NEW YORK, July 1o.-A big half-hol-
iday crowd gathered at Sheepshead Bay
track on this, the closing day of the
spring meeting of the Coney Island Jock
ey club, and saw The Friar walk away
with the rich Realization stakes, with
the second choice, Rensselaer,, second
and the favorite, Scottish Chieftain, far
off in the ruck, not being anywhere near
the two leaders at the end. There was
some applause for the winner, but it
was mingled with many Kisses from
those who had seen the last races of
The Friar. Previous to the race Jockey
Littlefield had received instructions to
let his horse take his own position, and
not to choke him back, as he had in the
two previous races. The flag fell prompt
ly, and as the horses cameH sit of the
chute the crowd was surprised to see
The Friar running easily at the head
of the procession, Caldron second, Rens-
salaer third. Buddha fourth and Scot
tish 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 taiB hard ridden by Hewitt. That
was rough for Littlefield, who was on
much the best horse, and he began
riding The Friar, although it was en-
tirely unnecessary. as they passed under
the wire with The Friar still rafting
gamely along in the fastest time ever
made on the track, Rensselaer, length
and a half behind, and Buddha third,
twenty lengths away.
In the second race Golf bolted into the
fence and drove silver three feet long
through his shoulder. dying as he stag

Diablo and Lou Bramble were not with
out backing. After about fifteen min
utes' delay at the post the bunch broke
to a perfect start with the favorites in
the lead. AT the quarter pole, Eugenia
Wicks, the outsider at 40 to /, shot out
to the front and led the field to the last
turn for home, when she gave 1t up in
favor of White Frost, which came away
from the others in clever fashion. and
crossed the wire three lengths in front
of Donna Rita. The latter beat Loneta
four lengths for second honors. Belle
Diablo showed early speed but she stop
ped badly in the end. Donna Rita ran
remarkably game race. considering
the fact that she pulled up very lame.

mia Oaks when she was easily beaten by
Lou Bramble and Shasta Water. The
weather fine; track fast.
