mile post, and won easily by a length
and a half from the favorite, C. M. Pat

j. H. Rogers Rodermond by a scant
half-length for the place. Ogden COW
cred the distance in ITO, which makes a
new Futurity record, the best previous
time having been Ill, made by The
Butterflies in 1884. Tuberville, the
Western jockey, who rode Ogden, made
his debut in the East in this race.
Not more than 10000 people visited
the track by the sea, where a cool and
steady breeze furnished a refreshing
contrast to the heat of the city. The
lawn was looking its brightest and
greenest after the recent heavy rain,
nd
great many spare seats, held fash
ionable throng of gaily dressed women,
whose presence lent an air of gaiety
and animation to the scene. OF course,
nearly all interest centered in the big
event but the third race the fall handi-
cap for three year-olds, came in for
full share of attention. Gotham won
by scant length from Hanwen, II to
l Shot, with Buck Massie third a neck
in front Of Rubicon. Ben Burch was
fifth
After the fourth race was over a gen.
eral exodus to the paddock was made to
view the Futurity candidates The gem

poor lot Of two-year-olds. Ornament
came in for the greatest share of atten-
ton. while Rhodesia, Challenger and
Marcus Days pair Ogden and Scottish
Chieftain, were not without their
friends. Ornament was quickly installed

post betting was - to 5 and even The
DAILY pair was coupled at the close at 6
and 2, Challenger coming next at to 1
and to l, while tens and skies were OBJ
tanned on Rodermond
Ornament, with Sloan up, and Rho
desia, with Sims in the saddle, came in
for some faint applause in the prelimi-
nary canter. Taral, who was on Scot
tish Chieftain, was also noticed by the
crowd, but Ogden and Tuberville were
allowed to pass without comment.
1t was about sos when a shout from
the grand stand announced that the flag
had fallen. Ornament had slightly the
lest of a rather struggling start, with
Rodermond second, Rhodesia third, and
Raslion, Ogden, Scottish Chieftain, Box.
Challenger, News Gatherer and Pan
mure in the order named.
After the first furlong or so the copper
and silver and green flashed in the van,
as Tubervile brought Ogden to the
front and led Rhodesia by a head. while
the favorite dropped back behind Ro-
dermond, who was lying third This
was the order at the quarter-mile post
AS they swept up to the three -eighths
pole the Western jockey let out a link,
ard Sloan brought Ornament up within
half length of the leader, while Rho
desia took third place from Roderomnd,
Taral on Scottish Chieftain lying close
up fourth.
At the half there was no relative
change in the positions of the two lea
ders. but Rodermond again wrested
third place from Rhodesia, whom Sims
began to work. But despite all his eff
forts. the white and blue colors We're

his lead a trifie over Ornament, and now
led by three-quarterS of a length, While
the favorite was a length and a half
in front of Rodermond, with Scottish
Chieftain and Rhodesia beaten off.
Coming down the stretch on the last
furlong Sloan got ct his mount with
whip and spur, as also did Hill on Roder-
mond, but they could not gain an inch
on Ogden, on whom the Western jockey
was sitting still. The son of Kilwarlin
and Oriole increased his lead in front
of Ornament, with Rodermond third
The small Western contingent which
had come to see Tuberville ride nearly
went wild with excitement They
threw their hats and sticks in the air,
and yelled themselves hoarse in front
of the judges stand Tuberville's
bronzed face fairly beamed with smiles
as he was lifted into the customary
hot h &c ~,
resonse to the cheers which greeted him.
