. FINISH TOGETHER AND DIVIDE FIRST
AND SECOND HONORS.

The thousands of persons who witnessed the races
at Sheepshead Bay yesterday saw a stirring strug-
Gle for first honors in the Equality the fourth race
on the programme. 1t was a heartbreaking con-
test from the rise of the barrier until the wire
was reached. As the four contestants passed the
finish line a blanket could have covered the three
within the money, Dublin, Highlander and OLD Eng
land. The two first named ran dead heat for
the first honors with Old England only about three
quarters of a length away. Considering the poor
condition of the track, the time in which the race
was run-1:39-was excellent. The best record over
the 1:S7 4-5. which was made by Brigadier
with 112 pounds up last year.

appeared to get a new burst of speed and in a
few moments he being covered with the dirt
kicked up by Dublin. Turning into the stretch
Dublin was still leading by length with High
lander and Old England running like team and
Belle of Troy practically dstanced.
