n. Y, Aug 15.-The ninth renewal of the
Futurity stakes, the richest event on the
American turf, was won this afternoon by
Marcus Daly's English bred colt Ogden,
by Kilwarlin- Oriole. The winner led from
the quarter-mile post and won easily by a
length and half from the favorite, G. T.
Patterson Company's Ornament. who de-
feated J. w. Rogers Rodermond by a
scant half length fer the place. Ogden
covered the distance in Ito, which makes
a new Futurity record, the best previous
time having been IL, made by The But
terfies in 1894. Tuberville, the Western
jockey, who rode Ogden. made his debut
in the East in this race.
Not more than 10000 people visited the
track by the sea, where cool and steady
breeze furnished a refreshing contrast to
the heat of the city. The lawn was look
ing it's brightest and greenest after the re-
cent heavy rain and the grand stand, al
though showing a great many spare seats,
held fashionable throng, whose presence
lent an air of gayety and animation to the
scene.
OF course nearly all the interest centered
in the big event, but the third race, the
for a full share of attention. Gotham
won by a scant length from Hanweli, II
to 1 shot, with Buck Masse third a neck
in front of Rubicon. Ben Brush was
fifth.
After the fourth race a general exodus
to the paddock was made to view the
Futurity candidates. The general opin-
ion was that they were a rather poor lot
OF two-year-olds. Ornament came IN for
the greatest share Of attention, while
Rhodesia, Challenger and Marcus Daly's
pair, Ogden and Scottish Chleftaln, were
not without friends.
In the ring, Ornament was installed
favorite, opening s to 5. but closing at 9
to and to the place. Rhodesia was
not in demand at TO 2, and the post bet
ting was 13 to and even. The Daily pair
was coupled at the close at and 3. Chal-
lenger coming next at to and to l,
while Is and was obtainable about Rod
ermond.
Ornament with Sloan up and Rhodesia
with Sims in the saddle came in for some
faint applause IN the preliminary canter.
Taral, who was on Scottish Chieftain, was
also noticed by the crowd, but Ogden and
TubervilIe were allowed to pass without
commend. 1t was about minutes after
o'clock when shout from the grand
stand announced that the flag had fallen.
Ornament had slightly the best OF a rather
struggling start, with Rodermond second,
Rhodesia third and Bastion, Ogden, Scot
tish Chieftain, Box, Challenger, News
gatherer and Panmure IN the order named.
After the first furlong or so the copper,
silver and green flashed in the van as Tu-
berville brought Ogden to the front and
led Rhodesia by head, while the favorite
I .k.s. ,b.o
lying third. This was the order at the
quarter-mile post.
AS they swept up 10 the three -eighths
pole the Western jockey let out a link and
Sloan brought Ornament up within half u
length of the leader, while Rhodesia took
third place from Rodermond, Taral on
Scottish Chieftain lying close up, fourth.
At the half there was no relative change
in the positions of the two leaders, but
Rodermond again wrested third place from
Rhodesia, aJiwhom Sims began to work.
Despite all his efforts the white and blue
colors were beaten and passed. by Scottish
Chieftain.
A furlong further Ogden increased his
lead trihe over Ornament and now led by
three-quarters of length, while the favor
ite was a length and a half in front of
Rodermond, with Scottish Chieftain and
Rhodesia beaten off. Coming down the
stretch in the last furlong Sloan got at his
mount with whip and spur, as also did
Hill on Rodermond, but they could not
gain an inch on Ogden, on whom the West
ern rider was sitting still.
The son of Kilwarlin and Oriole in
creased his lead in the last sixteenth and
passed the judges length and half In
front of Ornament, with Rodermond
third. The small Western contingent
which had come to see Tuberville ride
nearly went wild with excitement They
L kS1fr- IL. a
yelled themselves hoarse In front OF the
Judges stand.
Tuberville's face fairly beamed with
smiles as he was lifted into the customary
doral chair and waived his green cap in
response TO the cheers which greeted him.
The value of the stake was $57, 290,
s47, ,290 of which goes to the winner, $3606
TO the second horse and 1888 10 the third.
The remainder is divided between the
breeders of first, second and third horses.
