JJCK1Y DISMoUNTS.
The Victory Unpopular Because OF
the In n-and-Out Record Of
the Colt.

three year-old prizes in America, was de-
cided at Sheepshead Bay to-day in the
presence of 1900 persons. 1t was won
by A II. and D. II. Morris ches smut colt,
The Friar, with John E. Mcdonald
Rensselaer, second and Robert c. Hale's
Buddha third. The distance of the Real
izaton is a mile ana five furlongs, ana
The Friar ran it in 2:4S 2-5, by all odds
the fastest time ever scored for the race
and only two-iiiths of second slower
than the worlds record made by the
three-year-old Handcraft over the same
ground with only ninety-hve pounds in
the saddle. Rensselaer, ran Tapped on The
Friar's saddle at the wire The stake was
worth Sis AIS to the winner. $3l66 56 TO
the second horse and 1883 "a 10 the third.
The Friar's performance was marvellous,
but, sad to say, evoked more demonstra-
tions of i'll will than approval, Kisses
sounding loud above the hand-clapplng
when Lttleheld rode back to dismount
The Friar mas performed most ineonsist-
emily this year; in fact, was none too con-
sistent at times last year, and only week
ago his trainer. the veteran r. w.
Walden, issued letter 10 the public ex-
planning that the colt was one OF the most
irritable and nervous thoroug hDreds he
had ever trained.
William Lakeland pretty FLY, Winged
Foot, after special preparation for The
prize, was found to be wanting and was
withdrawn.
There were seven starters. The talent
concluded that the race lay between Scot
tish Chieltain, Rensselaer,, The Friar and
Buddha, the others ranging at odds of so
TO l to 100 to l. AS the six-fnrlong pole
was passed The Friar was length and
hall to the good. He made the seven fur
longs in 1:29 As, the mile in 1:42 2-5
and the mile and a furIong in so 1-5.
There was no indication that he would
come back to his field, and when the colts
swung tor the big bend Tor home all but
The riar and Rensselaer, were being rid
den hard.
Would Rensselaer, get up to the light
chestnut whose body was shooting
through the air as though propelled by
some occult power2 Littlefeld had los:
his cap and his light hair was streaming
straight back from his forehead as he
rode.
Hewitt kept Rensselaer, at his work and
when the colts straig htened out for the
run nome there still yawned that length
and a half between them. Hewitt who is
only lad and lacks the experience of a
Taral or Garrison, reused Rensselaer, ali
the way home in an endeavor 10 close the
gap. He did everything TO the gallant
colt but whip him, and there he showed
excellent judgment, for no small boy can
do justice with the whip in q fighting
finish. He had LittlefeId uneasy at the
furlong pole, which marked the end OF
the mile and half IN 2:35.
All through the final furlong Ren sselaer
gained, but only by inches. Rensselaer's s
handsome head was at The Friar's girth
as the wire was passed. Buddha was q
distant third and DR.. Sheppard fourth.
Pandemonium reigned at the finish, and
when LltteIield rode up to dismount he
was greeted by storm of Kisses, mingled
with applause and cries of GOOD boy
Fred" 1t was mixed demonstration,
such as, happily, is not often seen on
great metropolitan tracks, but il showed
tbs tenn per CT the people.
