nt Out-CapitaI Racisg, AltheuGh the Pro-
Graname was barren or stake Features.
There wcro no stake features at Gravesond
yesterday. bnt the racing was brilliant never
tholess, Hastings, Ornament, and Cloophus
meeting at six furlongs, while Howard Mann,
| Rondo. and other handicap horses had It out at
a mile and a sixteenth. Hastings was in capital
trim yesterday, and he clipped tho wings Of
Ornament and Cloophus, going the six f~urlongs
In 1.13S, which is very fast for the Grsvesend
course. The track seemed to suit Hsstings's
ankle, which was none too good, and had there
been any necessity for it, 1t 10 probable that
tho robust son of Spendthriftc could have Clipped
| OF another half second. Ornaments hard race
in the Autumn Cup, at two miles, was consid.
erod enough to take his fine turn OF spool away,
but tho fact that he ran tho nrst half with
Cloophus in 4sL seconds would indicate that
his speed was not mislaid yesterday. Rondo
had q 15-pound call in tho weights over How
ard Mann in the handicap, and tho Brooklyn
Handicap winner had to be content with second
| place. The weather was again perfect and tho
attendance large.
Rubicon and Casseopia were withdrawn from
tho special race at six furlongs. and 1t was de-
MED by those who should know that the former
had been sold to Thomas Ryan or to anybody
else for $4,000 or any other figure. Hastings
was selected AZ fsvorito at 10 TO Q on, tho cur
rent price against Ornament being 8 to 8, while
8 TO 1 was on offer against Cleophus. Tho
starter requested tho Jockeys to come t~rotting
to the post and to pull together In
order to avoid any delay, for orna-
ment acts ugly when asked to face a
barrier and is a notorious cause of disturbance
Y at the ost. The Jockeys pulled together nicely
and a start was secured Immediately. Taral
took Hastings back and lot Cleophus and orna-
n tent make the pace. The clip was warm. and
Il We first half was reeled OFF in Ash seconds with
Of Mo three.year-olds, and when we'll straight-
