pleasant company of spectators w.'nS'"G the
seven contests at the Sheepshead Bay l9Vc,:ack
Yesterday. The weather was perfect. and tHe spoit
was Of a high order of excellence. The meeting De
tween Ogden and Ornament was the magnet tha'
attracted a majority Of the visitors. ogden was
evidently several pounds below his Futurty form,
as Ornament defeated him easily. Racing experts
who have observed the work Of both colts closely
since the Futurity decided did not hesitate IN
placing their faith and their money on ornament
Their reason for doing this was that Ornament
trials weic superior to the trials or Ogdeh' Inc
race did not prove an exciting contest. When the
flag fell Tubervile restrained Ogden and The frlar
took the lead closely followed by Ornament. the
Friar made the pace so fast that both Ornament
and Ogden urged by their riders TO Keep up
with him When the turn for home was fcacheu
Tuberville got Ogden in 81 pocket, although there
were only three horses In the race. Ornament had
the contest in hand at the head OF the stretch ana
Ogden was forced TO go TO the outside. IuDerVille
took up his whip, and Ogden swerved toward the
inner rail. This caused Tuberville TO change MS
whip 10 his left hand in order TO Keep osdoh
straight. Ornament had no trouble in getting Hrst
place by nearly two lengths at the finish The
Friar was last almost the same distance behlnd
