Trainer Welsh will not start him. as the son

the Futurity.
Ormondaes other engagements 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
a colt he really is. In looking over the result
OF the Futurty.. horsemen reached the con-
ciusion yesterday that Ormondale beat ono
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 q track that was cuppy and
dead in the record time hung up by Artful
last year over track that was lightning fast.
That Ormondale is a high class colt none OF
the turf sharps deny. but there are 50 many
excellent two-year-olds who did not run in
Saturdays race that q general hesitancy to
han the Ormonde colt champion Is con-
spicuously prevalent For that reason 1t is
hoped that Trainer Welsh viii start the
Futurity winner in a race with as many OF
the youthful stars as possible.
Sysonby will probably be a starter in the
rich Century Stakes. for three-year-olds and
upward. one mile and half. also to be run
next Saturday. On past performances and
after scanning the eligible list 1t looks to
be an easy race for the famous Melton three

Burch. Adbel. Woodsaw. Dolly spsnker.
Councilman and The Picket are about the
best Of those who can meet Sysonby. which
means that the latter will be q prohibitive
favorite, as it is not believed that any Of
this bunch is able to make the Keene horse
stretch his neck. Artful. unfortunately. was
not entered in the Century. but the famous
marc may be seen in either the Dolphin
Stakes tomorrow. the Twin City Handicap
on Wednesday or the Reapers Stakes on
Thursday. Another interesting event this
week will be the Great Filly Stakes on Wednes-
day, for which the leading eligbles are
