Goldsmith Maid IN the same manner. and they
journeyed to Gravesend yesterday afternoon fully
impressed with the belief that 1t would be done.
When they reached there. however, they were
much surprised to nnd Goldsmith Maid
the favorite over Judge Fullerton at 10d
to Is, and they at once made mp
their minds that tue programme had been made
out for her TO be the winner. and none bus out

the taentn wanted the mare; but two sharp IN
dividuals bid on every pool that was put up; and
IT was only once In while that their friends were
allowed TO purchase ticket TO keep them quiet.
An old follower OF the horses, who wanted pool,
remarked that "the thing was dead for Gold

An immense crowd assembled, and when tho
bell rang for the horses to appear the Fair Grounds
presented Q very animated appearance. There
were far more people in attendance than on any
previous occasion this season. large number Of

Jerome Park races but who, having q spare day,
visited Prospect Park to see the two most famous
trotters In the country contend for purse.
When the horses appeared ON the track, with
Budd Doble behind Goldsmith Maid, and Dan Mace
holding the reins over Judge Fullerton, they were
both closely scanned and declared 10 be In nrst
rate order BY the best OF judges. They scored
few times ana then came up for the word with
Judge Fullerton on the inside. Many thought that
he showed more foot than the mare ana was de-
cidedly the most steady. Judge Fullerton won the
nrst heat In 2:1s apparently very easily. and stin

In 2:l8A. Dan Mace was then declared to be too
weak to drive any longer, and his brother Ben
took mis- place. Judge Fullerton broke up as soon
