OCEAN HANDICAP

---
NEW YORK, September 1.-THE running
OF seven races at Sheepshead Bay yesterday
proved disastrous for the books. inasmuch
as four fayorites won. while the other sue
cessful horses were all heavily supported.

the strain. Kings Daughter was the rum
ner-up for this distance, and then came
home last.
There were five added starters in the Sap

| half furlongs. Futurity course. of which
Paumonok and Aletheuo were backed down
to to 1, closing equal favorites with w. H.
| Daniel, who receded to that price from
| to 2. Daniel was generally neglected be-
cause he picked up 12J pounds and the dis
| lance was thought to be be a trile too far
| for him. But when it came to racing he
| had the others completely at his mercy. He
broke in front and fairly breezed to the

| starter, by three parts of length. The
| winner was timed in LOG 3-5.
DandeliOn with top weight in the handf-
| cap, at mile and a furlong. was heavily
! backed at the last moment. when his price
had gone up to 2. The flood of coin forced
this quotation down to to 8. and Dandelon
| made good in a way that disheartened the
| layers. Yves, played down to 4, after get

Dandelon drew away from Sterling. Dut
at the end the former was hunched a bit by
| Miller to win by half length from the
| rapidly closing Ostrich, to 1, who had the
same margin over Sterling. The race was
run in 153 To-
Miller's Good Ride.
Under an excellent ride from Miller. c. R.
Ellison's Lancastrian. who went up from

turn was interfered with in such a manner
that he dropped completely out of it. The
time was 10 2-5.

triumph of Newton Bennington's Water
