HARD RIDING AT THE START

Pace When the Decisive
Struggle Came.

NEW YORK, July An spite of
the pouring rain, the attendance at
Sheepshead Bay today was quite
large. They were drawn to the
track by the Realization stakes.
Which is 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 bend
to the judges stand looked like a
pond. 1t was nearly 4 o'clock when
the horses in the Realization stakes
were summoned to the post. The
betting had been lively, opening
with Keenan, as favorite at Z to 10,
while Bright Phoebus was next in
demand at 8 to 1. Counter Tenor was
10 to l, and the Others at Is to 1.
with the exception of King Arthur
H., who was at 80 to 1. The horses
got the flag with Cromwell in the
lead. Passing the stand at the end
of the first half mile he had four
lengths the best of it, with Connois-
seur head in front of keenan,, 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
Connoisseur, while the latter was
five lengths in front of the field AS
they swung around the far turn into
the stretch it was evident that the
three leaders had been racing their
ears off and were about ready to
quit. At the mile and -eighths
post Bright Phoebus seemed to be
the only horse with anything left in
him, and as they rounded into the
stretch Reiff got down to his work
and the game colt responded with
one of his incredible rushes. Steadily
and surely Bright Phoebus was gain
ing, with a tireless stride. Griffin
was working hard with whip and
spur on keenan,, while Reiff was far
forward on Bright Phoebus, pushing
the colt to his hardest and trying
to add to the advantage he had and
at the same time hold his mount
together for the last strides.
PHOEBUS IN FRONT.
A sixteenth of a mile more and both
jockeys were restraining their mounts.
This was shortened to a few yards;
then a bound forward and Reiff got
Bright Phoebus safely past the judges,
winner of the big stakes by three
quarters of a length, while Keenan,,
beaten but not disgraced, came in sec
ond, and the ruck far behind. King
Arthur II. managed to get third money.
The first race was a surprise, for,
the favorite, Applause, did not show
at the finish, being unable to extend
herself to the going. Rel del Carreres,
the top weight, won out after hot
finish with Hanwell In the third race
all were scratched but Handspring and
Applegate, about equal favorites. There
was never any doubt, for Handspring
ran easily along, leading Applegate
to the bend, when he came away and
won as he pleased. Overton has ap-
pealed from the decision of the stew
ards of the Coney island Jockey club
and will be heard by the stewards OF
the Jockey club next week. Sum-
