Long Island Handicap Won by Sir
Walter.

NEW YORK, June 2S-At Sheepshead
Bay, to-day, number of well-contested
races were seen. The best was the Long
Island Handicap, in which six were sent to
go the mile and a furlong, and a very close
finish resulted. Rowe tried four times to
send them away, and they got off beauti-
fully, with the exception Of Lowlander,
who refused to bulge from his position.
When they got in line for the fifth time
the starter told them to come on" which
they promptly did, and Lowlander was left
standing, amid the applause Of the specta-
tors. Fred Douglas took up the running,
followed by St. Michael, and with the 9TH
Sir Walter, Roche and Don Alonzo set sail
for the leaders, and soon had them at the
whip. and 1t was hammer and tongs all
the way down the stretch. Roche tried in
vain to overcome the lead of a nose which
Sir Walter had, and all OF Simrnss des-
perate riding could not get Don Alonzo any
nearer than third. and thus they finished.
