MORE UNEXPECTED HAPPENINGS AT SLEEPS
HEAD.
The violent heat on Long Island yesterday was
tormenting. but some of the starting and riding
was worse Sad and sodden thousands almost
reelng under the volcanic blasts Of the scorching
sun. gazed aghast upon several strange things.
Ruhlin's victim Thomas Sharkey, the forlorn, look
ing as II Commissioner Keller had turned him
over 10 the Bellevue STAFF for surgical experiments
on his countenance was followed about by troop
Of idle boys. who stared at him with the notion
that his face might fall apart at any instant.
Sharkey has been a frequenter Of the tracks this
season. and his features have been familiar 10 the
betting ring. He looked like q rhinoceros before
he met Rubin Now he looks like hippopotamus
whose mouth has been cut by the doctors from ear

the sluggers John l. Sullivan so long the pride
of Boston, was locked up in police station this
week because he had committed drunken assault.
TO what base uses these bruisers coming?

W. c. Daily may attempt later 10 get one OF Mr..

George johnson and Eugene Leigh as turfmen is
almost wide as that between william = WHIT

The second race was scandalous from top 10
bottom and side side. Spencer rode the favorite
lElue Devil. in his finest Spencerian style. Hence
tT3lue Devil unplaced. Walter Reyes, the DOCK
maker bought Ten Candles from William Lake
Hand few days ago. Nothing that Ten Candles
ever did in public would suggest to a human being
of sound mind that the weights and the distance
he could win that But he did win it, at long
rutside odds and he was ridden by Pittsburg Phils

Pittsburg Phil had won q vast sum Mr.. smith
denied this in italics, He declared with the
gravity and stoidity OF tombstone that his
chief bet was Teddy. who ran second, and
that he put only a small amount Ten
Candles. But the improvement shown by Ten
Candles was mystifying, and the Jockey Club
ought to search the whole matter through and
through. Il is well known that when Mr.. Smith

why he bet 1t. II is also the plain duty Of the
