Dead Heat Results In Twin City
Handicap.

New York, Sept. 3.-Between 1900
and Is. 600 people took advantage of the
holiday TO visit the Sheepshead Bay
race track today. The Twin City han
dicap at a mile and a quarter was
the feature, and it resulted in stir
ring struggle with a sensational dead
heat at the wire between Ethelbert
and Jack Point. They were only a
neck before Killashandra, while the
other four starters were only necks
apart, and all so closely punched that
a length did not separate the first and
last horses. The starter caught them
in line at the third break, and dropped
his flag to a good start. Killasha ndra
went out to make the running, closely
attended by Ethelbert, Jack Joint and
MartimaS. This was the order around
the first turn, but going up the back
stretch Spencer took Ethelbert back to
fifth place. letting MartimaS. Jack
Point and Decanter go by him. Kill

The latter showed the way to the
stretch, but only by a Scant Ealf length
as the field all closed up, every horse
looking to have a chance. A hard
drive to the wire followed, Ethelbert
gradually wearing down the leaders on
the outside. Wlile Jack Point was

Ethelbert. and they crossed the finish
line so close together that the judges
could not separate them. Killashandra

boast that he has. nearly twice that
much more. Tom Sharkey has house
in SheeDshead Bay and can write his

not had so many opportunities proper

$40 900 might be set down fairly as
his earnings. Mccoy might he placed
at close to the same figure, and Peter

not approximate mis- earnings, but they
