FUTURITY GOSSIP.
Tomorrow's Big Event at Sheepshead
Raw a Very Open Affair.


NEW YORK, Aug 23, 1S97.-It is a num-
ber of years since the Futurity Stakes
for two-year olds, to be run off on the
opening day of the fall meeting of the
Coney Island Jockey Club, at Sheepshead
Bay tomorrow, has been SO open or have
so many, youngsters had good chance
to win. One of the reasons for this is
the non-appearance of the greatest of all
the two-year olds, Hamburg, this speedy
colt not being eligible.
1t is more than likely that in his alb
sence his stable companion, Howland,
will be the favorite, as he has done well
in the past and his work for the great
event has been good enough to make mis-
owner say that he does not SO much re-
gret the ineligibility of Hamburg. Next
in favoritism will be that good colt of the
Thompson string, Gibraltar, which did so
we'll in the mud a few days ago at
Brighton and showed his heels to mod
crate lot in fast time. The Huguenot,
full brother to the great Henry OF
Navarro and a colt which looks more
and more like his predecessor every day,
is also in from the same string. and some
of the good judges seem to think that the
stable may run one too. Plaudit is an
other colt of which much is expected
and in the hands of Brown Dick is
sure to be ready to run.
Uriel and Cock Robin of the Keene
string have lot of followers; Uriel on
the way in which he ran in the spring,
and Cock Robin for his good race at
Brighton a few days ago when with a
lightweight he was barely beaten by
Demagogue after being practically left at
the post and running around large held

ago when ne was badly beaten by moder-
ate class animals.
Gideon's Frohman has been running
some bad races of late and will probably
be neglected. Lydian has done some fair
work against moderate class animals.
Amazonian Is a practically unknown
quantity from the Marcus DAILY string,
and will be the second horse to Briar
Sweet, Tammany Hall II. and Grand
Sachem, having failed to come up to eX-
pectations. Miss Tenny is a good little
| f1lly, but, according to those who have
watched her in her races, is outclassed.
Hindoonet Is not up to such race. Gala
Day is owned by McCafferty and may or
may not run well. Handse is not of
high class, and Great Bend, full brother
to Potomac, has been great disappplnts

and damage. Crowds of toughs invaded
the park, most of them obtaining en-
trance by scaling the fence.
That method proved too slow for many
and they began to tear down the fences
The police tried to prevent the ravages
of the ruffians, but with scarcely any
success. All got in that wished, and
after the rumpus was over two arrests
were made. The prisoners, however,
were soon released, as no appeared to
make complaint against them.
Over 1900 people were in the park, all
had money, and they had not to go far to
spend K. The alleged Egyptian wriggle
dancers were well patronized, and the
shell game and confidence men did a
land office business.
Several rows occurred, but the police
were lenient and interfered only in ex
treme cases. The Fest netted over SIS, 600,
so it is said.

PARIS, Aug. 23 1897-Flour rose 80
