caused the tongues of horseinen TO wag at
a lively rate yesterday. The universal opn-
ion was that Mr.. Daly's Colt was over
matched, and that II was piece of great
good luck 10 pull off the Futurty with the
Son of kilwarlin aud 0riole.
Mr.. Patterson was, of course. in high
feather, as he had all along maintained
the superiority of his colt over the Mon
tana-owned two-year-old. He realized when
too late that he had made a mistake in
not putting up a stronger jockey in the
Futurity, and he acknowledges that he
made q mistake when he elected to carry
eighteen pounds of dead weight on the hand
sUiHe son of Order.
The Fhttush stakes is generally ac
cepted each year as an indica tiou OF tn.ce-
year-oid form, and, barring Senator Grady,
1t has generally foreshadowed the form OF
the succeeding year. There is no doubt
that Ornament is a slayer, and there are
many who will always regard him as far
and away the best two year old seen here
abouts This year.
The Weslcrners have maintained for the
past two months that they have two year
olds capable of taking his measure: but
this statement must be taken with the
proverbial grain of salt, as Ornament is
now pounds better than when he first l7.
peared in the East last spring. His action
is of the kind which belongs TO stayers,
and barring his bad behavior mt the post.
IL would be hard to find a flaw in his
makeup.
ORNAMENT WAS STRONG.
Clayton, who rode him on Saturday. says
that he called on him at no tine, and th;Tt
he could have gone on and worked out a
mile i'll very fast time.
If Mr.. Voshurg adjusts the weights in
the autumn handicaps for o-year-olds so
that both the Messrs DAILY aud Patterson
think they are well treated. the public will
have anolhcr opportunity to see the crack
colts come together. II looked on saturday
as though the son of order could give ogden
at least five pounds and a beating.
Every effort is being made to bring abOut
q meeting between the great three ycar-olI

MaSSie and the speedy Clifford, but there
is title chance of success. Requital has

no doubt, be a great dra wing card. and
would prove in the end to be a horse race
of the sensational order, and the Coney

In fact, ever seen, according to the opinion
of qualified judges, but he would need to
give away much weight to a horse OF Buck

INVESTIGATING A SCANDAL.
The stewards Of the Jockey Club have, for
several days past, been investigating and
endcavoring to trace the alleged comDina
ton of owners, trainers and jockeys, whose
supposed operations at Brighton Drach and
ShecpShead Bay gave cause sDr 50 much
scandal, and something will probably be
given to the public before the close Of the
present week.
Men prominent in the racing world have
been summoned to appear before the gov
erning body of the turf, and If there is
anything in the matter it is bound to come

Mr.. Crickmore's program for Sheepshead
Bay this week is unusually promising. %.
Tuesday there is prospect Of seeing Re

and three furlongs. II he goes to the post
