Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.

the Sheepshead Bay spring meeting was
today brought to close. The king race
of the day and meeting was the fourth or
race, in which $40, 600 was to
be won and lost. Salvador, under NC
landed the prize in the hands
of j. B. Haegin, the owner of the horse.
In fact, it was the richest 3-year-old race
of this or any other year, and brought to-
gether prominent turfmen from all parts
of the country. Among those present
we're: Senator Hearst, D. d. Withers,
A. Belmont, ]. +. Galway, Mike and
Phil Dwyer, Major Buck, ]. B. Haggin,
John Hunter and others. There wac
considerable disappointment expressed
because
GARRISON DID NOT RIDE,
In realization that he was engaged sew
eral days ago to ride Salvador by MIR.
Haggin, bur as Mclaughlin had also
been spoken to, there was nothing to do
but let him ride, as he had come on
from Chicago for that purpose. Then he
partly promised to ride Longstreet, but
as he could not get down to the weight,
112 pounds, he had to stand down, much
to his disgust. The attendance was a
throng so great as to prevent comfort or
convenience to any one.

HOW THEY RAN.
My Fellow, closely followed by Philan-
der, made the running for a mile and a
furlong, Salvador and Tenny waiting in
the rear. Longstreet and Eric remained
near the center of the field. Katia ran
with the leaders for half mile and then
retired. Philander dropped back at the
end of the first mile, and Longstreet took
second place, holding it until he swung
into the home stretch, where he seemed
to strike snag, judging from the abrupt
way in which he departed to the rear.
The pace was entirely too hot for Eric.
He was completely tagged out before
rounding the upper turn, and Hayward
eased him, seeing that he was hope
lessly beaten.
LIVELY FINISH.
Salvador moved up with bewildering
speed on the turn, taking the lead at the
head CT the stretch, with My Fellow at
his thro at, and Long Dance and Tenny
lighting for the middle Of the track. The
favorite clung to the rail so closely that
squeeze up beside him, 30 Mclaughlin
had only one side to guard. He took no
chances, but rode out with whip and
spur all the way down the stretch, Saliva
tor responding nobly to every touch OF
whalebone and steel. But even then he
narrowly escaped the terrific rush OF
Tenny, who, when Littlefeld got him
Strengthened out, came down upon the
finish like thunderbolt. Ten thousand
people thought Tenny bad won. A few
were of the opinion that the little fellow
did not get up, and with these the judges
agreed, for SAlvator's number was run
aloft.
Haggin's colt won by the shortest of
heads. When Salvator's number went
up there was chorus of Kisses, but it
was soon drowned by hearty cheers for
Mclaughlin and the victor.
Salvador first, Tenny second, Long
Dance third. Time, 2:51.
