and ran out six successive games, in which
she allowed Miss Nicely but fourteen points.
In the second set Miss Nicely again made
good start, winning the first game, but
she lost the next four. The sixth game was
a long one. Miss Nicely finally winning. but

e0TTONTOWn SHOWS SPEED
STIFF AND SORE, BUT RUNS LIKE
A CHAMPION.
Wins Long Island Handicap From Sir
Lynnewood by q Head-Nota-
sulga's Success.

NEW YORK. July 3.-Stiff and sore. al
most cripple. but with courage that
placed at naught his physical infirmities.
Cottontown ran a mile and a furlong at the
Sheepshead Bay track yesterday and won
the Long Island handicap. 1t required his
best effort to win. for he was badly inter-
fered with. and he only managed to win the
race On the post by the margin Of a head.
Sir Lynnewood was second
1t was hard race. and only horses with
the greatest courage were able to play an
important part at the finish.
For rough riding 1t was easily the worst
OF the meeting. From first to last, at near
ly every furlong in the race. horses were
knocked about, cut or and carried wide.
Some OF the best horses in the race. notably
Cottontown. Sir Lynnewood, First Premium,
Cairngorm and Zambesi. were SO buffeted
about by the rival jockeys that they were
forced back and forth like ball in game
of tennis.
Cottontown had little good luck mixed
with the bad. He was caught in the early
jam of horses on the first turn, but Jockey
Sandy quickly whipped him out Of danger
into place of vantage behind Prince Ham,
burg. the pacemaker, and thereafter he es-
capped the crowding which caused his most
dangerous opponents to lose many lengths.
The odds against Cottontown were II to
l. This high price was due to the lack Of
faith on the part OF Owner P. J. Millett.
While at the post in the Suburban handi
cap the big son of Captain Sigsbee was Sc
verely kicked. and he still showed the eff
fects Of the blow in his gallops.
The start was so good that the nine
horses that made up the field began to
crowd one another as soon as they got in
motion Prince Hamburg slipped his field
and got around the first turn safely, but
Zambesi was nearly knocked down. as were
CottOntOwn, First Premium and Cairngorm
CottOntown was the first to recover. but the
other horses continued to bump each other
First Premium and CairngOrm ran fast
down the backstretch and Joined the lead
ers. More crowdlng took place when they
joined issue. and Sir Lynnewood dropped
back just as Prince Hamburg quit and Cot
tontown ran into the lead. The latter had
scarcely assumed command when Sir Lynne
wood moved up rapidly on the outside.
Both horses fought out the l.nish Cotton
whip well and held his lead long enough to
win.
Notasulga gave away seven pounds to
ten fast FLIES that opposed her for the
third race and beat them home cleverly.
This was her sixth victory since her arrival
in the east During her racing here she has
started in seven races and met defeat only
once.
Half Sovereign. with big advantage In
weight, beat her at Belmont PARK over a
track deep with water and mud. She was
inclined to be trifie sluggish yesterday
and Garner had to rouse her at the end to
beat Julia Powell and Park View. that were
racing at her head, but she responded well
to her Jockeys demands and won by nearly
length.
