people journeyed to Sheephead Bay to
see the one mile match race for $4,000
between the greatest of the three-year-
old fllies, Admiration and May Hemp
stead. 1t was the East against the
West, and the East won, for Admiration
came home in a gallop first by two
lengths. The time, lao LIS, was by no
means what had been expected, but
they fairly flew in the first part, and
when they came to the stretch May
Hampstead had nothing left to finish
with and the strong wind in their faces
was too much for the big filly. The
first break was not a good one, but in
the second one they got away with
Admiration in front. May Hampstead
soon had a little the better of it, and
as they passed the first furlong mark,
in OIL 40, she was a head to the good.
The pace was hot to the quarter pole,
which was reached in O:23 10, and
then May Hampstead had a neck the
best of it. The pair had a strong wind
behind them and they sailed along to
the three furlong mark head and head,
passing it in O:35 from the start. At
the half Clawson let out a link on Ad-
miration, and before Turner knew it the
brown filly was length to the good.
AS they rounded the mark at the be-
ginning Of the upper turn Admiration
was length and a half in front, in
O:47, remarkably fast time. The five
furlongs mark was reached and passed
in O:59 2-5, and the six furlongs in
lip 40, with no appreciate change
in positions.
Clawson was sitting like a statue on
Admiration, while Turner was urgins
May Hampstead with whip and steel as
they Strengthened out for home. It was
useless attempt, for the further they
went the easier Admiration seemed to
go and she passed the Judges stand
two lengths to the good amid the cheers
of the crowd, not even pushed.
