CLOSING DAY AT GRAVESEND.

CIacKMoRE AND DAY STAR THE WINNERS.
The Concy Island Jockey Club closed It's
season yesterday with that brought togethcra
multitude oIly exceeded the Cup Day, when I.nhe
Blackburn beaten, and not much exceeded then.
Boat after boat and train after train during the
afternoon, added its heavy load to the assembled
thousands until the grand stand packed the lawn
and other spaces thronel, and the shccphcarng
yard where the boOlmakcrs ieece their tender and
trusting victims too small to hold the bleatng
mock IL was remarkable day in many ways, and the
pleasant grounds were overlooking with excitement
we'll as with people. II day of stir and surprise,
OF caScIess and intoUsy from rst to last. The two
things that chiefly drew these many thousands were the
lolr-iEile heats for the Great Long Island
Stakes, and the match between Hindoo and Crckmore
a match in reality, though not in terms. Only APP
pcared for the long G!enmore and Elias Lawrence,
but these two succeeded interesting and exciting every
one on the grounds. Gennore Thought superior
to the other that practical "wak-oyer" looked
Tor. When the despsed Elias and got the first
heat there amazemcnt and anxiety in abundance.
But after all IL only accident. Gcnmore could
have won that heat easily he took the second
II he had been properly handled CricSmore conquered
liindoo not this time at II pounds difference in weight
as when last they met but with only pounds So there
was enough to talk about between aud after Che races
1t really one Of the noteworthy racing days of
1851, and would have been without blot but for
| scene which caused much indignant comment Certain
members Of the Executive Committee OF the club forgot
| dignity and good in the way in which they
forced an order of expulsion The order n mistake
| and the in which 1t carried out was anything
bat crcdita0lc 10 the committee. 1t seems to
| have been forgotten that there is distinction
| between private club supported out of its
own funds and racing association wbicd appeals to
the puhlc for support. One or two young who APP
pear entirely unable to authority without abusing
| it, made themselves discreditaby conspicuous in this
| matter The attitudes and talk of of them made
nm laughing stock The club would gain by making
some changes in its Executive Committee at the
election. The above referred will keep many
from the Gravesend grounds hereafter How long
racing be kept M there elsewhere without the good
will OF the public1 How long that good will
tanned If such proceedings take place2

Next came the four-ne heats Carroll, who rode Glen
more, kept that noble horse under violent
restraint all tho way in the first heat that Elias Law
renee was able Icy welltimed rush, catch pass
him at the end before he could get into his
fun stride Tho time S:ls. Carroll was then
taken OF and Hughes put on Gcnmore The result was
that Glennore won the second heat by a distance
aud Elias Lawrence 80 lamed that he was necessa
riy withdrawn, leaving Glenmore TO walk the
third heat. The time of the second heat 7:4O. The
TWO heats compare badly with Ferdas 7:23a, 7:i1 in
tho same race last year. After the heats HinGoo
ana trckmore met. Many knew that Uindoo
hal been coughing for week, bit many more
dld not, and HlndOo n strong favorite i'm

fact that their colt best but he is so rare
racehorsc that they hoped with him in spite of
his cough. They wofnlly moderated Crchmore He
is not the sort of animal to coughing indoos against
He made sorry show OF the great colt leaving him in
