NOVELTY FRANCES AWAY
WITH FUTURITY STAKES
Feature Race of Saratoga Pro"
gram Attracts Best Field
of the Season

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 91.-The
Futurity, the richest stake of the sea-
son, and the last race of the season in
this state-and perhaps the last Flu
turity, in view of the anti-betting leg
islation-was won today by S. {. Hill
dreth's Novelty, ridden by smiling IN
1:12 1-5.
The race netted only $23.S0O to the
winner although in the past it has
been sometimes worth more than $780,
900.
Fl. P. Whitney's Bashti, bought a
few days ago for 100000. earned $3913
in second place and e. r. Bradley's
Love Not took third money, $lS26, one
and one-half lengths back. The time
for the six furlongs is only 3-5 of a
second slower THAI the track record.
The most remarkable incident of the
race was the brilliant performance OF
the filly, Love Not. On the way to the
post she became unmanageable and
ran for half q mile with her jockey,
little Reid, at full speed. He finally
pulled her UP, but ii took twelve min
utes to bring her back to the post.
When the start came she rushed to the
lead and led to the final furlong pole.
There her earlier effort told and she
stopped badly, but good horsemen were
not wanting who believed that only
her unfortunate runaway lost her the
race.
On actual performance, however, the
victory of the Hildreth colt stamps
him the best two-year-old in training.
owing to his winning other big stakes
Novelty had to pick up 12l pounds,
conceding weight to every other horse
entered, and his victory must be cred
tied to the superb horsemanship Of
Shilling, who has ridden him in all the
races he has won at the meet.
After a delay of twelve minutes at
the post the field was sent away to an
almost perfect start. Rockville was
the first to show, followed by Black
foot and Novelty, with the others we'll
punched. Love Not, off in sixth place,
went up next the rail with a tremen-
dous burst of speed and soon had a
lead of one and one-half lengths. AT
the end of the quarter Novelty lay in
second place with Shilling steadylng
him, and Iron Mask third, a head be-
fore Rockville, with Bashtl back in
the bunch. At the far turn Love Not
was sailing out in front with three
length lead and going easy, whereas
Novelty had already felt the whip At
the turn into the stretch Love Not
still held a length.
Shilling then began to ride in earnest
and Novelty responded gamely. AT
the last furlong pole he was ON even
lead and appeared an easy winner,
when new danger 'oomed UP in the
fast coming Bashti, who managed to
get clear of the bunch, and saving
ground on the home turn set sail for
the leaders. Shilling, however, was
alert He pulled his whip and Nov
city answered by flashing under the
wire by a little over half a length.
In the fifth race Ocean Bound, car
rying 119 pounds, squaled the American
record for one mile when she ran the
distance in 1887 2-5.
