Special Dispatch to The Call.

SHEEPSHEAD BAY, n. Y, Aug. 80.
1t was with regret the race-going pub
lie saw Delhi beaten so easily in the
mile handicap to-day, which was never
really a contest after the first five fur
longs. The winner, First Mason, is
slashing four-year-old, a half-brother
to McChesney. and was developed by
the racing firm of Oots Bros OF Lex
ington, who developed both Hermis and
McChesney. Few thought First Mason
was good enough to beat Delhi, not
withstanding that Mr.. Keene's three
year-old was conceding the Western
horse twenty-five pounds. That some
one backed First Mason is a fact, how
ever, as his odds were cut IN the clos
ing betting from to l down to to /.
Hardly had the barrier been released
and the field was well under way be-
fore it became apparent Delhi could not
run away from First Mason, as he had
been doing with other horses. This in
itself was an ominous sign, and as the
two horses raced almost on equal
terms, with Lyme sitting still on First

"niggling" at Delhi, all hopes vanished
that the Keene colt would win. AS the
horses finished the first six furlongs it
was conceded that Delhi was beaten,
and First Mason came home with Lyme
still taking it easy, the horse winning
by three lengths. Under a drive of
more than a quarter of a mile Delhi
saved second money from Marmee, an
outsider. which but for getting of a
bad last might have finished second.
Beldame won the Dolphin stakes, at
one mile and a furlong. Ormondes
Right was second and Aurumaster
third. Summary:
