Shrewd Game.

ST. LOUIS, MO. June 26. - Kentucky
beat Missouri-Ornamon out ran Tippon
H., at the Fair Grounds to-day in the St.
Louis Derby, "A $1,000 sweep stake for
three-year-olds, and several thousand
Louisianans walked home. The much
played Tippon H.. was beaten not only by
Ornament of Kentucky. but also by Buck
videre, a II to l shot, who came near
getting into first place.
Aside from the assortment of Orna-
ments superiority. the race was a disap-
pointment. Ornaments price, 10 10 20
and out, prevented any heavy play on
him by the visitors. while Tippon H.. at
II to 10 was hardly attractive. \ large
sum of money was made on the race, but
it was done by Ornament II was made
by a select coterie which had apparently
very excellent reasons for knowing that
Buckvidere would run second and the
component parts Of the Coterie found ,
TO | for place about as good a thing as
they wanted.
CLEAR SKY: GOOD TRACK.
The day opened with a clear sky. n
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 improve 1t any.
The My good going on the track was
around the outside edge but apparently
the only man who recognized the lact
and used his knowledge was [. +. rat
terson. the owner of Ornament. Mr.. Pat
terson took a cane and unostentatiously
sat down near the mile post while the
three starters paraded before the grand
stand. Buckvidcre ridden by Slaughter
came first. Tippon H.. ridden by Garner
next. and Ornament. with Clayton IN the
saddle, last.
The crowded grand-stand gave them
the usual encouraging howl. ana they
went to the post. Starter Kit Chlnn sent
them away TO a flying start. with Buck
videre a nose in front. Force or habit
sent every Jockey to the rail at the turn
right I'm. the heaviest going In the track.
owner Patterson. at the mile post, smiled
sweetly. and sat still. As they came
around Tippon was in the lead. with or
nament at his ear. Buckvidere was close
m. and each singing mud like a poll
tician. AS the three neared the quiet
Patterson. the owner of Ornament rose
and signalled with his cane. In an IN
slant CLAYTON shot Ornament across 10
the dry ground. and before the other
jockeys could gasp. the race was practi-
cally won. Clayton's manoeuvre fresh
ened mp the son Of order so he made
FIVE lengths. and he kept II 10 the close.
TIPPON WOULD STOP.
The mile post. too, was a place where
Tippon apparently had an engagement.
for he wanted to stop. and. for all practi-
cal purposes. did stop there. He was
beaten so hard and so badly that the
torn-up iTppon tickets looked like a snow.
Twenty thousand people witnessed the
race.
Ornament will be shipped 10 Cincinnati
tomorrow TO run in the Oakley Derby.
