Was Won by the Favorite-Twenty
Horses Went to the Post.
Ksene's Second Winning.

New York Aug. 26.-Chacornac, owned
by James r. Keene, won the Futurity
race at sheepshead Bay to-day in the
fast time of 10 90 j. ]. Hyland's -riga-
der was second and Bromley & Co. S
| Windmere third.
1t was the 18th running of the richest
stakes in this country and the second
time that the Keene colors have been in
front. The Futurity to-day was worth
nearly $4,000. 1t was won by the favor
| tie and was altogether the most salts
| factory Futurty ever run.
Twenty horses went to the post. with
| the Keene trio, Chacornac Virginia Earle
| and Doublet ruling favorites at to 5.
They were sent off with but few min
utes delay, and were seen in the dis
tance coming down the chute in straight
line through the cloud of dust. Mo-
| drne was first away with Doublet and
Chacornac right behind him. 1t was work
with hands and knees to get first into
the stretch, and Spencer had Chacornac
in front as they rounded the long turn.
As they neared the judges stand Briga-
der came through from sixth place with
rush, cutting down Windmere st. Fin
nan and Modrine, and being beaten only
by scant length at the end.
The attendance was very large in spite
of threatening weather. 1t was exactly
l:30 when the lot of youngsters reached
the pos. and their noses were turned to-
ward the barrier. In less than five min
utes Fitzgerald caught them in line and
yelled Come on!'' Everyone of the
score jumped at once, the white webbing
swished into the air and they flashed
| past the starter in an almost perfect
| line. Down went the red again and they
were off on their journey in the shortest
! time ever seen at big race. Modrine had
a trifle the best of it. but Doublet. Vir-
| ginia Earle and Chacornac were close up,
and Windmere and Plucky and Brigader
were Tapped on them.
In the first quarter all were driving
| hard, for there was that wicked turn in.o
| the main track only a short distance
| away and every boy knew that the first
| horse around the corner would not have
| to take any chances of being crowded out
and would be better Strengthened for the
run home
pullman on Modrine was at work with
| hands and heels in the effort to stay in
| the lead. As they neared the main track
| Modrine began to fall back and as they
| Strengthened out the bay gelding, Cha
| cornac poked his white nose TO the front.
Spencers red cap and blue and white
| spotted jacket showed up plainly now,
outside. The race was by no means over,
however, for Brigadier was coming with
a rush and in front of him shone the
bright yellow jacket Of OConnor on
Windmere.
The last furlong pole was reached in
safety without jostling or crowding. 1t
was apparent that it was over, for Cha
cornac was going easily, Spencer having a
| bit up his sleeve in case of accident,
while every boy was driving hard behind
| him.
The pace was a little too hot for Wind
mere and he began to drop back for
| Burns who was working hard on Briga-
| der and wearing him down fast, till
| sixteenth from home the son of Rayon
| dor got his head in front and was sure
of second place.
spencer was still going easily on Cha
| cornac and as they went over the finish
| line the latter had something more than
| a neck the best of it, though he might
| have made it more had he been so in
| cllned. Brigadier was in second place,
| clear of the Others, while Windmere stag
| gered home a scant head in front of st.
| Finnan and there was little daylight be-
| tween the others. Modrine who had
| made the pace, had 20 be content with
| fifth place
only yesterday James r. Keene pur-
| chased Chacornac from James Rowe for
| a sum announced to be $4,000.

weight and at long price, made a driving
