the Rich Flu urity.
His Time Was Two-Fifths of a Sec
ond Slower Than That of the Great
osden-His Share of the Purse SAL
600 - Brigadier Finishes Second
and Windmere Third--The Crowd.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26-Mr. James r.
Keene yesterday bought the bay gelding
Chacornac, by Imp. Juvenal- -Laetitia, from
his trainer, James Rowe, for the sum OF
$4,000, and today at the Sheepshead Bay
race track, Chaeornac, a favorite with the
public and skillfully ridden by Jockey Spen-
Ger, won the rich Futurity in clever fash
ION by neck from John ]. Hylands bay
gelding Brigadier, by Rayon d'Or-St. Brid-
get, piloted by Burns the latter taking the
place by length from Windmere, Brom-
ley Co.'S bay colt, by Iroquois- -Tradewind,
with O'Connor up.
The race was worth a total of Sal, ,240, of
which the winner got $50, $3.50, and his
breeders, L. s. and p. w. Thompson, re-
ceived $1,000 Brigadiers share of the
money was S4, 1888 and his breeder Au-
gust Belmont, got s1,250. Windmere was
entitled to 81, 1861, and his breeder Gen.
w. II. Jackson, was the recipient of $500
The result of the race was a source of in
tense satisfaction TO the talent, who had, by
various methods of speculation, picked Cha
cornac TO win several weeks ago.
The start could not have been better.
There was very little delay and on the first
break the unusually large field of twenty
starters, got away together. The location
of the starting point, however, was such
that the crowd of 49, 600 spectators could
tell nothing about how the horses got away
and nobody was reasonably sure of the
leader until the field rounded into the
stretch. Then it was seen that Chacornae
had a pronounced advantage and was run
ming with such an even stride and so little
exertien that he would land the prize, barr
ing accidents. The Keene stable in ad-
dition TO the winner, had the chestnut
colt Doublet, by Demino-Lucy Wallace, and
the chestnut filly Virginia Earle by St.
Leonards- Cerito in the race. The trio be-
came favorites in the betting and there was
so much money poured into the ring that
the post odds were to 5, as against to 1,
the opening.
AS they bowled down the stretch and
Chaeornac still lheld the advantage, the
enthusiasm of the crowd was without
limit. Brigadier, however, was rushing &c
the front with such swiftneSs OF hoof that
he began to seem dangerous. Indeed, nc
| one can tell what might have happened il
| Spencer had not been alive to the situa-
| ton He looked around and saw Hyland'
| gelding plowing over the turf with such
mighty speed that he realized 1t was time
| to take summary action. So few more
wraps were let out and Chacornac gradu-
] ally increased his lead and held 1t 81
well that it did not seem possible for hin
+, to fall back Windmere was extended, too
but the flight of Brigadier proved too mucf
| for him. Chacornae still kept his teauti
| full stride without a semblance OF falter-
| ing finally dashing past the mark a full
| neck in front, the winner of fortune ant
the pride of thousands. Brigadier made
superb finish.
That Chacornac was the best horse il
the field there is little doubt. He covered
the distance, which was 10 feet less thar
three -fourths of a mile, in 1:10 20, tht
best time on record for the course beinl
1:10 by the celebrated Ogden in 1896. Ii
conformation and action Charcornae is NOR
like the noted Hamburg than any futurit.
winner in recent years.
