to l, but Phil Plucky Enough to
Hit Them Hard-Three Horses Fall
During Races and Their Jockies
Have Marrow Escapes.
New York, June 29.-Pleasant weather
again prevailed at the Sheepshead Bay
race track to-day, although during the
last races the track was enveloped in a
heavy mist swept in by the ocean breezes,
which became so heavy that the horses
could scarcely be distinguished in the
last race, and no time was taken.
The entries were unusually numerous,
nearly 100 horses being down on the card,
but they were as a general rule poor
lot, the programme containing more low
grade horses than at any previous time
during the meeting. Starter Rowe had
very difficult task in starting the racers,
the fields being so large that it was well
nigh impossible to handle them.
The track was in fine shape, and the
attendance was surprisingly large for
Friday.
In the second race, Prim fell and his
jockey, Cox, narrowly escaped injury,
number of the horses going over him.
Prim arose and finished the race rider
less.
In the third race, Sir knight, the IA
vorite, tripped and sent his rider, Griffin,
heavily to the ground. The jockey, how
ever, sustained nothing worse than a
severe shaking up.
In the last race, Bucephalus tumbled
over, and Barry, his mount, was badly
hurt
The only stake event was the Pansy
stakes, which proved a big upset for the
talent, the Commoner, an odds on favor
ite, with Taral up, not being able to finish
better than third. Havoc, IL to l shot,
won by head from Prince of Monaco.
