shook himself clear coming into the
last furlong, but he had a full length

stride too short. He responded gamely
TO every call from Notter, and foot by
foot cut down the lead of his then only
opponent; but as in the Futurity, Just
failed to get up.
Gillies is good looking colt by Og-
den-Golden Drop, and hence a full
brother to Paris, which won the Cham
payne Stakes in Mr.. Madden's colors
year ago, but which has not been seen
this year. He was far back in the run
ming Of the Futurity, due largely. ac-
"ording to his jockey, TO meeting with
much Interference. Mr.. Madden told
MS friends that ne had a royal chance
to win yesterday If he would run to his
work, and the colt, with clear sailing.

big pull in the weights.

Trial by Jury Scores.
The Jerome Handicap, at one ,jle.

hearts thump. Trial by Jury, under
l27 pounds, beat The Finn, under 1873
pounds, BY the width of hand, run a
ming the mile in 1;3s 2-5.
Tommy McTaggsrt had the mount on
Trial by Jury, and great is the power
Of the whip whom used by such lusty
Jockey. IL is fair to say that The Finn
would have won in another stride, as
ne was running the stronger Of the
two at the end, but Captain Cassatt
cared not whit for this, as Trial by
Jury established himself at one mile
at least the equal Of any three-year-old
OF the year. barring, Of course, H. P.
Whitney's unbeaten Regret.
The race was a stirring battle from
the start, and II must be told that The
Finn, usually a slow breaker. earned
every advantage as the barrier flashed
up By getting away on his toes and
forcing the pace for a furlong or SO.
Davies then took back, wisely no doubt,
and let Saratoga and then Hauberk
make the running, keeping his mount,
however, always within striking dis
lance.
/ II also must be told that Trial by
Jury was forced TO run on the outside
all around the turn, a distinct handi-
cap, and that yet he was good enough 70
wear Hauberk down in the stretch and
TO withstand the mighty challenge from
| The Finn in the last sixteenth. Il was
thoroughly good performance for
/ both horses.

around the last turn Of the grueliinx
three mile journey. but he blunderei
two jumps from home and sent Mr..
Brabazon sprawling so that the Green

walked home, as Black and White, the
only other starter, was lengths away.

changed the whole complexion of af-

Cyril Brabazon has ridden many win

/ he would come TO grief yesterday, after
seeing him rush his mount at some OF
the jumps with apparently loose rein
( The horse may have been altogether to

A reflection Of last years popularity
was shown in the applause which
! greeted James Buffers Comely when
: she raced to easy victory in the handi-
cap for mares and when Butwell
brought her back TO the scales.
She had started only twice before
this season, running second once and
third once, but came out yeste-day
thoroughly freshened and APPARENT
! fully returned 10 the form which m ads
her rank with the best Of her age last

Her speed as the barrier few up. was
dazzling. She opened up . gap OF six
