At 5:15 both went about again, while
over 100 craft of al! sizes patiently
awaited the coming of the racers at the
outer mark. The Puritan tackled for it at
5:23, when the Genesta was yet nearly two

whistles from the flotilia of steamers
greeted her A moment later her
spinnaker was broken out to port, max
ing beautiful picture as she slipped
away over the now almost glossy
surface OF the undulating swells toward
the brilliant sun-sky in the west. The
committee, finding ii impossible TO sail the

Sheepshead Bay: Unrest. taking the lead
with the flag, was really never headed, and
finally won by three lengths from the Cali

few strides it looked as if he would reach
Unrest. but Onley, drawing his whip,
brought the Rancocas filly right away, win

lengths, followed by Joe Howell and Rush

The Times says: Rancocos stable withdrew
Wanda and won the race with Unrest,
while the great California colt Volante,
who got off badly, ran second. He carried
top weight, and g Lucky" Baldwin felt
somewhat nettled over the result He
challenged the owner of any three-year-

for match, but cooled down after a while
when the officials of the Coney Island
Jockey Club offered grand sweepstakes
for three-year-o lds; for Volante, Wanda,
