New YORK, May 15.-Late yesterdsg
afternoon drjzzling rain set in and
marred the promising prospect for fine
racing at the opening Of the spring
meeting at the Brooklyn Jockey Clubs
course to-day. The horses which are
| to compete for the great Brooklyn hanrI-
| cap we're INDUCED i'll moderate worS
Yesterday morning. and then were
! given rest until to-day. With the ex-
ception of brisk quarter or half, no
fast work was done. The horses were
all in fair condition, but two minutes
around the track was about the best
time made. Over 100000 is al
ready pending on the result OF
the Brooklyn handicap. Several who
had placed their money on the sup
posed dark horse, Saxony, turned pale
when they heard yesterday that be
would not start. 1t vas reported that
he had gone lame and stiff. Hanover
will undoubtedly be the favorite, out
the WiseSt heads at the track were
puzzled, when asked which horse was
likely to win. Condition is going to
tell il the race--Volante would not be
bad choice, for he has already had
two steadying races. AS for Grover
Cleveland. the race is too early in the
season for him. Hanover's S2Q, 600
stable companion. Sir Dixon, will not
enter. The heavy condition of the
track has caused many horSemeu to
express q very strong liking for Rich
uond, and Favor, horses that are per-
f.ctly at home on such track as to-
days will be. Garrison will ride Rich
mond, while it is not yet decided who
will have the mount on Favor. Exile
is reported as working a mile and q
quarter at Brighton Beach, Thursday,
in 3 10. w. Donohue will ride him to-
day. The Bard is 10 splendid condition.
Billy Haywood will mount him.
