with his own Bromo and with Thun-
derer and Vermont, which are under
lease from II. P. Whitney. This entry
was the overnight favorite, with Thun-
derer, a full brother 20 the unbeaten
Regret, as the chief dependence, but
opinion WAS in no sense settled.
CelandriA, Msrse Henry, Primero and
the Belmont entry were not lacking IN
followers. 1t must be admitted, how
ever, that L. S. Thompson commands
the situation, and on recent form II
would not be surprising TO see his
colors first and second. All three OF
his entries have performed ereditaoly
in recent races. and all three are as
ready as the wizardry of Jimmy Rowe
can make them. OF the others, Celan-
dria and Marse Henry appear 10 be the
ones most likely 10 rob Mr.. Thompson
Of the fruits Of victory.
The Futurity was first run in 1888,
when Proctor Knott beat the great SAL
vator. II reached its high water marx
in value when Potomac earned $3.50
in 1890. Up 70 1910 It was run at the
home Of the Coney Island Jockey Club,
at Sheepshead Bay, but when the gates
Of that track were closed II was trans
ferred for three seasons TO Saratoga
Springs, but this year II comes back to
it's home district if not TO its home
track.
There have been cases, as this year,
when the best two-year-old OF the sea-
son was not eligible, but as rule the
winner has set TIE seal on his great
ness in this race and gone on to greater
things. Among those whose names
~ la~F - O
ness. Domino, Requital. Ogden, Yankee.
Hamburg Belle. Artful, the unbeaten
Colin, Maskette, Novelty and Pennant.
Trojan won the race a year ago, but
unfortunately broke down, and conse-
quently has been unable TO establish
his right TO the honor.
As to the racing yesterday, it was far
more entertaining and interesting than
on Thursday, although no particular
fixture stood out as a feature. The
Sheriff and his deputies were not so
active. as only two arrests were made,
so that the feeling Of unrest was
largely dissipated. This, no doubt, was
due TO the fact that the arrests of
Thursday will furnish enough tests to
satisfy the most captious.
August Belmont's Fernrock won the
Locust Valley Handicap, beating SKY
Pilot. Jacoba and Pleione. He came
away rather cleverly in the last fur
long after a stirring struggle with
Jscoba, the FLY for which the owner
Of the Shoshone Stable paid Jack
Keene $4,000 at Saratoga Springs soon
after she won the Spinaway Stakes.
Mr.. Belmont could not score a double,
however, as Friar Rock, his Rock Sand
two-year-old, was unable 10 give Harry
Shaw nineteen pounds, according 10
the scale, in the Port Washington Han,
dicap, at one mile. II was the general
opinion in the paddock that the young
ster was quite capable OF beating his
older opponent, even though 1t also was
felt that the scale favors two-year-olds
AZ This time of the year. Harry Shaw,
however. was at his best, and while
bearing out in the stretch had no
trouble in winning.
Johnny McTaggart, who rode Friar
Rock. went before the stewards and
lodged q claim Of foul against the win
ner. but IL was not allowed, and right
fully. so far as could be seen from the
stand.
Burlingane enjoyed one Of his best
DAYS and rode three winners-Sir VIII
lam Johnson in the nrst race, Lazy
Teresa in the third and O'Sullivan in
the Afth. He accepted only three
mounts, so that his winning percentage
was 1000.
Burlingame is a strong, capable rider,
and il is rather surprising he does not
get more mounts.
Tommy McTaggart had the offer OF
a couple Of mounts, but declined, as
ne wanted TO res, up and be at his best
for the Futurity.
J. ". Hedrick, jr., who generally IS
a, out with a halter on his arm, scared
out the best three horses In the ffth.
Yankee Notions and Wooden Shoes
1xers entered 10 be sold for $500 each
and Hedge for $500, but their owners
evidently were afraid Of Hedrick and
his selling race activities and scratched.
