GOOD SPORT AT SHEEPSHEAD.
A Large Crowd and Good Rscing-The
Full Course Hurdle.

Full Course Hurdle.
New YORK, June 23.-The attend
ance was very large at Sheephead's Bay
to-day for the weather and the card.
In the Foam stakes, Gutta Percha
was an odds on favorite but could not
win, the Coon getting his nose in
front at the critical prriod. The others
were beaten of. Clifford declined the
issue with Stonewall in the opening
race and the Dwyer sprinter won as he
chose from q poor lot. Melody looked
a winner all over in the third race but
Deception came fast in the last eighth
and nipped her on the post at GOOD
odds. The Coney Island handicap was
the medium OF much betting, Sir
rocco having a shade the better
OF Armitage, Hurlingham and Prig,
but the three finished in that order.
Roche had no difficulty whatever in
winning his race from Herald and
Spread Eagle. The sixth race for sell
Jog plsters was an easy victory FOR
Lord Harry. The SteeplechaSe over the
full course was comedy OF errors for
one after another bolted until finally
only three were able TO do anything.

at the finish he won by good length.
