New York. Aug 15.---The Great Flu
turity stakes of the Coney Island Jockey
club is over and the ninth renewal has
gone nito history with an outsider as
the winner Theday was well-nigh per-
feet and the 10000 people who filed the
grand stand and lawns were out in holi-
day attire to watch the contest which
is supposed to stamp the best two-year
old of the season.
At exactly five minutes to five the
bugle called the ten contestants TO the
post and with little enthusiasm the
troted past the stand up to the chute.
One. two and three false breaks We're
made. with a number Of single break
always, and after a delay of twenty-five
minutes, they were sent away in fair
order, with Ogden in the lead, Box sec
ond. Panmure third and Rhodesia
fourth. They did not shift in their posi-
tons until they We're at the quarter
pole, and Ogden was still in front by a
head only, but Tubervine had him well
in hand and was waiting for the final
rush, trying to kepe all he could up his
sleeve.
The crack Keene FLY, Rhodesia, was
next, hut Sinnns was at work at work
on her and she was but a head in front
of Rhodermond. on within H1l was do
ing his best. Next came the faVorite,
Ornament, and it seemed then as if the
race would be between these four. as the
others were practically in the second d.
vision and struggling hard to get UP to
the flying leaders. The good thing"
Challenger. was fifth and laboring, while
behind were Panmure, Box and News
gatherer, already out Of the contest,
while Taral had Scottish Chieftain well
In hand for the finish.The speed was
quick now and Tuberville urged Ogden q
trifie. He shot little ahead of Orna-
uleut, VINO had passed Rhodesia. the
ely being a little in advance of Roder-
mOnd. while Taral had carried Scottish
Chieftain past Challenger, A beaten
horse. AS they rounded the bend into
the main track, Sloane began to work
still ha S1er on Ornament, but his work
was but Of little avail, for in front Of
him was the coper-and-green jacket of
Tubervtlla on the other westerner, Og-
den, still eading by half a length. Ro-
dermond had by this time passed Rho
deSia, who had got enough Of it and was
trying to quit in spite of all that Simms
could do. Taral was trying his best
with Scottish ChiefGain and was gain
ing finch by inch nthe FLY. who was
slipping back slowly but surely.
They were now around the turn and
each boy could see the big purse hung
up at the judges stand, with chances
for only four Of them. The fiKe-eighths
was in sight. was passed, and the boys
Were working hard. Tuberville still
had a half length the better OF Orna-
ment, with Sloane unable to do much !
for his mount. as he was sadly tired and !
had worked his passage all the way.
He was length and a half in front Of |
Rodersnond. with the others absolute |
ly out Of it and all hope goe. With only
f. furlcng more, Sloane bert again TO
his work and seemed to be gaining a
tT'ife on the flying Ogden. when there !
den was gone. He was nearly two |
lengths ahead and all chances had van |
tslled. for amid the cries of the crowd, (
Ogden slid past the judges with s44, 300 |
as his reward. while Ornament had to /
be content with second place by half a |
length and 1866 &c. Rodermond was
I hird with s.. sS33. 50 while the others were |
way out badly beaten. The crowd |
then began TO melt away and by the !
time The hurdle race was run there were |
few left TO watch il.
After the first race. Gideon, the owner /
OF Ludwigshafen. had TO pay $500 10 |
retain him, as the colt was bid I'D that |
