New YORK. May 16.-The second day
of the Brooklyn Jockey clubs spring
meeting was a dreary one. The rain,
which had set in on Monday, kept up al
most without intermiSsion, and the con-
sequence was that the attendance was
light, the fields small, the track heavy,
the betting light, and everybody felt
uncomfortable. For the opening race
the Dryers started real good thing in
FOrdham. who had been outwalking
every other three year-old in the stable.
The betting opened at three to one
against him. and closed at five to four
on, the Dryers getting nearly all their
money on at the best odds. Eurus was
at first the favorite, and as he had Nc
Laughlin up he had strong following
even to the end. Fordham won from
end to end, and very easily. The finish
for the place was very close, and really
all the people on the stand thought that
Bradford had received the verdict. The
Judges. however, issued their verdict in
behalf of Eurus. LelogaS was deemed
a certainty for the second race, with
Speciality as his most dangerous oppo-
nent. Battery made the running till
the half-lnile pole, when he did enough
and Lelogas and Specially passed him.
The two
RAN HEAD AND HEAD
till into the stretch, when Lelogas had
enough. In the last furlOng Klamath
came up very strong and won by head.
His victory was complete surprise.
His owner and trainer, Charley Little
field, did not have penny Oh, thinking
he had no chance. For the Myrtle
stakes Jack Mcdonald, the bookmaker
who owns Long Knight, thought he had
certainty and pounded his horse all
over the country. He was beaten, how
ever, a half mile from home, and Queen
Of Elizabeth and Valiant, against whom
long prices were obtainable, ran first
and second. The latter would probably
have won had he not SwerVed to the out
side OF the track Oh swinging into the
stretch. The winner, who was entered
to be sold for -, 100, was bought in for
S2,433. The Carlton stakes was probably
country-Only two starters. The Dryers
did not back Sir Dixon and Mr.. Bel
mont thought that he had
certainty with Raceland. The Jockeys
on both had waiting orders, and the re-
suit was that they barely cantered for
the first half mile. Then they began to
move. and for the last three furOngS
the pace was good, the pair running
like team. In the last sixteenth Sir
Dixon forged ahead, and won by two
lengths. How bad the race was may be
judged from the time, 1861. The last
half was run in % seconds. Goldfish
won the fifth race very easy, with Bob
Fury second. The DIVERS backed the
winner heavily. For the last race Myr-
tie was backed by his owners, the book
making firm of Appleby q Johnson,
from 10 to down to 5 to 2, and won
cleverly by a length. Prospect was the
public fayorite, but the Dryers did not
back him. 0ritlamme, who started in
the Brooklyn handicap Tuesday, prac-
tically broke down in that race, and Ger
tainly will not be able to race again this
year.
