Winner One Horse Was
Killed on the Track.

New York. July ia big half holiday
crowd gathered at SLeepshead Bay track
on this the closing day of the spring meet
ing of the COney Island Jockey Club. and
they saw The Friar walk away with the
rich Realization stakes with the second
choice, Rensselaer,, second and the favor
lite. Scottish Chieftain, far off in the ruck,
nothing being anywhere near the two lead
ers at the end. There was some applause
for the winner, but it was mingled with
man Kisses from those who had seen the
last races of The Friar.
Previous to the race the jockey, Little
field, had received his instructions to let
his Ecrse take his own position and not to
choke him back as he had in the two
previous races. TIT flag fell promptly and
as the horses came out OF the chute the
crowd was surprised TO see The Friar run
ming along easily at the head of the pro-
cesS!on. CaldrOn was in second place. with
Rensselaer, third, Buddah fourth and
Scottish Chieftain and the others following,
none being held or urged. A furlong from
home The Friar was still going along
easily. while Rensselaer, was at his tail
hard ridden by Hewitt. That was enough
for Littleheld, although he was on much
the best horse. and he began riding The
Friar, although it was entirely unneCes-
saIN. as they passed under the wire with
The Friar still racing gamely along in the
fastest time ever made on the track.
Rensselaer, a length and n half behind
ana Buddha thirO. twelve lengths away.
In the second race Golf bolted into the
fence and drove a silver three feet long
through his shoulder dying as he stag
Sered into the paddock.
