Grimalkin following in Indian file in the order named Dun boyne was favorite with Purchase only slightly less considered Dimboynes victory proved popular His backers had many anxious moments as he was responsible for the eight minutes delay at tlie pest The first time he broke through the bar ¬ rier Returning with the redcoated guide he was aligned with his opponents and went through for the second time for an eighth However when the barrier arose Schuttinger had him in motion and by means of vigorous riding kept him in the lead throughout to win casing up His closest opitonent in the early stages was Pigeon Wing which re ¬ tired after the elbow had been passed Sir Barton was second He was always in close pursuit and InM on resolutely to withstand Purchases be ¬ lated closing rush Purchase bolted half way across the nick at the start but was going fastest of all st the end Lyke Ilul difficulty straightening him to his task ami his performance was a brilliant one Mormon and Thunderstorm also performed creditably creditablyPKICE PKICE McKINNEY A VISITOE VISITOEFuturity Futurity day brought out racing enthusiasts that have rarely been at the track this year Among the niiinlnr were Price McKinney who journeyed from Cleveland to see the race While Mr Mc Kinnev has sold all the horses he owned he still is interested considerably in turf affairs affairsThe The colors of Thomas Monahan will be seen again in the near future as he bought Pickwick and Peter at the sale W C Clancy will train Pickwick for him and Tom Welch will retain Peter in his stable with the Widener horses horsesJohn John Sanford was well satisfied with the sale of his yearlings and the horses in training It is the fall season said Mr Sanford and one could not expect the prices to be as high as if the racing season was just beginning Still they brought as much as I exacted as a whole some of them more than I anticipated anticipatedIn In speaking of W S Kilmers suggestion for a match race between Sun Briar and Roamer Mr Miller owner of the latter said Koamer would tart in the Red Cross Handicap at Laurel and possibly he would meet Sun IJriar in that event Mr Kilmer has said nothing to me alxmt a special race continued Mr Miller and until he docs I cannot talk intelligently on the subject subjectWith With the temporary retirement of John Sanford from turf activities came the friendly parting of the ways with his tniiner Win T Young whose three year contract was drawn up last year A settlement entirely agreeable to both was con ¬ summated It is Mr Youngs intention to remain in the east for a time that he may rest after the arduous task he has performed for the Amster ¬ dam turfman turfmanThe The manner of Sunny Slopes win in the Municipal Handicap carrying to victory the new Beach Stables colors was achieved in such easy fashion that ex ¬ pressions of regret were heard regarding the early retirement of Joliren and Sun IJriar While there are Korac who may not be convinced that the Astronomer colt is the best of his year his performance today warrants the belief that he could give any con ¬ tender a real argument Todays performance stamps him as the best of the hour if not the sea sou The slow pace he set and the even manner lie went about liis task justifies the belief that he might have equalled tlic record had he been extended extendedTrainer Trainer Geo Odotn was much dissatisfied with the result of the Futurity and expressed a desire to match Purchase with Dunboyne Tlie arrangement of such a contest is within the possibilities possibilitiesCol Col Franklin A Dennison who commanded the IJ7O Infantry United States Army on the American front and who distinguished himself in the eyes of tlie allied commanders was an inter ¬ ested spectator in company with his cousin Chas Anderson former collector of the port of New Yirk YirkCommander Commander J K L Boss came on from Montreal to see his horse Sir Barton run in the Futurity The colt was brought here by his trainer Guy Bed well after a work at Havre de Grace with Billy Kelly in which the latter carried 105 pounds while Sir ISarton had 127 pounds up The two raced close together throughout the threequarters over a slow track in 115 It was such a good exhibition said Bodwell that I just had to bring him on here hereThose Those who were at the start of tlie Futurity were surprised at the race run by Purchase He jumped in the air as the barrier arose and then swerved to the outside rail in the first eighth He was at least eight lengths behind all the others Had he started well and not swerved it was generally con ¬ ceded he would have been much closer to Dunboyue at the finish finishThe The Beach Stable paid 25000 for Sunny Slope and Sam Hildrth
