Sheepshead Bay race track to-day, a
large crowd, estimated at 5000 persons,
was drawn to the races by the attractive
card presented
The air was dead calm and excessively
humid. but, although the ring was sitting,
the crowd struggled about the betting
booths and fought until the perspira tion
ran in streams in their effort to place
their money on the good things" they
had selected.
The only stake race of the day was the
Zephyr stakes for 2-year-olds, which had
a guaranteed cash value of 81. 800 This
event proved a surprise TO the talent

carried, was heavily backed at l to 2,
while Walter was hardly noticed. Yet
the latter passed the favoriUe with the
greatest ease, and won in the most hol-
low fashion by a full length. Harry
Reed secured the place from Midgeley by
ten lengths.
