NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Ballyhoo Bey
in the Futurity one week ago by win
ming the coveted Flatbush stakes today,
a feature of the card at Sheepshead Bay.
Tommy Atkins, the odds-on favorite,
was second, and only beaten head An
unfortunate incident married the event,
which had I direct bearing on the out
come. Only four horses started, and
the race was conceded to be a duel be-
tween the Whitney and Keene candi-
dates, Ballyhoo Bey and Tommy Atkins.
They were sent off on the second break
to good start, and Smile and Ballyhoo
Bey went out to make the running, but
not more than a length separated the
four for the first half mile. At this point
Sloan took his mount back SO that Smile
showed in front a neck before Tommy
Atkins, who was the same distance be-
fore A1ard Sheck and Ballyhoo Bey. They
came into the stretch necks apart, with
Smile On the rail and Ballyhoo Bey on
the outside. When Strengthened out and
almost at the last fur1ong pole, a bad
n1ix-up occurred, which, fortunately, did
not result in a serious accident. Smile
the other two, and for a second the
crowd on the grand stand held its breath
expecting to see one, if not all, go down
in a heap. This did not happen, but the
favorite was knocked out of his stride.
Spencer had to pull up, losing three or
four lengths. By the time the tangle
was Strengthened out, Sloan had rushed
Ballyhco Bey to the front and was set
ting down and riding him out with hands
Tom
Atkins going again, he set sail for the
flying leader, who was three or four
lengths in front, and with whip and spur
rode a desperate finish. Foot by foot the
game Tommy Atkins crept up until it
was only two lengths, then one length,
then neck, but the finish line was too
close, and amid the widest excitement
the judges were passed with Ba1lyhoo Bey
a head in front. Alard Sheck was third
a length away. Spencer claimed foul
but it was not allowed, although the
stewards had all four Jockeys in the
stand before giving their decision.
The Ocean handicap went to Voter in
fast time. He made all the running and
won ridden out from Vulcain, who was
half a length before Martimas, third.
Rush, the faYorite, with Sloan up, was
beaten off, showing no speed at any part
Of the journey.
