SHEEPsHEAD BAY RACE TRACK, June IL
The weather at Sheepshead Bay to-day was
simply perfect. The softest OF Dreezes was
blowing direct from the south, and as It
leaped from wave to wave on mother oceans
bosom, It nIpped some Of the cOolness from
the water and brought It over to the specta-
tors on the grand stand in caresSing way
that was very refreshing.
1t was simply an ideal day for racing. The
binding, scorching heat OF yesterday was
missing, and starChed shirts retained their
glossy stiffness throughout the afternoon.
OF course after the terrific rush OF yester-
day one couldn't expect to see many people
at the track to-day There was quite crowd,
however, Notwithstanding nearly every one
went home broke yesterday.
The programme was good one, consider
ing that all the cracks were out yesterday.
There We're live good races on the card, In
cluding two stake events.
The Third race was blank. owing to tine fall
ure OF owners To enter their horses, so another
race, with selling conditions, was substituted.
Selling races always fill Well.
The track was In perfect condition. 1t
couldn't be otherwise with Supt. Frank
Clarke in charge. He always keeps the track
on edge, as does trainer his thoroughbreds.
Isaac Murphy, the celebrated jockey, is
much disturbed over a loss he met with yes
terday. HIS purse, containing n $1,000
check, e75 in money and some receipts which
are OF no value 70 any one but him, was lost
during the afternoon.
Isaac doesn't care about the money, but he
wants the receipts. The check has been
stopped
The first race was over the Futurity course,
short three-quarters Of a mile. Kingston,
so the shrewd ones and the boOkies said,
couldn't lose, Notwithstanding he was carry
ing a small-siZed mountain OF weight. Every
one regarded hin as well-nigh invincible at a
mile or under.
Subsequent events proved that he was, for
he won in the easiest possible manner.
Correction, who was third choice and was
not heavily played for the reason that Jockey
Bryant rode and because she performed
poorly yesterday, made the running all the
way and finished second.
Kitty Van, the second choice ran good, but
her distance is flye furlongs, and she stopped
just before reaching the wire, finishing third.
The second race was the Daisy Stakes at
hYe fuIlongs. II was run on the grass and
was appropriately named, notwithstanding
there wasn't any daisies to run on.
NOmad certainly looks the best Of the lot,
and the bOokies evidently thought so, for the
best odds they laid were even money, and
this was eagerly snapped up.
The GuJtenburger Lester still held some
portion Of the public eSteem for he was Sec
ond choice and lot OF money was played on
him.
Brown Beauty was n great tip, and was
played down nom 30 to to l. HaDenny had
some support and lorling did not lack back
The race went TO long shot, Charade, who
came through with magnificent burst OF
speed and beat Nomad, the tavorite, quite
handily. Lester, the second choice. was
third.
The third race filled out well with good
class OF horses. EOlO, with Bergen up, was
the choice at generous OdGs.
The rogue Reporter was second choice
while Nardee, RiCO Dr. Hclmuth and Gallifet
were even up In the publiCs estimation for
third choice.
Reporter ran kindly and won handily from
Rico. DR.. Helmuth was third.
