NEW YORK, July 6-The Stirrup Cup
steeplechase. the feature of the card at
Sheepshead Bay to-day, was won easily by
the favorite, Tankard, with Adjidaumo Sec
ond and Howard Gratz third. This race is
for gentlemen jockeys and is over the full
course. Seven good timber-toppers faced
the starter. Higbie made the running for
about one and a half miles, when he gave
way to the favorite. Adjidaumo also moved
up to second place, Sigbie dropping back to
third, with Howard Gratz fourth. Coming
TO the Liverpool jump the second time
around Sigbie fell. but his rider (Kelly) re-
mounted and started after his field. His
chase seemed hopeless, as the three horses
in front of him were about a quarter of a
mile ahead. At the last jump Howard
Gratz fell and Kelly began to ride hard.
Evans had caught his horse, Howard Gratz,
and mounted as Kelly was passing him. In
a head-and-head finish for the third money

head. Evans was loudly cheered when he
returned to the scales.
