Rsquittal Wins the Great Futurity in
Very Handsome Style.
THE FAvORITES FAR BEHIND
Axiom Gave 1t Up-Crescendo. In a
Dashlng Race. Gets Second
Place and Silver II.
Comes In Third.

IL was 4.4o O'CLOCK wnen the pugie
called the horses to the post, and 20 OF
them paraded up the stretch past the
grand stand. Axiom plunged badly
and, in one of her jumps. injured Hand
spring. He was badly cut in the hook,
but ran n grand race in spite of It.
After a long delay at the post, the red
flag Of the starter swished through
the air. and there was dull roaring
from the crowd.
Taral was first to show on Peep o.
Day, then came Requittal, followed by
Formal. Crescendo, Silver H.. and the
others close up In an excellent start.
They did not vary much in position In
the run to the eighth pole, but when
they reached the quarter. Crescendo
had the lead only a head In front Of
Axiom. who was head in front of
Requlttal, who was leading Formal.
It could be seen that Requittal was
in the fifth place. Handspring was
sixth. in spite Of his injured leg. Ap-
plegate came next. and so close to-
gether were the 20 that 1t looked like
a charge Of cavalry.
As the winners flashed past the three
eighth pole, with nearly half the dis
tance run, Crescendo had increased his
lead over Axiom to half a length. Al
the half-mile pole. where the futurity
course comes into the main track. is
the spot where the faltering usually
comes. and there 1t was that the fleei
filly. Axiom. had gotten enough. Cres'
cendo was still leading by half length
and Requittal still hung on. Hand
springs white nose was not far be-
hind, in fourth place. Formal was there
too. and Silver H.. Hastings and Ap'
plegate hung on like grim death.
The squadron Strengthened out for Q
quarter-mile dash. but 1t was badly dis.
ordered. With each stride the leaders
widened the gap between them and the
main body. The hve-eights pole was
close at hand. when Griffin went pasI
Carr like a whirlwind, and Requitta
was in first place. Then Carr begar
to fog Crescendo. At the last pole
with only a furlong to go. Requitta
had a length the best of 1t and was
going easily. Crescendo was no longer
dangerous, but Silver ii. was coming
fast out of the bunch. while Hand
spring was fourth. Hastings had
climbed into fifth place, while Formal
was sixth and rapidly losing ground to
Applegate.
A hundred yards were left to run
and only two were left. The squadron
of cavalry had been broken into an ir.
regular body. strung out into a six.
teenth Of a mile, with Requittal gallop.
ing easily at the head and Crescendo
laboring along. a length and a halt
behind. Then came Silver H.. Hand
spring, Hastings and Applegate. with
no daylight between them. The rest
strung out. with Axiom at the tail ot
the procession.
Still Griffin steadied Requittal and
at one minute. eleven and two-fifths
seconds, after the fall of the flag, he
crossed the imaginary line amid the
cheers of $1,000 spectators, length to
the good. although he could have made
it more had he wished. Crescendo was
fogged into second place, four lengths
in front of the next horse. Silver H.,
who only beat Handspring by a neck
with the high-prlced Hastings fifth and
Applegate sixth.
Thus Griffin won his fourth consecu-
| tive race of the day, and was hoisted
into the jockeys chair, while the crowd
cheercd. By this ride he made s53.75C
for David Gideon, who, by the aid OF
John Hyland. one of the best trainers
in America, landed his third Futurity
and the second in succession, Butter
flies being the winner a year ago, and
His Highness In 1891.
For running second Crescendo got
$5,333 and Silver II. received s2.667 as
third money. The Brookdale stable
gets $4,000 for breeding the winner and
$500 goes to the breeder Of Crescendc
and $1,000 to the breeder of Silver II.
In the first race, there was some
brisk betting. Religion being the favor
ite. Kamsin won easily. while Religion
could do no better than second. DOM
ino was an odds-on favorite in the sec,
ond event. The long delay at the post

only get within a hands breath OF the
