Aside from the reassertment OF Orna-

A very large sum of money was made

coterie, which had apparently very eX-

they wanted.
The day opened with clear sky,
cool wind and a track like an unbaked
brick. Three races passed through
that stew of clay before the derby was
called, and the churning did not i'm
prove it any.
The only good going on the track
was around the outside edge, but ap-
parently the only man who recognized
the fact and used his knowledge was
c.. r. Patterson, the owner of Orna-
ment Mr. Patterson took a cane and
unostentatiously sat down near the mile
post while the three starters paraded
before the grand stand. Buckvldere,
ridden by Slaughter, came first; Iy-
phoon, ridden by Garner, next; and Or
nament, with Clayton in the saddle,
last. The crowded grand stand gave
them the usual encouraging howl, and
they went TO the post Starter hlt
Chinn sent them away to a flying start
when Buckvidere got in front. Force
of habit sent every jockey over to the
rail at the turn, right in the heaviest
going of the track. Owner Patterson,
at the mile post, smiled sweetly, and
sat still. AS they came around Iy-
phoon was in the lead with Ornament
at his ear. Buckvidere was close up
and each singing mud like politician.
AS the three neared the quarter Patter-
son, the owner of Ornament, rose and
signalled with his cane. At the instant
CLAYTON shot Ornament clear across to
the dry ground and before the other
Jockeys could grasp his meaning, the
race was practically won. Clayton's
manoeuvre freshened up the son OF
Order. go he made five lengths, and he

Typhoon apparently had an engage

all practical purposes did stop there.
He was beaten so hard and so badly
that the torn up Typhoon tickets looked
like snow. Twenty thousand people
witnessed the race.

natl tomorrow to run in the Oakley
Derby.

man will let his prejudices drive him
out into the night to seek inferior ac-
commodations. And yet this man
