prove his worth during the present meeting
At Sheepshead Bay. as he Is we'll engaged
and will meet some OF the best two-year-olds

In the barn. He Is eligible for the Autumn
Maiden Stakes, to be run this afternoon. but
Trainer Welsh will not start him. as the son
Of ormonde Is entitled to . rest after his bril-
liant race OF Saturday. He Is also eligible
for the Partridge Stakes. to be run on Tues
day, but it Ia also probable that he Will be
kent out Of It, as the Dash Stakes. to be run
on Thursday may be more to his liking In

He will meet a powerful field. OF much more

be clearly entitled to be called the champion
two-year-old Of the year. or at least he can
claim equal honors with John Sanford's Mo-
hawk H., who went wrong just at the eve OF
the Futurty.
Ormondale's other enga gements at the Bay
are the Sapphire Stakes. Autumn Maiden
Stakes. the Flight. the Golden Rod and the
Great Eastern Handicap. in which he will
have still another chance to show how great
4 colt he really is. In looking over the result
Of the Futurity. horsemen reached the con-
cllislon yesterday that Ormondale beat one
OF the poorest fields that ever went to the
post for this turf classic. But they did not
detract from the merit OF the Ormonde colts
performance for the reason that he ran the
distance over a track that was cuppy and
dead in the record time hung up by Artful
last year over track that was lightning fast.
That Ormondale lie a high class colt none OF
the turf sharps deny. but there are so many
excellent two-year-olds who did not run in
Saturdays race that a general hestancy to
hail the Ormonde colt champion is con-
spicuously prevalent. For that reason 1t is
hoped that Trainer Welsh will start the
Futurity winner in race with as many OF
the youthful stars as possible.
Sysonby will probably be starter in the
rich Century Stakes, for three-y ear Odds and
upward, ono mile and a half. also to be run
next Saturday. On past performances and
