Yesterdays racing at Shoepshead Bay was by
far the most l~istless of Il meeting which will be
memorable for the sharpness Of its contests, and
the smallest crowd since the Bay opened It's
gates for the spring season was III attendance.
The hurdle race, which Walter won after q
sharp argument with Forget, was by odds the
best contest of the day. The weather WIS clear
and tho track fast,
Sly Fox was considered capable of giving his
field n lump OF weight and II beating in the open
ing dash for two.year.Olds. and the chestnut
colt was made favorite over Nurillo, II starter
in the Great Trial and other big stakes this sea-
son. There was also a strong demand for Sala-
bar, u half brother to Ludwig, owned by Tom
Kiley, while Isabey with Sims up was attrac-
tive to some persons. Murillo made quick work
OF his field and won in a gallop. Neither Sly Fox
nor Salabar were ever dangerous, Isabey rum
ming second and Boy Orator third.
Leedsville was the odds.no favorito for tho
second event, q dash of a mile. but Tod Sloan
was up on Domitor, and sent the chestnut colt
along 80 strong from the start that he was never
caught. Manassas beat the favorite for second
money. Hewitt, who rode Azure. was caught

was a go. Otherwise this colt might have been
closer up at the finish.
Belleport, tho favorite for tho handicap at q
mile and a quarter. and ridden by Sloan, was dis
gracefully beaten. The colt was heavily sup
ported on the excellent showing he made the
last time he started, but he couldn't beat
the .commonest platter yesterday. The Cali
fornia three.year:old. Lincoln H., Haphazard
and Peep o Day. however. furnished a splendid
ness. HaphaZard beat the four year.old for Sec
ond money. Peep O Day docs not fancy moro
