the Futurity, a spectacle in one act.
Royal liacera Appear.
There came a time when the buzr of con
versation ceased with the last note of the
band. The throng was waiting. Then there
came down the track a string of horses
placarded with numbers and bearing little
men In gay Jacket's.
Except that the string was longer. It did
not at first sight' look much different, from
the three cavalcades which had preceded
it.
The sightseers' bent forward, studying ev
ery detail of the straight-limbed racers, fix
ing In their memories the color of Jackets
and the configuration of necks and bodies.
The horees cmbled around to the starting
post. A wave of straw hat3 surged to the
rail from the lawn. In the field at start
and finish another wave was rolling. Those
who sat in the boxes leaned forward. The
platform of the clubhouse was filled with
men who intently watched while the waver
ing line, six furlongs away, was trying to
get ready for-the start.

Ihe scarlet and the white. The throng
rressed closely to the rails, stood up In
its seats, grasped the chairs and leaned far
out. Then down the course, leading all the
rest, came J. E. Madden's Yankee, running
easily, yet with" a speed which seemed to
those who had neglected to bet on the
Cherry and white hoops, like the speed of
a locomotive. Behind him was Lux Casta,
regarded earlier In tho day as a light
which would fall, and then Barron.
Lanrela for the Victor.
The .crowd lifted up Its voice In loud ac
claim when Yankee crossed the line, for
getful of favorites and of shattered hopes
in same cases, and a band down on the
lawn lauded the victor with the strains of
"Yankee Doodle"
Then they led forth the-Yankee, panting
and bearing the dust of the arena, as the
ctor of the field of the cloth of gold.

HOW IT AM, HAPPENED.
BY JOCKEY "WINNIE" O'CONNOR.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, Aug. 30. Yankee never
gavc'me an anxious moment through
the race.
He was a bit slow breaking at the
start, but he soon got to thc'Ieaders
4 and, when I called on him forva win
4 nlng effort, he responded quickly,
arid the race was Yankee's.
He is a great honja and I think he
can beat any 2-year-old in the coun
4 try. It was a true-run race, and
4 there Is no question In my mind that
4 the best horse won.
a
' St a good Jockey for her. Carroll D. was
not seriously considered, so that his ellm-
lnatlon was not a surprise.
I Of all these who warmed up before the
I race Barron, Hyphen and Pentecost at
tracted most attention. The last named is
not built on the same heroic lines as som:
pt his rivals, but, as the sequel showed, he
ran better as far as he went than two
thirds of the field. A magnificent sight was
presented by the nineteen starters as they
filed by the stand. A grander lot of young
sters than that composing the field cou'd
not be got together. In point of condi
tion both Rogers and-Mndden were equally
confident that their candidates would win.
The owner of Lux Casts, H. T. Oxnard,
stated before the race that he bad great
hopes of winning with the Imported filly.
Nasturtium's Poor Start.
At the post the barrier In use hereabouts
all season, called the McGlnnis machine,
was in position, as Mr. Whitney had sug
gested In the morning that It was not fair
to horse owners or to the public to. make
the change to the Clark machine ulth such
a big field and Important race as the Futur
ity. There were several breaks of small
Import, In one of them Gunfire spoiling a
good start. When the flag fell, after about
fifteen minutes' delay, it looked from the
top of the grand- stand like a good start.
But Mr. Whitney states that he was In
formed "that after the flag fell Nasturtium
'wheeled and lost so much ground that It
was almost a hopeless case with him. This.
Turner confirms. At any rate. Nasturtium'

IlEPnnLIC SPECIAL.
Boston, Aug. 31. A special to the Trav
eler, from Lake Sunapee, N. H.. says that
unless all the signs fall. Rear Admiral Wil
liam T. Sampson has gone through his last
campaign. Those wio have had the priv
ilege of seeing him In the last week say he
will never be able to nppear before the com
ing court of inquiry In Washington.
Rear Admiral Sampson Is a very 111 man.
That Is the verdict of tho physicians, who
from time to time have quietly made tho
Journey from Boston to Portsmouth to at
tend him. The physicians , refuse to discuss
the case. One surgeon from the Portsmouth
Navy Yard said:
"The Admiral Is doing as well ns can be
expected."
It was a little more than a week ago that
the Rear Admiral was seen by the town
folk for the first time. He was driven Into
the village but became so weak that a hur
ried return was made to the hotel. Several
physicians were promptly summonded but
there was little they cauld do but ease
the Rear Admiral from pain.
When Rear Admiral Sampson arrived at
Burk Haven with his wife. It wns expected
the change would. result In a marked Im
provement In hU condition, but, instead of
showing an Improvement, his condition has
grown steadily worse.
Several naval veterans from Boston, aft
er repeated calls, were .permitted 'to see
Rear Admiral Sampson for a few minutes
on Thursday.
What he ?ald to them was unintelligible
and the visitors were hastily dismissed.
One of them said! it appeared to him as

4 WIUTAEY DISAPPOINTED 4
4 AT XASTt'RTIUJrS DEFEAT. 4
O BY W. C. WHITNEY. 4
4 REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
4 New York, Aug. 30.-I wns, of 4
4 course, glad to see Yankee- como to
4 the front as long ns Nasturtium I
4 could not win.
4 As to the latter's defeat, I have 4
4 made careful inquiries and find that 4.j
4 -the colt wheeled at the post after j
4 the barrier went up. After that it 4
4 'seemed that he had no chance. I still 4
4 believe him a great colt, and will 4
4 convince the public of It before long. 4
4 Mr. Madden deserves success, for
- he never tires in looking after the 4
4 management of details. I told my
4 son Harry last night that Mr. Mad-
4 den would probably win with
4 Yankee, because twelve months ago
we both saw him breaking tha colt 4

and a length or two back, near the rails.
King Hanover Joomcd up very dangerously
in spite of his high weight.
Yankee Pat ta the Tctt.
"The favorite Is beaten," walled the
crowd. "Lux Casta wins," shrieked those
who were overanxious to announce the re
sult. But the. race was not over yet.
O'Connor drew his whip on Yankee and the
colt, responding in the gamest manner,
quickened his stride, and, foot by foot,
crept up on the Hying leader. Odom was
hard at work with whip and spur on Lux
Casta, in an effort td earn tho coveted
honors, but Yankee, with long, even strides,
was not to be denied. A hundred yards
from the wire the two were head and head.
Lux Casta hung on gamely, and for a few
strides neither could claim nn advantage.
It wns a stirring struggle, a bitter light,
and tho monster crowd was cheering and
shouting. Then came the cry, "Yankee
wins," as, foot by foot, he drew away and
passed under tho wire a length and a half
In front. Lux Casta was an easy second
and Barron, closing with a rush, earned
third money by a head from De Reszke.
Then came Pentecost. King Hanover, Gun
fire and the other. Nasturtium was f:ir
back.
The time, 1:09 1-5. broke the record, the
best previous being by Ballyhoo Bey and
Ogden, who each won It In 1:10.
Victory Waa Clenn Cnt.
It was a clean-cut. decisive victory for
Yankee, whose owner declares that he be
lieves him to be the horse of the century.
In to-day's race he was whipped for the
first time In his life. He Is nothing like as
fit as he will be two weeks later. Indeed,
he looks like a colt who would Improve
each time he runs.
Mr. Whitney stated after the race that,
while he was disappointed at Nasturtium's
poor showing, he was satisfied that It was
becaure he wheeled at the post, and was
sure to ;how the public later that he was a
'good colt.
Whitney's Interest In Yankee.
Mr. Whitney, as half owner of Yankee
and Gunfire, was pleased at the success of
the former, but would have been better
pleased if either Nasturtium or King Han
over, owned cntlrely-by him, had won.
Yankee cost 120,000 last year at the sale
of the last of the produce of the lamented
Hanover. He was out of the famous mare
Correction, full sister to Domino, and was
bred on- shares by Milton Young and l
Messrs. A. H. and D. H. Morris, the for
mer placing the . services of Hanover
against the mare's, sent to the farm by
tho JleSsrs. Morris, and the two breeders
dividing the proceeds of the rale of the
yearlings, each reserving the right to bid.
Yankee had won his only two starts prey
lous to to-day. They were at Saratoga, In
over night e-ents. and while not'convlne-
u In themselves to outsiders their vma I
taken by the trainer as good evidence that
with one or two more works In him the big
colt would win the Futurity, which he has
Yankee has h-number of rich engage
ments in England and France for 1902 and
1903. They comprise the derby. Grand Prix
and Doncastcr'Bt. Ledzer of 1903; and the
Jockey Club stakes (10,000 sovs), the Good
wood cup and the Longfleld Plate (3,000 sovs)

day that the colt is likely to be sen t' abroad

if the disorder was of a mental nature and
that the Admiral wore a haunted, haggard
look. No visitors are now allowed to see
him.
Tho Rear Admiral cannot move even the
shortest distance without assistance. He
acts like one tiho has not the slightest In
terest In life.
Thorc who surround him have taken every
precaution that his condition shall not be
known even to thore who live In the hotel.
It Is said that all news regnrdlng the
Echloy court of Inquiry Is kept away from
tho Rear Admiral. His condition is so
alarming that the slightest sheck, it is felt,
will result Berlously.
Tho rule regarding the nonadmittance of
visitors was broken yesterday and only thsn
to allow Secretary of State Hay and Post
master General Charles Emory Smith to
call on tho Admiral. They made a brief
stay and when they came forth from the
hotel tho faces of both men were very
grave.
Secretary Hay was questioned as to Ad
miral Sampson's condition and he replied:
"You must excuse me; there Is nothing I
can tell you."
Postmaster General Smith said:
"Admiral Sampson 13 far from being a
well man," and declined to go Into any de
tails. MAY' DIE BEFORE INQUIRY'.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Aug. 31. It Is reported In
Washington to-night that Rear Admiral
Sampson Is very dangerously ill. , Secretary
of State Hay and Postmaster General

for the statement that the Rear Admiral
cannot live until the date fixed for the
meeting of the Schley Court of Inquiry.
made nt Saratoga, he receives twenty-five
per cent of thi stake, because he scratrhed
Hatosoo and permitted Mr. Madden to have
O'Connor ride the colt. Tha value of the
stake was as follows: To win, J35.9I0: to
second, J1.15C.M; to third. &LOS334. The
breeder of the first, second and third horsa
received j:,M, Jl.ao nnd J5W. respectively.
Mr. Follar.see, one of the stewards of the
meeting, was nt the starting post and
stnUs that Nasturtium, after getting under
wny shied or propped at a wet rpot of
earth, and thorcby lost some ground, but
not a sreat deal. In his opinion. Turner,
the rider of Nasturtium, thought It was
almost useless to persevere, after the flag
fell and Nasturtium had wheeled.
Prior to the Futurity, Mr. Clarence H.
Mackey. owner of Heno, one of the starters,
was at-ked his opinion as to the probable
outcome. He sold that Mr. Madden had
not tried colt against colt, but bad given
each of his candidates their work against
the watch and was puzzled to discriminate
except that on Yankee's improvement over
his two public performances nt Saratoga,
he thought he would be very clcse to win
ning. Mr. Foxhall P. Keeile was also one
of those who before the race declared that
he liked Yankee In act'on.

The first stafce of the St. Lonl
WorliPa Fair -111' he driven In Foreat
Park next Tuesday morning.
At that time a party of surveyors,
nctlns nnd'er ,th direction o! Chief
Architect Isaac 5. Taylor, trill ran
the lines for the buildings to be
erected on the site, and vrlll stake
off their limits.
Chief Architect Taylor made this
announcement yesterday.
This survey Is necessary to determine ac
curately the space available for the struc
tures. At present the ground plans use
only the topographical .data obtained by
Engineer Julius Pltzman from former sur
veys that had no relation to the World's
Fair.' Only a certain space In tho park is j
sufficiently; level to permit of use for the
big exhibit buildings. This ground is grad
ed to an average of sixty-six feet, the
ground rises abruptly, almost perpendicu
larly in some places, to an elevation of
132 feet aboe the city directly, forming
the four "lookout points" with which vluit
ors to Forest Park are familiar. If all
this ground were to be graded to a com
mon Ieva.1 It would require the adjusting of
a 'difference In level of fifty-six feet- This
would be a work of great difficulty. Ac
cordingly only the approximately level land
will be u9d, and the survey Is designed to
ascertain accurately the extent of this land.
When these data have been determined,
blue-prints rotting them forth will be pre
pared, which will give each architect the
exact dimensions of the plan of the build
ing he Is to design.
When these blue-prints are competed, the
buildlng3 will bo assigned to individual
architects.

Offices for the Chief Architect and Direc
tor of Works will be opened next Thurs
day, or as soon before as they can be ftr

floor of the Odd Fellows building, at Nnta
and Olive streets. The exposition drafting
force and the Exposition engineers will have
their headquarters there. The first force
will consist otpnly four or five persons.
As soon as Colef Architect Taylor receives
the first drawing for a World's Fair build
ing, or for a. portion of one. the force will
be Increased until between 75 and 100 drafts
men are employed In making detail work
ing drawings at the Chief Architect's of
fice. AH drawings for buildings will be
prepared under the' direction of tha Chief
Architect and the structures will be erect

Works. These two offices are combined In

Charles Clafiin Allen, Associate City.
Counselor, returned Friday from Colorado.
While, in .Denver last week Mr. Allen pre;
sented a memorial on behalf of the Louis
iana Purchase Exposition Company, asklntr
the American Bar Association to. unite with
the company in holding a universal con
gress of lawyers during the World's TaSs
in 1903.
LAWYERS FLAX TO HOLD
.UNIVERSAL CONGRESS.
L The memorial and an Invitation to the.
association to meet in au ajouis in ixu wexw
referred to a committee of nine, which re
ported favorably on both measures. A res
olution was adopted commending; tha plan
and providing for the appointment of a
'committee consisting qf a represeotaUTa
from each State and Territory In the Union .
to arrange- the details, and Instructing tha "
President and Executive Committee to do
all In their power to co-operate with the'
World's Fair authorities In holding; the con
gress. .
""The posstbiliUes." seldMr. Allen, of .
universal congress of lawyers are limit- ,
less. It will be an Interesting sight to set
together not only lawyers of North and
South America and the different countries
of Europe, but also learned Jurists and
scholars from India, China and Japan. , The
holding of such a congress'would have-very
important political, .results at this time.
Within 'fifteen or twenty, years Japan has
changed her. system of laws from the an
cient usages to a modern code. China, too.
presents a field in which legal problems are
much confused.
"The occupation of China by the Powers '
brings into direct conflict old laws and cus
toms predicated upon Confucianism with
the system of laws predicated upon the
Roman law and English common law. A,
universal congress of lawyers In whlcn
learned Chinese Jurists discuss problems
of the law with European and American
Jurists, ought to be not only intensely In
teresting, but valuable to the United States
and to the world at large."
