New York, Aug. 26.-Chacornac, own
ed by James r. Keene, won the Futur-
ity race at Sheepshead Bay today IN
the fast time OF ITO 2-5. ]. J. Hyland' S
Brigadier was second, and Bromley d
Cos. Windmere third.
1t was the twelfth running of the
richest stakes in this country, and the
second time that the Keene colors have
been in front. The Futurity today was
worth nearly $40, 900. 1t was won by
the faVorite, and was altogether the
most satisfactory Futurity ever run.
Twenty horses went to the post, with
the Keene trio. Chacornac Virginia
Earle and Doublet ruling favorlteS at
8 to ). They were sent off with but
a few minutes delay, and were seen IN
the distance coming down the chute IN
a straight line through the cloud OF
dust. MOdrine was first away, with
Doublet and Chacornac right beside
him. 1t was work with hands and
knees to get first into the stretch, ana
Spencer had Chacornac in front as they
rounded the long turn. AS they neared
the judges stand, Brigadier came
through from sixth place with rush,
cutting down Windmere, St. Finnan
and Modrine. and being beaten only by
a scant length at the end
The attendance was very large, IN
spite of threatening weather.
No Delay at Start.
1t was exactly haIf-past four when
the lot of youngsters reached the post
and their noses were turned toward
the barrier. In less than five minutes
Fitzgerald caught them in line, and
yelled Come on" Every one of the
score jumped at once, the white web
bling swished into the air, and they
flashed past the starter in an almost
perfect line Down went the red flag,
and they were off on their journey IN
the shortest time ever seen at Dig
race. Modrine had a trifie the best OF
it. but Doublet, Virginia Earle and
Chacornac We're close up, and Wind
mere and Plucky and Brigadier were
Tapped on them.
In the first quarter all were driving
hard, for there was that wicked turn
into the main track only short dis
tance away, and everybody knew that
the first horse around the corner would
not have to take any chance of being
crowded out, and would be better
straightened for the run home. Bull
man, on Modrine, was at work with
hands and heels in the effort to stay
in the lead.
AS they neared the main track, Mo-
drine began to fall back, and, as they
Strengthened out, the bay gelding, Cha-
cornac, poked his white nose in front
of Spencer's cap and blue and white
spotted jacket showing up plainly now,
for he was clear of the bunch on the
outside. The race was by no means
over, however, for Brigadier was COM
ing with rush and in front of him
shone the bright yellow jacket OF
O'Connor on Windmere. The last fur-
long pole was reached in safety. with
p m
parent that it was over, for Chacornac
was going easily, Spencer having bit
I'D his sleeve in case of accidents, while
every boy was driving hard behind
him.
Pace Was Hot.
The pace was a little too hot for
Windmere, and he began to drop back
for Burns, who was working hard on
Brigadier, and wearing him down fast,
till a sixteenth from home the son OF
Rayon door got his head in front, and
was sure of second place. Spencer was
still going easy on Chacornac, and as
they went over the finish line the latter
had something more than a neck the
best of il. although he might have
made il more had he been 50 inclined.
Brigadier was in second place. clear Of
the others, while Windmere staggered
home a scant head in front of st. Fin
nan. and there was little daylight be-
tween the others. Modrine, who had
made the pace, had to be content with
fifth place.
Only yesterday James R. Keene pur-
chased Chacornac from James Rowe,
for a sum announced to be $4,000.
In the fall handicap, Previous, at
light weights and at long price, made
q driving finish with Batten, winning
in the fast time of 1:1S 2-5 for the six
furlongs.
