Dobbins and Sir Waiter Win the Two
Big Events at Sheepshead.

New York. June 2S.-The weather at
the Sheepshead Bay race track today
was decidedly more pleasant than it was
yesterday. Although the sun shoue
brightly, the fresh, salty breeze blowing
from the ocean tempered the rays and
made an almost perfect June day. The
continued hot. dry weather had left the
track rather dusty, but otherwise it was
in fine condition for fast racing, Dobbins
going a mile IN / 40 fat, which is within
two-ffths of a second Of the track record.
This was in the Tidal stakes for 3-year-
old foals Of 1891, which the great Dobbins
secured, in his usual easy style, by
length and a half from Sir Excess.
The Long Island handicap developed
terrific driving finish in a superb contest.
Sir Walter and Roche struggled furiously
in the stretch for first position, and Sir
Walter, only by the most gallant of ef
forts, succeeded in winning by nose,
after a furlong of heart-palpitating
racing. LOwlander, one Of the entries in
