered as good as liza IL over the
Sheepshead Bay track.
1t looks now as if the first time since
the inauguration of the FuUurIty, that II
great surprise to see them run first and
second, and possibly third.
