NEW YORK. Sept 1O.-Seven race 5
were run at Sheepshead Bay today, an
as two favorites and two second choice 5
were victorious, the form players we1,e
fairly.well repaid for their support.
August Belmont's Fire Eater, by Ems
tings- Fides. proved big surprise in tle
Autumn Stakes. for two-year- -olds. ii
six furlcngs down the Futurity course.
AS he was left at the post in the Ru-
turity and since that time ran one dis
appointing race, the layers quoted 20, to
! against him, which was quickly tre-
duced one-h half by liberal play.
The Goughacres Stables Short Hose
ruled favorite, at to. 5, with w. c.
Whitneys Payne second choice, :,nd
much backing for Meltonian and NJ: rry
Acrobat at fours and fives, respectively
Payne Makes Running.
Payne made the running to the ilast
furlong pole, where he stopped. Merry
Acrobat seemed to be the winner as
he reached the final sixteenth, but Bull
man subjected MIR. Belmont's colt TO a
severe ride, and the latter, coming up
on the outside. won by three parts of
a length in the good time of 1:1S %.
Merry Acrobat took the place from ;,Jel-
tonian by a half length.
Only Three Starters.
Tho celia CO... t1,a Santa,nb,.r Stakes for
three-year- -olds, at a mile and tsnree
furlongs. was reduced to three starters.
Dom Paul was hot favorite at Is 20
20. while Caughnawaga receded TO dwos,
and plunge on Dixieline reduced the
latter from tens 10 skies.
Dom Paul started off in front, but
Caughnawaga ran him into the ground
at the far turn and came home a winner
in sharp drive by a length and g half
over Dixieline. in 2:22. Dom Paul was
two lengths behind.
Gentlemen Riders.
The third stake event to be decided
was the oakwood Cup, steeple chase
handicap for gentlemen riders at. about
two and one-half miles. There, were
only three starters in this event, too.
f. Ambrose Clarks Rowdy was 3 to
favorite, and was ridden by his 4owner
who narrowly escaped two severe falls.
The pacemaking was made by Cock
Robin for nearly two miles. but he died
away when Rowdy and Hark Forward
rushed up together for the last Jump.
AS Rowdy sprang over the Obstacle he
stumbled. and Mr.. Clark came w6(n an
ace of being thrown over his heaG. This
mishap allowed Hark Forward. neatly
ridden by Mr.. Holloway. TO run away on
the fiat and win a comparatively easy
victory by six lengths in the show time
of SIG 2-5. Rowdy finished twelve
lengths before Cock Robin.
