NEW YORK, Augl 15.-The great
Futurity stakes of the Coney Island
locked club is over and the ninth re-
newal has gone into history with an out
slider as the winner. The track, while
little heavy. was in good condition.
The day wos we'll nigh perfect and the
10000 people who filled the grand stand
and lawns were out in holiday attire to
watch the contest which is supposed to
stamp the best 2-year-old of the season.
At exactly five minutes to the bugle
called the ten contestants to the post
and with little enthusiasm they trotted
past the stand up to the chute. One.
wo and three false breaks were made,
with a number Of single breakaways
and after delay of twenty-five min
utes they were sent away in fair order.
with Ogden in the lead and Box second,
Panmure third and Rhodesia fourth.
They did not shift in their positions un-
til they were at the quarter pole and
Ogden was still in front by a head only,
but Tuberville had him well in hand and
was waiting for the final rush.
The crack Keene filly Rhodesia was

she was but a head in front of Rode

Next came the favorite, Ornament, and
it seemed then as II the race would be
between those four as the others were
practically in the second division and
struggling hard to get up to the flying
leaders. The good thing" Challenger,
was fifth and laboring hard. while be-
hind him were Bastian, Panmure, Bo
and News Gatherer, already out of the
contest, while Taral had Scottish Chief

The speed kas quickened a bit now

who had passed Rhodesia. the filly lit
tie in advance of Rodermond, while Tar
al had carried Scottish Chieftiain past
Challenger, a beaten horse. AS they
rounded thebend into the main track
Sloane began to work still harder on
Ornament, but his work was of little
avail, for in front of him was the copper
and green jacket of Tuberville on the
other westerner. Ogden still leading by
hal ia length. Rodermond had by this
time passed Rodesia who had got enough

was gaining inch by inch on the filly.
They were now around the turn and
each boy could see the big purse hung
up at the judges tsand. with chances
for only four of them. The five-eighths
was in sight, was passed and the boys
working hard Tuberville still had a
half length the better of Ornament, with
Sloane una able to do much for his mount

length and half in front Of Rodermond
with the others absolutely out of it. With
only furlong more, Sloane bent again
to his work and seemed to be gaining
a trifie on the flying Ogden. when there
was a crack in the atmosphere and Og-
den was gone He was nearly two lengths
ahead and all chances had vanished, for
amid the cries of the crowd Ogden slip
past the judges stand with $44,290 as his
reward, while ornament had to be con-
tent with second place by half length
and $3666. Rodermond third with $685.
