NOT A SINGLE BET
New York Futurity Run Under
This Condition.
First Time on Record for a Big
Race.
RIVALRY is GREAT.
Keene and Madden Stables Have
Two Entries Each.
Worth Thirty-three Thousand
Dollars to Winner.
RIVALRY is GREAT.

New York, Aug. 29.-The strangest
Futurity that has been run in the FL
years that the most valuable fixture of
the American turf has an existence.
will be run this afternoon at the OPEN
ing OF the Coney Island Jockey clubs
autumn meeting on the Sheepshead
Bay track. The race In itself presents
unusual and attractive features, the
chief OF which is the rivalry between
the John E. Madden and James r
Keene stables. with two entries for
each, representing the best of the two
year-olds that have been shown in
public this season, but the futurity
simply as horse race falls into sec
ond place behind the test which rae
Ing is to undergo as a spectacle in alb
solute independence of betting.
The futurity of today will be the
first that has been run under absolute
prohibition of betting, the prohibition
having been declared b ythe executive
committee of the Coney Island Jockey
club and the stewards of the Jockey
club, as well as by the Kings county
officials, under the new anti-betting
law. With the running of the futurity,
racing returns today to the county in
which the severest trials of the bet
ting laws took place in the spring
and that with the full understanding
that the state law will be enforced 20
the last extreme. The managers of
the Sheepshead Bay track, together
with the managers of racing in the
east, have decided that they will com
ply to the letter of the law, with the
conditions offered by the Kings county
officials, and with unanimous agree
ment on the matter, the Sheepshead
Bay open today with professional
betting prohibited.
The futurity offers about as in
teresttng race as has ever been run in
the history of the big stakes The race
will be worth trifle less than S33,-
600 with the nine starters named to
run, but an the contest looks, on the
performances of the horses, 1t will be
duel between the John E. Madden
and the James r. Keene entries
Maskette of the Keene entry, was the
most sensational performer of the
Saratoga meeting, and Helmet beat
both OF the Madden entries, Sir Mar
tin and Fayette, in the last great
stakes of the meeting, the Hopeful, al
a difference in weight that gave Hell
met 5 pounds the better of it.
The Madden colts on performance
were the best of the spring, however
and in the views of the horsemen the
race seems to be between the entire:
OF the two owners. Other factors in
the race are the improving two-year-
old Perseus and Bibbin, of the Whit
ney stable and the fast filly Mediant
owned by H. B. Duryea.
The probable starters with weight.

For generation DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have been curing rheumatism and
other diseases caused by poor blood,
and during that time certain cures
have been published that were so
marvellous In their nature that they
have been termed modern miracles.

the young man was taken sick. our
family doctor pronounced it innam-
matory rheumatism" says Mr.. Calhoun,
and he attended me for about year.
For nine months I was confined to the
bed and In such agony that could
not bear the weight of the sheets nor
to have any one touch me- could
not move myself at all.
