What looks very much like Futurity timber
appeared in the Undergraduate Stakes for two
year-olds at Brighton Beach yesterday afternoon,
l.. 8. & w. p. Thompson's brown colt Gibraltar,
by StonehenRe, out OF Chomise. playing with his
field and winning In q romp. The distance, half
a mile, was covered In A9ia seconds and the mud
was fetlock deer, making the performance truly
remarkable. Gibraltar is In the Futurity and has
been sojourning at Saratoga. A crowd Of ad-
mirers followed the conqueror to the paddock
and discussed the brown colts chances for the
big prize on Tuesday next The universal opin-
ion was that, while Gibraltar may not win, no
will take q lot Of beating. and 1t Is almost a cor
tainty that no possesses moro speed than any
other younRster that Is eligible to start. 70 will
be ridden by w. Martin.
There were but four starters for the Under.
Observation-Disclosures. varus, Frohman, and the
Ally Ruby Lips alone going to the post. 1t was
Frohman's first appearance in months, and when
speculation began nobody appeared TO want
him. nearly all the demand being for Gibraltar.
When the flag fell Gibraltar was in front, and
he shot right away from his competitors az
though they were anchored. The further they
went the more pronounced was his superiority,
and he might have won by fifty yards had Sims
cared to let him out. Frohman was ontpaced
from the start, and varus was beaten home for
second money by the outsider Ruby Lips. Glib
raltar is a brown colt OF fine proportions. He is
beautifully marked. having q patch of white on
his nose. He is very good-tempered and a
good actor at the post. This means q great dcal
when q machine Is used to start the horses.
The talent figured Tallahassee for a good
thing in the opening dash at Eve furlongs, but
not q little money went in on lambert, Ar
buckle, and La Sagesse, the balance being held at
long prices. The outcome of the contest was a
knock.down blow for the faithful, for Takanas-
sec gave 1t up at the head of the stretch and the
IL to 1 chance Purse Proud beat lambert In q
hard drive by q very short head. Tallahassee
was third. Scherrcr and Powers both showed
to good advantage at tho finish. but the West
erner Is the stronger, and put up an unusually
good ride. The crazy colt Stone Step delayed the
start for the second race for nearly half an hour.

Max, the best looking colt of the bunch, sprang
away in the van at fagfall and was never
caught. Mrs. Reeves. the favorite. beat Joe
