GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

SHEEPsHEAD BAY RACE TRACK, July
about 10000 men and women, lovers
of the race horse, saw Marcus Daly's three
year-old colt Tammany win the Realization
Stakes at the Bay this afternoon in a COM
mon hand gallop. Garrison rode Tammany
and he never had to urge the great colt at
any stage of the mile and ive-furlong jour
ney. After the preceding events had been
captured by Jockey Jimmy McLaughlin's 8
Key West 10 to 1; the Double Event by
August Belmont's Corduroy, Z to 10, and
Father Bill Daly's Cynosure, 3 to 1, the
spectators began to lay out their commits
sions on the various candidates in the Real
ization. The Pepper, the Western colt,
was the first to be plunged on. His average
opening odds were 81 to 1, but here and
there could be seen to 1. In a twinkling
to had disappeared and moment later
the 81. There appeared to be a world Of
Pepper money among the spectators. Lake
lands victory was pounded by the Brighton
Beach talent. and steady stream of big
money kept Tammany from going higher
than to 1.
Tammany and Victory Were Favoritea
At post time Tammany and Victory were
equal first choices at to 2, The Pepper
being close second choice at 7 to 2 There
was no delay at the post. They were sent
away at the very first attempt, Entire and
Marcus Daly's second representative, She'll
bark, being the lesders. It was understood
that Entire was simply to cut out the pace
for The Pepper, while Shellbark was to do
similar work for Tammany.
At the end of five furlongs The Pepper
was sent out from the bunch, Jockey Simms
finding Shellbark and Entire unsatisfactory
pace makers Garrison held Tammany back
in last place, two lengths behind the bunch.
After seven furlongs had been covered The
Pepper was running under pull three
lengths in front of the field, and Garrison
let out q wrap of Tammany's reins and
shot through the tail end of the bunch into
fifth place. He tossed his competitors aside
one by one, and at the end of mile and a
furlong Tammany was third, length be-
hind Victory, who already had grown leg
weary and was receiving the whip and
spur.
Whom TammaDy Went Ahead.
Turning into the home stretch Garrison
and Tammany bade adieu to Victory and
Hamilton and made giant strides toward
the Western colt, who was still three
lengths in front. With three lengths of
the home stretch to travel, the spectators
or at least that portion of them that knew
Garrison's tactics, were confident that the
race was Tammany's, barring accidents.
With quarter Of mile to 60, Jockey
Sims turned about in his saddle and saw
Garrison laughing at him. The colored
boy brought his whip down repeatedly on
The Peppers sides, but he could not gain
an inch on Tammany. The great colts legs
worked with the precision of piston rod,
and his machine-like motion forced him
past the swerving Western colt a sixteenth
from the finish, which was reached with
Tammany first by length and half, The
Pepper second by eight lengths, Patron
third by a length, Victory fourth by q
head and Charles fifth by eight lengths, the
others being beaten off It was decidedly
uninteresting finish, but the spectators
very generously applauded Garrison and the
great colt for the impressive manner in
which they had defeated their opponents.
The stake is worth about $35, 900, the owner
of the second horse to receive So, 900 and
the owner of the the third horse $4,000.
Tho Time Was Not Fast
The time, 2:51 %, is not fast, but this is
for by the fact that the pace was
slow in the first part of the race and the
track soft and cuppy, making fast time out
OF the question.
Keen's Atlantic snatched the Maiden 2
year-old race from Julia Kinney BY a
head, and Taral won the closing race over
the grass with the 10 to chance SNOWFALL,
the to favorite, being
beaten by head.
