| ToUIsETTE AND DUCHESS BOTH BEATEN AT SLEEPS
HEAD BAY.
The ocean looked deliciously cool and tempting to
the hcat-weary people at Sheepshcad Bay yesterday,
| who onged for tidal wave to sweep over them. 30
exciting were the races and so hot the air that
every ones blood was bounding and every ones face
| WIS flushed Fast time and fine running were Tlenti-
full but all the favorites failed, and gentle mean-
choly filed the Lomeward trains The two great
FLIES Duchess and Louisette, overcome. Ar
Tavroncc's weights for the Bridge Handicap looked
well on paper, but not one of the big field had a
chance with Water Lily and LouIsctte Water Lily
few weeks ago could not outrun Harlem horse car
Sow she defeat tho queenly Lonisotteat eighteen
| pounds difference in weight. Bat Loraette was mt
n, graccd She ran great race Mr.. Cassatt Wafer
Iys owner could take more pride in his stable if his
trainer were not unduiy intimate with bookmakers
But if Mr. Lawrcnces weights did not secure close
finish for the Bridge Handicap, they brought Monitor
Clonme and Duchess home at "a miles with only
short head. between them. That was q triumph OF
handicapping Possibly Duchess would have been
first instead Of third if Donohuc had waited little
longer Her wonderful speed might have saved her
it had been reserved for the hine+rcch But 1t was
called on so soon that she tired az the end.
That quant creature Duplex. was in running
mood, and won easily. So dd pie;ro Lorillards ia
