SPEED OF THE sTEEps.
Large Attendance and Good Gard at
Sheepshead.

Sheepshead.
Sheepshead Bay, Sept 3.-The attend
ance here to-day was very large, fully
$1,000 persons being present, and as the
card was an exceptionally good one some
good racing was witnessed The defeat
of Sir Excess in the third race was a sore
disappointment TO the talent. He ran
as If decidedly short of work.
He was compelled TO strike his
colors to Patrician and Senator
Grady. 70 Tambien's defeat was another
sad blow to the talent, as she was beaten
out by John Cooper aud Saragossa. Like
Sir Excess, she was an OddS-on favorite.
Dominic and Clifford will meet in a race
for mile at weights-for-ages on Thurs
day. The Coney Island Jockey Club
agrees to add $1,000. II is expected that
this race will prove the turf sensation OF
