q. HanIiton and the wellington stssies,
Tho closing day Of tho Coney Island Jockey
Clubs autumn meeting was q great success In
spite OF the ugly weather, and the 1000 persons
present saw some of the best sport of the year.
That game and speedy colt Ogden, winner of
the Futurtty Stakes carried 1875 pounds to vic
tory In the Great Eastern Handicap over tho
full straight course. beating that other good
colt from the West, Typhoon H., with Martin in
tho saddle. ]. r. q r. p. Keene's Voter was
third and J. NJ. Murphy's George Rose was
fourth. Ornament tho great son of Order. and
the conqueror of Ogden in ths Flatbush Stakes,
started, carrying l2S pounds-three more
than Ogden, four more than Typhoon H.,
and fourteen more than Voter. He and
Ogden were about equal favorltes in the
speculation. Tho start disposed of Ornament
tho chestnut colt getting away last Of ALL and
no far back that simms gave up all hope of finish
ing in tho money when the flag fell 1t ia unfor-
tunate that Ornament is such bad actor at the
post as IL is an enormous handicap whom tho

who was supcrbly ridden by Taral. wero in
clined to figure the superiority Of the Mon
tann-owned two-year-old over tho Kentuckian,
but all impartial judges will agree that yester-
days raoo was not nearly SO fair
test of tho respective merits Of the pair rs
tho Flatbush Stakes was. On that occasion there
were but three starters and the rivals met at
even weights. Yesterday Ornament had three
pounds tho worst Of the weights, and he got of
poorly. Credit. however, must be given to
Ogden. and Mr. DAILY 10 to be congratulated upon
the possession Of such q grand race horse. Tu-
berville was supplanted by Taral. much against
tho will of the DutchmaE. who did not want to
ride the son of Kilwarlin. Tuberville felt badly
over It and he may sever his relations with the
DAILY stable.
The other races of the day were not uninter-
esting, and the dash at one and half miles
over the turf course was ono of the best races of
tho year. 1t was won by Keenan,, but only by q
neck. while Marietta. Damien. Sue Kittie Vol
Icy. Deerslayer. and Goldcrest were only heads
and necks away in tho order named. Buck
Massie ran poorly in the handicap at one mile
and furlong, which went to Connoisseur. and
Hamilton. tho steeplechase rider, threw away
the last event Of the day, cross-country
scramble through the rain. with the ungainly
y,
the wire with old st. Anthony. That
remarkably good jumper, Red Pat was
favorte. but he fell when we'll up,
and going strong and easy. Hamilton made q
great deal too much use of Lion Heart, and the
short-bred geldinE stopped to walk in the last
half mile. Tho Jockey evidently thought he
had the race won. for he did not 90 to the whip
when Chandler brought ST. Anthony up with q
rush in the last hundred yards. He let Chandler
surprised when the brown horse flashed past
him at the wire. The stewards called Hamilton
and Canavan. the rider of winship. into tho
stand after the race. and later in tho day they
q inv stgated the running of the horses. The re-
suit OF their deliberations was q ruling to the
effect that all further entries made by the We'll
lington stables. owners of Lion Heart, under the
rules of the National Steeplechase Association,
be refused; that the license Of Jockey Hamilton
be revoked, and that the investigation be con-
tnued Monday at the track of the
Brooklyn Jockey Club.

Taral never rode better race in his life
and he deserves the highest praise for his bril-.
liant work. He never for moment acknowI-
edges defeat until the finishing line Is passed.
Typhoon II. is a good colt. and there is not
much difference between the son OF Topgallant
and the winner. Ornaments race yesterday
may be thrown out entirely.
That good hlly Scarf Pin was favorite for the
opening dash at iye furlong4. 1t was exclu-
sively for two-year-olds, and there was a lot OF
speculation on the outcome. Arbuckle was the
second choice, and good long price on offer
about the others. Scarf Pin was in front from
the start. and the pretty daughter OF Springbok
won IN hand. Coady riding her like an artist.
Don Bias came with a rush in the final furlonR
