Not more than 10000 people visited
the track by the sea, where a cool and
steady breeze furnished a refreshing
contrast 10 the heat OF the city. The

lent an air of gaiety and animation to
the scene OF course, nearly all che
interest cenSeTed in the big event, but
the third race, the fall handicap Tor 3
year-oldS, came in for full share OF
attention. Gotham won by a scant
length from Ranwell, a l2-to-i shot, wllh
Buck MaSsie third. a neck in front Of
Rubicon. Ben Burcil was fifth.
After the fourth race was over a gen
eral exodus TO the paddock was made to
view the futurity candidates. The gen.
el'al opinion was that they were rather
a poor looking lot of 2-Year-olds. Orna-
ment came in for the greatest share Of
attention, while Rhodesla, Channlenger
and Marcus Days pair, Ogden and
Scottish Chieftadn, were not without
frienGs.

stalled favorite, opening at to 5, but
closing at 9 to and to 8 the place.

After the first furlong or So the
copper, silver and green flashed in the
van as TubervIdie brought Ogden TO The
front, and led Rhodesia by a head,
while the faYOrite dropped back behind
Rodermond, who was lying third.
This was the order at the quarter-mile
