Favopites and Short Horses
Break Even on Latonia'S
Last Day.

WESICHESIER. N. L. JuH0 o.
Twenty thousand or more persons
pushed and jostled each other here to-
day in an endeavOr to get the best of
the Odds and they were treated to some
firSt-claSs sport and a dead heat be-
tween three horses. The weather was
not very promising at first, but as the
afternoon wore on the sun came out
bright and strong and livened things up
wonderfully, and the track was like
chain lightning. The two fixed events
of the card were the Great Eclipse
stakes for two-yeaT-olds and the New
York Jockey Club handicap for three
year-olds and upwards. The former was
won by Marcus Daly's colt Tammany,
an outsider in the betting, while
Osrlc, Dagonet and He'll Gate were
close together at the finish, and the
Judges could not separate them and
called it dead heat. The stake was
worth to the winner about $50, 500. The
handicap also resulted in the success of
an outsider in the betting, Eon, at Z to
/. took the lead in the stretch, and won
In very fast time. The favorite, Iris
tan, was shockingly ridden by Garrison
or he would have been much closer up.
