Pittsburg Phil Uncorks An
other Good Thing at
Sheepshead Bay,
But an Error in Dagonet's
Weight Reduces His Win
nings to $4,000.
Not a Solitary Favorite Was
First Under the Wire in
Six Races.


weather conditions this afternoon were
pretty much the same as those which
prevailed on Futurity day. but the track
was in fairly good shape. The most
sensational feature of the sport was
Parvenue's victory in the fourth race.

George B. Smith, bet OH his colt Par
venue, II OF only at the track and in
the city pool rooms, but also in nearly
all the rooms throughout the country.
Unfortunately for him an error in the
secretary's Office which caused Dago-
nets weight to be announced as liz
pounds instead of 122, forced the exec
utlve committee to declare off all bets
after booking had been in progress ten
minutes. This nullified all of the
plunger'S bets made in the city and
country rooms.
AS Parvenue won, Pittsburg Phil only
won what bets he made at the track.
The declaring off of the bets cut his
winnings something like $4,000. He is
said to have Ouly bet s., $50 on Parve-
nue. in the second booking at an aver
age price of 10 to 1.
