Bar None came Ike a flash, but the
effort had been too much, and with
couple of smart taps from his whip Mil
Ter drove the Keene colt home a winner.
Bar None got the place. beating out the

worth.
There was a sentimental interest in the

soon after he had been retired TO the

Il was the third Futurity won by Mr..
Keene, as Domino, the grandsire Of Colin.

carried of the prize in 1883.
Colin began his remarkable career by
winning an overnight event during the
spring meeting at Belmont Park After
that he was victorious in the National
Stallion Stakes. the Eclipse Stakes, the
Great Trial Stakes. the Brighton Junior
Stakes, the Saratoga Special, the Grand
Union Hotel Stakes, and last but not
least, the Futurity, to win which every
owner and breeder is particularly anxious.
Mr.. Keene OverjOyed.
Mr. Keene was overwhelmed with con-
graulations after the race. He was as
happy as a schoolboy as he cOngratu-
lated Jockey Miller and then hurried
back to the paddock TO pat his champion
afectionately on the neck.

Mr.. Keene. He ran the greatest race
Of his career. for he showed remarkable
courage and phenomenal speed. I never

saw a better one. lie was in "a pocket
for more than half the distance. but when
he got through he showed that he was a
real champion. II the race had been run
in England or France Colin would have
been quoted at ! to 10. because In those
countries they are exceedingly strict
about foul riding and interference. but
the price quoted against him to-day evil
IDENTIFY meant that these bits Of racing
luck were taken into consideration. Colin
has earned a much needed rest"
The best previous time for the Futurity
was that Of II. 3, Duryea's Artful. who
ran the distance in 1904, with ia pounds
up, in I'LL 40 the same time made by
Ormondale, with III pounds up IN 1905.

tin, he closed with the courage of a lion
and was by no means disgraced. Chapul-
tepec, also in receipt Of eight pounds from
the winner. showed a great turn of speed
for nearly five furlongs, where the pace
began TO tell, and he curled up. Fair
Play was also run into the ground by
Meelick. After showing his best speed
for half a mile, he quit.
Frank FarrelTs colt. Jim Gaffney, was
anchored by the weight, $50 pounds, and
was never prominent. The same may be
said OF Beaucoup, who was a trailer at all
stages. while Countermand, an added
starter. was last.
OF the other races, the Inaugural Stee-
plechase was only a gallop for the big
imported British horse, John NJ P. Three
horses fell in this race.
