FUTURITY RESULT.



--l'nwarrantrd Demonstration After
Saturdays sixth Race-Stake Events.
The result Of the Futnrty was the chief
topic discussed by turimen Yesterday, and
among the there was general regret that
the big race could not have been run over
dry track in bright sunshiny weather.
In some quarters there was idle talk OF a
Futurity Renewal arranged on the same lines
as the Suburban Renewal. which the Coney

slight cut on the near hind leg. John ".

olds of the year. Don't forget Ieonidas,
