Second Faster than the Record

the full Futurity course, seven furlongs, in
1:25, which is one second faster than the
best previous time, made by Irish Lad last
year. River Pirate had everything in
his favor, as he is a noted mud runner and
the track to-day suited him. Charles FL
wood. on his good race in the Tidal stakes,
Saturday, was made an even-money favor
lite, with River Pirate next in demand.

bend on the main track, where Hicks, on
the Belmont horse, who had been running
second, sent MIN to the front and won
handily two and one-half lengths from
Yardarm- Mackey Dwyer was third.

carrying the heavy impost of 129 pounds,
won the Surf stakes for two-year-olds.

after indulging Monsoon with the lead to
the main track. moved out and won, driv-
ing, by half length.
