GRAvEsEND RACE TRACK, Aug. %.
-Ihe extra meeting of the Brooklyn
Jockey club began here to-day under
the most favorable weather. The track
was in excellent condition, the card a
good enc and the attendance large.
Jimmy Mclaughlin has signed with
Hankins & Campbell, proprietors
of the Chicago Stable, and will
finish the season with them on
the same terms that he had
with the Dwyer brothers. The Dwyers
have secured Isaac Murphy to ride for
them. A feature of the day was the
photographing Of the finishes by the in
Simultaneous process. Little Minch was
favorlte for the first race, but could
get no better than third. King Crab
winning by length and a half in the
Welter handicap Arentino led until the
last sixteenth, where Judge Murray
came by with rush and won by two
lengths. For the $1,000 sweepstakes
Wheeler [ set the pace until
half way up the home stretch,
where Yum Yum, Kingston and Terra
Gotta rushed to the front, heads apart.
The finish was a fighting one and to
many Yum Yum apparently won by a
nose, but the judges decided it a dead
heat. Kingston would undoubtedly
nave won had not Murphy drawn the
finish too fine. The purse was divided.
The fourth race was an exercise gallop
for Los Angeles. She won by two
lengths. Longstreet with splendid
burst of speed won the two-year-oId race
III the last jump by Il head. The finish

Regarding the severance OF relations
between the Dwyers and Jockey: Nc
Laughin the Mail and Express SAYS:
''McLaughlin, because of his dissipa-
ton has not been able to do Justice to
the valuable interests of his employers,
and has been growing worse week by
week. Expostulation has been of no
avail, and the party has been as friendly
us the nature OF the case would admit.
If the jockey breaks the dreadful spell
that hoids him captive his skill in
Saddle will return III all probability, ard
with his change in life Dryers would
be glad to re-employ him. Mclaughlin
most keenly feels his position. and if he
should, before his health is completely
undermined, reform and become recon
ciled with his wife, who is Il patient
and estimable lady, he might reinstate
himself in popular favor and meet the
approval of the Dwyers. who have been
most indulgent.
According to the Brooklyn Times
Union. one of the Dwyer brothers to-
day said: lit is all right when woman
gets stuck on a jockey, but when
jockey gets stuck on a woman, that
is wrong. 1t seems to be the trouble
