RACING AT GRAVESEND.
FERIDA AS SHE RAN LAST YEAR.

MEMENTO, GLENAIORE FERIDA AND DUKE OF
KENT THE WINNERS.
That the handsome grounds of the COney
Island Jockey Club exceedingly popular proved
yesterday has been proved many times before AL
though the fields in the small and Glenmore
had a wak-over, and although contest of uncommon
merit was announced. the number present large
and the afternoon passed OFF pleasantly. AT no
track can the performances of the horses
more real comfort and satisfaction. Two bad starts
clouded what would otherwise have been per-
feotly clear racing sky. If Mr.. Conner could take
a few lessons from Mr.. sheridan, who
so successful at Long Branch, in the rang
ing of the horses and getting them off evenly
the result mig be commendable. Sir Hugh and Bonnie
Lizzie made the opening dash Of threequarters of mile
wonderfully close affair. Most of those who saw it
thought Sir Hugh but the verdict judges gave
the victory TO Bonnio Lizzie by Memeuto was
far superior to the other twoyearods In the second
race that she able give them big Jumps weight
ana yet come in first GlenmOre "walked over" for
the mile ana three-quarters race. 1t pity that
the venerable but vigorous Checkmato was not in
proper trim to meet him. The turf public is
extremely eager to see these two re-
nrkaple race-horses meet Ferida like the Ferida
or last year in the heat never safe to take off
weight fom her In handicap Sne is always dangerous
Much was expected of Gabriel but he fell far the
mark and Ferida really had only sly Dance to beat i'll
both heats. Two animals of little worth-Duke of Kent
and Shadow Dance-met in the welter weight race ana
the Duke won Itmustbe poor Quadrupcd indeed that
ran away from mud turtle, but the turtle would find
hackers.
