THE TURF.

New York, July Am spite of the
pouring rain, the attendance at
Sheepshead Bay was quite large
They were drawn to the track by the
Realization stakes, which was the
richest three-year-old event of the
year. The track was a sea of mud
and when the first race was called the
course from the gate to the judges
stand looked like a pond.
1t was nearly 4 o'clock when tho
horses in the Realization stakes were
called to the post. The betting had
been lively. opening with keenan, as
favorite at to 10, while Bright
Phoebus was next in demand at to
L Counter Tenor was y 10 to l and
the others 10 10 !. with the exception
of King Arthur III who was at 80 to
l. The horses got the flag with Crom-
well in the lead. Passing the stand
at the end OF the first half mile he
had four lengths the best of it, with
Connoisseur a head in front of Kee-
nan, he two lengths ahead of Counter
Tenor and the others following The
pace was fast and they got to the
mile post with Cromwell still running
easily but only three lengths in front
of keenan,. who had displaced Con-
noisseur, while the latter was five
lengths in front of the field At the
mile and three-eights post Bright
Phoebus seemed to be the only horse
with anything left in him and as they
rounded into the stretch Reif got
down to his work and the game colt
responded with one of his irresistible
rushes. Steadily and surely Bright
Phoebus was gaining with a tirelesS
stride. Griffin was working hard with
xI-I Raiff
was far forward on Bright Phoebus
pushing the colt to mis- hardest and
trying to add to the advantage he had
and at the same time hold his mount
together for the last few strid1s. A
sixteenth of mile and both jockeys
were straining their mounts. This
was shortened to a few yards, then
bound forward and Reiff got Bright
Phoebus safely past the judges, the
winner of the big stakes, three
quarters of length. while keenan,,
beaten but not disgraced, came in
second and the rest far behind.
King Arthur Ill managed to get third
money.
