Owing TO the liberal conditions Which

will try for this race, asfsAnericaDs do or

year when the Futurity candidates were
less formidable than they had been since the
inception of the stake.
1T WAS oGDEN's YEAR.
Ogden could not have won in Proctor
Knots year, ner could he have beaten His
Higness, Requital, The Butterflies or Po-
tomac, and there will always be an open
question in the minds Of the best Judges
who saw Saturdays race whether he could
have beaten Ornament had that colt been
ridden by q vigorous, energetic Jockey cap

Ogden and Ornament will probably meet

In no former year was the field so small
