RAINED IN TORRENTS.
The Brooklyn Jockey Club Is
Meeting With Bad Luck.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, May 1S.-ThiS was really
the worst day of the meeting, so far as
weather was concerned. 1t was not
only raw and cold, but the rain came
down in torrents most of the day. The
track, as consequences was very heavy.
For the first race Fenelon ,was a hot
favorite at to 4, and his own stable
thought that they had a moral certainty
of winning. For the place Choctaw
was fancied little, and A Reed was
also backed slightly for the place. To
the surprise of everybody Ban Cloche
practically led from start to finish and
won in a canter by two lengths. There
was not a single ticket sold Oh him in
he mutualS and his owners, the book
making firm of Appleby & Johnson, did
not have penny on. An acquaintance
of Mr.. Aprleby's came up before the
race and wanted to bet s. on him for a
place, but Mr.. Appleby refused to take
it, saying that the horse had no chance.
Meeting the Would-be hacker after the
race. Mr.. Appleby said: eff was a
fool there is no necessity why you
should be one" and handed him $50.
Exile was a hot favorite for the second
race and won handily, Grover Cleve-
land making the running till into the
stretch. Brown Duke finished second,
and ran
AN EXCELLENT RACE
at the end. He will do to watch. A
very common lot of two-year-olds faced
the flag for the third race. n. G. Lor-
lizards Peril was the least bad, and won
handily, the Dwyer Bros Passport
earning the situation, thanks to Nc
LaughlIn's excellent riding. Speciality
was the favorite for the fourth race, but
did not win easy. In fact, she had all
she could do TO beat Prospect and
Wheat, who finished a head behind.
| Wheat ran surprisingly good race.
a strong favorite, with Harry Russell
! a good second choice. In fact, all the
money went OH them, with small
amounts on Miracle. Joe Lee, however,
who did not carry dollar of stable
money and scarcely any public money,
| led from start to finish and won, paying
his few hackers in the mutualS S10795,
| King Crab, who is in the improving list,
| being second. In the last race Biggonet,
| though very short of work, was installed
| favorite, her owner believing that her
class would carry her through Lottery,
however, took the lead after the first
quarter and won handiIy by a length
| BiggOnet second. The latter did not
seem to be able to extend herself. The
winner was sold to q. Walbaum at an
advance of $500 over the entered selling
price. Altogether it was very dull
and unsatisfactory days racing.
