or less a typlCdl bTOOhlSH HduoiCdp day Nature was all tears in the morn- ing and all smiles in the afternoon. The track was heavy, but 1t was not a mud horse that won, for Ornament, who was fit to run for his life, cantered home a winner amid the cheers of the crowd.
 The crowd, numbering about 12,0O0, waited patiently through the first three races for the handicap, and as soon as Kingston had won the Expectation stakes, those who wanted to speculate sought the ring. The greatest plunge was on Don de Gro, the sulker, While the game little three-year-old Sly Fox had so many followers that at the close he was an almost equal favorite with Don de Orc, and had pushed Ornament out of the place as second choice. All the others were nibbled at, but most of the money was down on the two men, toned.
 At 4:05 o'clock the bugle called the contestants to the post. After a cou- pie of false breaks, the red flag swfshed through the air and the silken jackets flashed into line. With Ornament length behind, they rounded slight turn and strengthened out on the first run past the grandstand. AS they neared the judges stand the first time Sly Fox was in the lead by length, with Ogden next, two lengths in front of Don de Gro, Tillo, Ornament, Ben Holiday, On Deck and Semper Ego fol- lowing in the order named. There was little change in the position Of the octet as they rounded the lower turn. AS the lot turned into the backstretch, Ogden, two years ago the Futurity win ner had enough of it in the sticky go- ing and fell back into the rear ranks.
 The jockeys began punching bit at this point and sent their horses along to test Sly Fox, for he seemed to be going easily in front Don de Orc was in second place and Sim gave him shove to get him a little nearer Sly Fox, and at the beginning of the up- per turn he was Tapped on Sly Fox and only a neck behind. Tillo also was lapped on Don de Gro, while Ben Hol- liday was close up, with Ornament Tapped on him. The others were trail ing and apparently all out
 They were now on the upper turn and had but three furlongs to go. All the boys were doing a little urging. But what of Sloan on Ornament? Sud- denly he leaned far over on his horse s neck, gave him little prick with his spurs and how he moved the others down, going like whirlwind. It was a streak of cerulean blue silk, a glean- ing chestnut colt, and the crowd roared:
 Look at Sloan"
 It was unnecessary for any call, for everybody saw the great four-year-old Tillo, Don de Orc and Sly Fox passed like a flash, and in the time 1t takes to tell 1t Ornament was in the lead.
 Then the boys got to work in earnest, but 1t was a useless task, as Tar as the first place was concerned, for they could not gain a foot on the flying Or nament. who was doing easily in front. All eyes were then on Sly Fox and Ben Holiday as they thundered through the stretch in the effort to secure second money.
 A furlong from home Ben Holiday got his nose up to Sly FoX'S tall. A sixteenth from home his nose was ahont a foot behind that of Sly Fox, and in the last few strides Ben Holli- day managed to stagger over the line in second place by the shortest Of noses.
 Sloan was the idol of the hour. There came the proposition to put him in the floral jockeys chair, which the Jockey on the winner has to undergo,
 
 declined the honor.
 Sloan also had the winning mounts in the first, second, third and sixth events.
