SHEEPSHEAD BAY, June 27.-Be-
fore crowd of $1,000 persons, August
Belmont's Fair Play, carrying top
weight, 126 pounds, won the $4,000
Coney Island Jockey club stakes at
Sheepshead Bay today, defeating
high class field of 3-year- olds.
Fair Play was admirably ridden by
Notter. The boy allowed the field to
race away in front, and at the turn to
the stretch he called on the Belmont
horse and won. Hessian was second.
with King James third. The time of
231 is for a mile and a half equals
the track record made by Stalwart in
1904, and is less than a second slower
than the record time for the distance,
made by Goodrich at Chicago in 1885,
The race was robbed of its main in
terest by Colin and Celt not starting.
The two Keene colts are under a veter-
inarian's treatment, and 1t was upon
his advice that Mr.. Keene did not send
them to the post for the rich event. OF
seven carded to start two were with
drawn, the Whitney entry, Stamina and
Royal Tourist, leaving five to face the
starter
They were sent away to good start,
Angelus going out to make the pace,
followed by Dorante and Hessian. klng
James and Fair Play alternated In last
and next to last places. Angelus opened
up two lengths gap around the pad
dock turn, while Dorante was length
and a half before Hessian. In the run
down the back stretch, Angelus still
led At the far turn Dorante took the
lead, followed by Hessian and Fair
Play.
In the stretch Notter brought Fair
Play up outside of Dorante. but the
Belmont colt under a hard drive man
aged to win by a length. Hessian was
also length and half before King
James.
The result of the $4,000 Great Trial
stakes showed that John e. Madden had
the best 2-year-old of the year. His
two colts run one, two, Sir Martin WIN
ming, with Fayette second and Helmet
third The ride that j. Lee put up on
the Madden colt Sir Martin, was con-
sidered by many horsemen the best
ride seen here in years. The Madden
entry carried top weight, 129 pounds,
Bobbin went out to make the early
length over Fayette, with Helmet third.
Sir Martin was fourth. Bobbin con-
tinued to show the way to the elbow of
the main track, where Fayette took
command, with Helmet at her side.
The race at this point looked to be be-
tween the first two, but Lee, on Sir
Martin. seeing that his stablemate was
in trouble, put the colt under hard
drive. Gradually he made up the lost
ground, and at the sixteenth he was on
even terms with Fayette and Helmet.
In the next few strides he was length
to the good and flashed under the wire
a winner by two lengths, with Fayette
a head before Helmet.
After the finish of the Great Trial
stake P. j. Rainey offered Madden
$40, 900 for Fayette, but Madden prompt
ly turned down the offer.

AMERICAN TEAM
ON THE OCEAN
EIGHTY-SIX ATHLETES ARE IN
THE PARTY
TWO MEMBERS WORKING OUT
THEIR PASSAGE
Committee Unable to Pay Their Ex-
penses and They Insist on Heroic
Measures to Get to
London

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 27.-When the
steamer Philadelphia sailed for Europe
today 1t carried practically all of the
American team of athletes who are to
compete III the Olympic games at Lon
don. In many quarters 1t is regarded
as the strongest and most representa-
tive body of athletes ever sent from
America to compete with Europe's'
pick
Thousands of enthusiasts crowded
the pier long before the steamer was
scheduled to sail and several brass
bands enlivened the occasion. Both
Manager Halpin and Trainer Murphy
said the men will train all the way
over. They will use the poop deck for
the work and a board will be rugged
up for running and jumping. They
will have a special training table and
gymnasium with all the necessary
apparatus aboard
There were eighty-six athletes on
the list for sailing and all of them
answered the roll call. One of the
| first men to get aboard was Ralph
Rose of San Francisco, who Is entered
| in the hammer throwing and shot
putting events. The last man to ar
rive was Martin Sheridan of the Irish
American Athletic club. who is looked
upon DIS one VI Tic OCol ppAht-
on the team. Three of the men Sc
lected did not go for various reasons.
They were Dray of Yale, Whitman of
Pennsylvania and Rowe of Michigan.
Craig a wrestler and boxer. and
Fisher, an all-round athlete, are the
men who are working their way to
London In the hope that they may
qualify in some of the Olympic con-
tests. Being unable at the tryouts
here to get in places on the first string
they determined to work their passage.
Two members of the Olympic team
are so anxious to compete in London
that today they will start on their trip
across the Atlantic as stokers. One of
these hardy athletes will stoke on the
steamer Philadelphia, which carries
nearly all the rest of the team, and
will sail at 10 o'clock this morning.
The other man Is to stoke on the Min
nehaha of the Atlantic Transport line,
which also sails today.
When Matt" Halpin. manager of
the Olympic team, was asked about
this he said: "Well. it's true. 1 think
it would not be fair to give out the
names of these men. OF course it's
plucky thing to do but they are
somewhat overweight and the stocking
work will reduce them. You see, all
but thirteen of the team are having
their way paid. These two happen to
be newcomers who haven't the money,
but want to get across and take
chance. If they win anything in Eng
land they can tell about their trip"

Rapping at my chamber door.
IT'S some player wants to hand me
Some bull con and try to land me
For hundred bucks more
Only that and nothing more.
Open wide flung the wicket
When without pass or ticket
In there stepped a stately raven
OF the sanity days of yore.

Without even saying howdy.
