NEW YORK, June 24.-Long shots held
high carnival at Sheepshead Bay this
afternoon, and again the layers Kept a
fortune wagered with them by the fol-
lowers of form. But one favorite, Sooth-
sayer, was a winner, he being the only
successful first choice in the last twelve
races.
Here are some OF the juicy things that
finished in the money To-Day: Gold
Money, Is to !; Birch Broom, u to /;
Philma Paxton, 40 to /; Topmast. to
/; Dramatist, to /; Kamara, Il to /;
Ten Candles. to /; Morningside, to /;
Par Excellence, Is to /; Vitellus, 80 to l,
and Mosketo. 10 to l.
With this array of long shots run
ming for the books. it is no wonder that
the layers yelled all the afternoon The
biggest surprise of the day was the vic
tory of Kamara, in the Sheepshead Bag
Handicap "a mile.
Kamara, with only 80 pounds. was
played by select few, who backed her
from Is down to II to 1. Cameron was
the favorite, at 9 to 5, with Dublin Sec
end in favor at 16 to 5.
Cameron Drops Out.
Soon after good start, Cameron drop
ped far back, to the surprise of those
who saw him win a handicap last Fri
day from a similar field by covering the
mile in 1:S9, and after that was never
dangerous.
DTrfa1f I
lead, and held it for three-quarters OF
mile, with Ten Candles and Belle OF
Troy close up At that point Kamara
was away behind. but at the top Of the
stretch, Just as Ten Candles headed
Dublin, Mr.. Mackay's mare, under a
hard finish by Redfern, loomed up with
SO much speed that it was impossible
to stall her off
In a drive Kamara won by a length
3 in 1:3S 3-5, the fastest mile of the sea-
son in the East, and four-ffths of a sec
ond behind Brigadier's record for the
course. Ten Candles, after Dublin had
stopped to nothing, went on and Sc
cured the place from Morningside by a
length, Belle Of Troy being three lengths
away.
Smoke Left at Post.
Nash Turner, the jockey who was left
at the post on Nasturtium in last year S
Futurity and who was also left on King
Hanover at Morris Park this spring,
was roundly scored for his handling of
Smoke, the fast mare who carried W.
C. Whitney's colors in the fifth race
at three-quarters of q mile. Smoke,
with 123 pounds, opened 3-to-5 favor
lite. but went back to I to as there
was a heavy play on Josepha, Sister
Juliet, and Sun Shower
When the barrier was raised Smoke
was left standing still. Turner sent the
mare after the field in a hopeless stern
chase. while her hackers howled in dis
approval.
Josepha, who was backed down from
TO to twos, was in front all the way.
and won in a drive by half a length,
Sister Juliet being in the place, six
lengths better than Par Excellence.
Gold Money Is Good.
Daisy Green ran 4 very disappointing
race in the first event, for two-year-
old fillies, at five furIongs straightaway
On form she looked to have the others
at her morcy. and she was backed ac-
cordingly ircn TO to 4-to-5 favorite
Ada Nay was second choice.
Girdle was in front for three furlongs.
hard pressed by Sparkle Esher, and with
Gold Money close behind.
At the last furlong Gold Money forg-
ed ahead and won easily by a length
and q half, Ada Nay coming from no.
