New xofk, Aug. Z5.-HamDurg Belle won the Futurity in footing not to her liking. but with an ease marred only by her swerve near the finish. Her perform ance, the full six furlongs, in 1:13. is the record for the race at that distance. From 1899 to 1901, inclusive. the futurity course was TO feet short of six furlongs
 Savable made the record in 1:14 last year. Throughout she was the speediest and at the end the gamest in the heaviest part of the track near the rail. Fuller rode with perfect judgment. When Leon adas challenged sixteenth from the fin- Ssh, he struck Hamburg Belle with his whip and her spirit rebelled and she aeaped sideways, reducing her length s lead to nothing. With lightning intui- tion. the boy dropped his whip, and, set fling down ito ride. called on the Ally to do her best Nobly she responded and, squirting away, shook off her sturdy half brother, winning the greatest two-year prize of the world by head.
 No shame rests on little Leonidas for defeat. Giving his sister six pounds more than her sex. allowance, he raced from post to finish like the splendid thorough bred he is. Ehe Minuteman of John E.. Maddan's entry was third. four lengths behind Leonidas, his placing among the first three was lucky.
 William c. Whitney saw a daughter and son of his great sire Hamburg run first and second, and that contented him with the loss of the first place. The day s racing concluded with the most sensa- tional episode of the Eastern turf sea- son. The barrier failed to rise and the four starters dashed through it. Colle- gian caught in the cords, was thrown and Black Hussar was left at the post Flying Ship, the to 20 favorite, won ahead of Swamplands.
 Surging about the judges stand an im- mense throng shouted No race! No Facel" and missed and jeered when the numbers were run up. The chief of the Jockey Clubs police force went among the excited men,
 At this the crowd shouted Crook IrnQlxis aud one man. hisaed. 10. the face of the cifiers- who ordered a poiicefnAfl to arrest him flor melting riot" 5trat- egy may have prompted the move, for when the bluecoat marched the offender away 800 rebellious men followed them; making a great uproar. The policemen took the hisser to the gate and freed him.
 Rain for two days preceded Futurity Day. A stiff wind blew down the Flu turity course and helped Grenade, win ner of the second race. to make the re- markable time of 105 3-5 over the heavy track for five and one-haH furlongs. This time was doubted when first hung up but on it's confirmation trainers who had wavered at sight of the mud de- cided that the track was safe and Ham burg Be1le's appearance became cer- 4ainty. Doveccte was withdrawn early, and the chalk soon went through the name of Beldame, leaving the Belmont stable no representative in the Futurity. Madden scratched Gettysburg and added Ancestor; s. White added Rain or Shine, This left eighteen to face the starter.
 It was drizzling so hard when the horses reached the start up the Futurity chute that they were also invisible from the grand stand After twelve minutes delay the big field got away In excel lent alignment.
 Delhi seemed quickest, with Hamburg Belle, Leonidas, Little Elm and the Min uteman ranged alongside and all in the center of the track. Fuller held Hamburg Bepe inl restraint through the dip where the going was soft. but when he reached hard ground just before the elbow, he let her down a bit and her head showed an front as the leaders wheeled into the stretch. Hamburg Belle and Leonidas alone were prominent when the stretch was reached.
 Gkassing the last ,'eighth pole it was Hamburg Belle by length. Leonidas a half length, Little Elm head and the Minuteman. Leonidas responding to Red ferns desperate riding forced Hamburg Belle, and the two sped away from the others Fuller saw Redfern coming clos CT and cEawing his whip, cut the Ally smartly on the flank. She sprung from the blow. evidently disconnected. Her spring sidewise carried her into the deep : mud near the rail. and when Fuller saw his error set to work in flash with hane and heels to mend. The response was magnificent. Hamburg Belle etrafghtened out like grey hound and shot through the mud toward the near goal In a second she was going faster than Leonidas and in a moment was home first. winner and greatest turf herooine of 1908.
 Tn spite of the unpleasant weather be- tween 2o.00O and 25.O00 persons were in att tendance when the futurity was I2n. Hamburg Belle is the third Ally to win the futurlty. The others were the But terfiies and LAlouette. Her owner. Mir. Paget, is credited with winning $S0,000 by her victory, and JoE~ J. Ryan. the west ern track owners winnings are placed at S50,00o. Sidney Paget, who is registered as the lessee of Hamburg Belleis running qualities from the estate of Marcus Daly, received S363O0 as the winners share. Leonidas won A.25O by taking second place. and S2,250 went to Madden, for the Minuteman's third. To the Daily estate (John HaganJ as nominator of the win ner and second horses goes 5000 and $1,- 2E0 respectively. E. c. Cowden, who nom anated the Minuteman. gets $500. Hamburg Belle was favorite with the Keene entry in the betting the odds on each closing at about to l. With s. s. Browns entry about the same place. Hamburg Belle carried 114. five less than the scale for Allies. because her dam 1siac had never previously foaled a winner.
 Betting was strong. but not very heavy. on the big race. John A. Drake was cred tied with large wagers on Hamburg Belle and most of the public money went the same way or to the Keene stable for place. At the end Hamburg Belle was 1 to 1, where she opened. the Brown entry, Broomstick. and Audience. had been backed from five to fours and the Keene entry was at fours where 1t opened Mad den's stable had dropped from : to to s to 1. High Ball from 2O to 30 and Rag land from 50 to S0
