Special Dispatch to The Call.

SHEEPSHEAD BAY, June 3d.
Highball, winner of the American
Derby at Chicago on June IS, and
unplaced in the memorable Advance
stakes on Saturday. carried 120
pounds to-day in the Spendrift stake
"a handicap at nine furlongs. and made
his seven opponents, none of high
class, look cheap by winning in a cam
ter. Now that the race is over, the
impost' upon Highball looks to have
been light for a colt of his achieve
ments.
1t was the performance of Beldame
in the second race, for flllies and
mares, which aroused the admiration
of all who saw what she was called
upon to do to win. She was the last
of the field when they had got under
way. In twinkling she had passed
the others and had lead of five
lengths in the next quarter mile. Her
speed was amazing. Beldame came
on alone and won by five lengths in
1888 2-5.
Besides Beldame's remarkable VIC
tory the performance of Hot Shot in
the fifth event caused comment, as the
colt, well played favorite, was ap-
parently out of it for the first three
furlongs. He was cut off and was
brought around on the outside by
Hicks. Catching Dandelion and
Torchello in the stretch, Hot Shot
passed them and won under one of
Hicks hard drives.
