The boxes of the Belmonts, | | the Hitchcocks, the Keenes, the Mor- timers, the Birds, the Ripleys, the Kennedys, the Laniers, the Morgans and the rest of that fascinating fol- lowing of good racing, were occupied | by others equally interested in the| thoroughbred, perhaps not so well known in the bouts and routs of Upper Fifth avenue, but all supremely well dressed and quite as attractive and chic as any crowd ever seen at Long- champs or Deanville. From the boxes all down through the rows of grand stand seats there was | a succession of delightfully cool-looking | costumes in pale blue, pink and mauv | with all sorts of picture hats an | feathers and furbelows, with neat lit- | tle wraps, all ready for the inevitable | shower, which happily held off until the day’s sport was about over. If there were plenty of shirt waists and shirt sleeves sprinkled among the big crowd, they only went to show that {ithis was a purely representative Amer- fcan crowd, a regular Futurity crowd when employes were looking forward to becoming great bankers and the sult | model—36 bust, 43 skirt—had an eye | | upon a Fifth avenue residence. A finer lot of two-year-olds never left | Sheepshead Bay paddock than filed out | at half-past 4 o’clock en route to the | post for the great Futurity. There were | twenty in all and each trained to the | | hour, ready for the struggle over a try- | ing course—one hundred and seventy | feet less than three-quarters of a mile, with one slight bend. David Garrick, with Jenkins, a Western jockey, in| Pierre Lorfllard’s famous cherry and | | black, led the parade. The big son of | | Hanover and Peg Woffington looked | the ideal thoroughbred and 134 pounds appeared to rest lightly on his back’ Still it was a tremendous load to ask the youngster to carry such a journey, and few experienced turfmen cared to back him. | The Keene trio—Doublet, Little Mc- Cue up; Virginia Earle, Maher astride, | and Chacornae, with Spencer as pilot— | | followed in the order named and there | | was no mistaking which the hearty ap- | plause was for. The Juvenal gelding, | | big, strong and restless, looked from | side to side eager to break away. Spencer patted him, talked to him and kept him in his place passing the stand. | Then he almost wheeled, so nervous and impatient was he to get to running. Gulden, with Taral in the saddle, was quiet and docile, and Tenderloin, with the California boy, Piggott, on his back, | looked handsome enough to do great things. Green__Morris’ pair, Modrine and Wwater King, guided respectively by Bullman and Wedderstroud, were quickly recognized, and then came “pittsburg Phil's” badly named son of Russell and Active, Prestidigitator, Keene b L. | ate! | was sure of second place. | with unlucky Sims on his back. Plucky, JOUU SO S e 1 | of whom much was expected, looked | like a great tom, and “Harry” Lewis | appeared to enjoy his seat. Marcus | Dal colors were borne by St. Finnan, who, though he had not shown much form In his races, was much respected for his recent work. Musette, daughter of Juvenal, with Clayton up, Knight of Rhodes, with O'Cleary in the saddle,and | King Bramble, with Clawson astride, | followed In the order named, and then walked the Bromley pair, Windemere and Iroquois Belle, piloted by O’Connor and Shaw. Windemere, the particularly good- looking son of Iroquois and Trade Wind, came in for much admiration by the shrewd training element, who re- gretted only that it was the colt’s first time at the post. A round of applause for the next horse and jockey revealed little Odom on The Scotchman. Pale from his recent iliness, the result of a bad fall on Brighton Beach, the pride of the saddle bent his head in recogni- tion of the greeting. Few thought that | Mr. Clar colt had much chance to win, but everybody knew that the boy in the saddle would make the horse do his best. John Daly’'s Erwin, J. Hill up, led the Hyland pair. Okettee and Brigadier trailed the long procession. Hennessy had the mount on Okettee, who ran in J. Boden’s colors, but was coupled in the betting with Brigadier, who had “Tommy"” Burns for a pilot. The last named cold looked fit to race for his life, and nearly all the trainers I talked to in the paddock during the toilet-making of the candidates agreed he was the horse to beat. Once past the grandstand, the colts broke into jogs and canters and quickly took up their positions at the post. This was the order, Windemere being next the rail with the starter: Knight of Rhodes, Doublet, Plucky, Brigadier, Chacornac, Okettee, Iroquois Belle, ‘Water King, St. Finnan, Gulden, King Bramble, David Garrick, Modrine, Er- win, Musette, Virginia Earle, Prestidi- gitator, Tenderloin, The Scotchman, Windemere. According to the opinion of the own- ers, trainers and jockeys Windemere had the best position and Knight of Rhodes the worst. The favorites— Chacornac and Brigadier—however, were as badly off as Knight of Rhodes. The horses lined up in good order, less fractious than most big fields of two-year-olds, and then several chafing against the bit broke away. Brought back again into position, they appeared to be on even terms when the starter told them to “Come on,” and, moving as one body, they jumped forward as nicely lined as such a big field could possibly be, and the word “Go!” and the dropping of the flag, simultaneous- ly, witnessed one of the quickest and fairest starts ever seen. Modrine had a trifle the best of it, but Doublet, Virginia Earle and Chacor- nac were close up, and Windemere and Plucky and Brigadier were lapped on them. TIn the first quarter all were driving hard, for there was that wicked turn into the main track only a short distance away, and every boy knew that the first horse around the corner would not have to take any chance of being crowded out and would be better straightened for the run home. Bullman on Modrine was at work with hands and heels in the effort to stay in the lead. As they neared the end of the main track Modrine began to fall back, and as they straightened out the bay gelding Chacornac poked his white nose in front. Spencer’s red cap and blue and white spotted jacket showed up plainly now, for he was clear of the bunch on the outside. The race was by no means over, however, for Brigadier was coming with a rush, and in front of him shone the bright vellow jacket of O'Connor on Winde- mere. The last furlong pole was reached in safety without jostling or crowding, and then it was apparent that it was over, for Chacornac was go- ing easily, Spencer having a bit up his sleeve in case of accidents, while every boy was driving hard behind him. The pace was a little too hot for ‘Windemere and he began to drop back for Burns, who was working hard on Brigadier and wearing him down fast, until a sixteenth from home the son of Rayon d'Or got his head In front and Spencer was still going ably on Chacornac and as they went over the finish line the latter w | the fast time of 1:13 2-5 I | and tremendous quarters.

SPENCER, THE CALIFORNIAN, HAS THE MOUNT had something more than a neck the best of it, although he might have made | it more had he been so inclined. Briga- dier was in second place clear of the others, while Windemere staggered home a scant head in front of St. Fin- nan, and there was little daylight be- tween the others. Modrine, who had made the pace, had to be content with fifth place. Only yesterday James R. Keene pur- chased Chacornac for a sum announced to be $25,000.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Aug. 26.—At the National Circuit races at the Button- wood track to-day the attendance was 3000. In the one-mile championship Nat Butler and Coleman had no difficulty in Qqualifying, while the second trial heat, in | which’ Major Taylor rode and won, was too slow and had to be ridden over. This time the major was placed in a pocket, Bowler and Monroe beating him out for a place. In the final heat Coleman, Llew- ellyn and Nat Butler were the prize-win- ners in the order named. In the five-mile professional handicap Major Taylor would not ride, and al- though Nat Butler had a hard field to run against he won out. Munroe was a favor- ite and came in second. In the one-mile match rade between Earl Peabody of Chicago and Archie Rol- lins of this city, the latter cut ahead of Peabody on the home stretch and Pea- body claimed a foul, but the referee would not allow it and Rollins won.
