NEW YORK. June ls.-Tillo first and the
great Ornament nowhere was the record

were kept full hour at the post.
As usual on suburban day, the
horses engaged had little to do this morning
and their final fnal preparation for the race
consisted of light gallop around the
course, with a pipe opener through the
stretch. Before Q O'Clock they were safely
slowed in their boxes to wait seven hours
before being called to the paddock to be sad
died. OF course, there was the usual gath
ering of trainers and racetrack hangers-on
about the stand after the exercise was over,
and nearly every horse in the race had at
least one PARTISAN.
There could be no question az TO the fa-
vorite The winner of the Brooklyn handi-
cap, Ornament. was the first choice of al
most everybody. He won handily then
against about the same horses, and while
he will have to carry 131 pounds as pen
atty for that win, few were inclined to say
they thought that would stop him. Ben
Holiday was selected by many as the horse
most likely to get the second place, al
throug Imp, Ogden Don dor, Semper
Ego and Royal Stag had lot of followers
In fact, outside of Ornament it was diff
cult matter to find general favorite for
second place. Peep-o-Day was by no means
neglected in the selection, and no cne would
hazard a bet as to the winner If Ornament
did not win, so open Is the race after him,
1t was declared.
They're OFF! They're OFF!
When the bugle called the contenders to
the post there was but little unoccupied
space In the grand stand, on the roof or
lawn. 1t was almost 4:3o o'clock when the
eleven candidates were in the hands Of
Starter Fitzgerald. and then came a weari-
some wait. After several false starts final
ly all came down together, and they were off
on their journey exactly an hour after they
had reached the starting point. Tillo was
quickest on his feet, and for an instant his
muzzle showed In front, but the willy Clay
ton took him back to fifth position. Royal
Stag came next, followed by Havoc, Ogden
Don de Orc. Ornament and the others. They
did not settle down to work until they had
passed the grand stand and had reached
the end of the first quarter, and it could
easily be seen that the jockeys all had
waiting orders.
AS the horses Strengthened out on the
back stretch Doggett sent Royal Stag up
little nearer Ogden, and Peep O. Day and
Imp moved up too, so that as they passed
the half mile pole in that order they were
heads apart Tillo was still in fifth place,
attended by Don de Oro, Havoc and Orna-
ment, but the latter seemed to be over
powered by the weight he was carrying.
Ben Holiday, too, was in the rear, while
the rest had long been hanging out signals
Of distress. The sole exception was Semper
Ego, who was doing we'll in the rear, but
seemed to be pocketed.
AS they neared the three-quarter pole
Hamilton urged Ogden, and as they flashed
past the mark he was length to the good.
Imp showed her head In front of Royal
Star, while Clayton moved Tillo into fourth
place. Ornament was actually in last place
and Sloan was driving for all he was worth.
1t was only short distance home. and
there seemed to be no chance for him TO
win. Foot by foot Ornament cut down the
lead Of the others, and when he had worked
his way up to eighth place Sloan evidently
saw it was useless, and gave up very
badly ridden race. 1t was but short drive
around the turn, and then their noses were
in the stretch with Ogden length in front
Clayton on Tillo had moved up into second
place. crowding past Imp, who was about
ready to stop. AS they Strengthened out for

knew 1t he was overhauing them rapidly
There was but furlong to 60. and Ogder
began to waver. In few strides Tillo had
the front rank and 1t could be plainly seer
that it was all over. He passed the wire
