RACES AT JAMAICA.
Sheriff Bell Captured Liberty Stakes
by q Short Head.

Although four favorites won at Jamaica
yesterday the crowd went away grumbling.
Two of these choices were at prOhibitive
odds, while the heaviest played favorite,
Carbuncle, in the Liberty stakes, for three
year-olds and upward at a mile and a six
teenth, was beaten head by Sheriff Bell,
chiefly because of a poor ride by Redfern
during the early stages Of the race. Car
buncle opened at to 5, but was quickly
reduced to even money all of the big bet
tors getting aboard with confidence. Sheriff
Bell, meanwhile, went back from to 5 to
threes, and Lady Potentate scared from twos
to IL to 8. Lady Potentate ran a dead race
and made those who played her feel that
life was not worth living. AS Sheriff Bell
and Monograph rushed off in front to set
killing pace Redfern put Carbuncle under a
choking pull and let the leaders take big
lead. Monograph blew up on the far turn,
but Sheriff Bell, instead of following suit,
kept on under a magnificent ride from Full
Ter. and lasted long enough to win by
head from Carbuncle, who made up the
lost ground in the stretch. Ethics, three
lengths away, beat Lady Potentate a head,
with Monograph the same margin behind.

lane then went after the favorite but Burns
drew away in the stretch to an easy victory
by three lengths in LA. Princess Tulane

Burns virtually killed the chances of All

and a furlong. by hooking up with the
pacemaker and favorite, Wild Pirate prac-
the whip on the upper turn never allowing
the Rayon dor horse a chance to get his
second wind, with the result that he was
beaten at the head Of the stretch. Still he
was game and after Wild Pirate had cinched
