NEW YORK, May 19.-There was a
big crowd at the Brooklyn races yester-
day. but the racing was only of the
ordinary type, and upsets were rather
frequent. The track was very heavy
The feature of the day was the easy vic
tory of the Western twO-year-old colt,
French Park, for the Bedford. The
Dryers backed up their colt, Goldfish,
an own brother to the speedy Kingfsh,
heavily. but he could not live with Nor
riSsy's colt, who won. in the commonest
kind OF canter. For the Parkway
handicap, the third of the great spring
handicapS of the Brooklyn Jockey club,
only three started, Favor, Valiant and
Dry MOnOpole. John Laughlin was
upon Favor, and he was installed hot
favOrite at 10 to :, while Dry Monopole
was literally quoted at 6 to 3. Valiant.
who had no chance, made the running
till half mile from home, when he had
enough, and the other two drew away.
Favor, who always had the race in hand,
waited till the last hundred yards when
he pushed ahead and won easily by
length, Dry MOnopole two in front of
Valiant. For the opening mile dash
hackers were very much at sea which to
select. Dwyer Bros Balston was in
stalled favorite, but Now-or-Never, the
Inverness filly. Larchment, Tristan and
Joseph were all backed by their respec-
tive parties as good things. The race
resulted in the easiest kind of victory
for the Inverness 1illy, who literally
LED FROM THE START
to finish, and won handily by two
lengths. The fight for the place was
rather a hot one, Now-or-Never secur-
ing the verdict by head from Joseph,
who beat Tristan neck. The second
race. handicap at mile, was won by
Eurus, thanks to Hayward's grand rio
ing. Portland made the running till
the whip, closed on him. Both
horses swerved under the whip,
but Hayward managed to keep
his mount together, and won
cleverly by a length and a half from
Portland. Amalgam, who ran in this
race, performed well, and he will do to
watch. He was eased in the stretch.
Mr.. BelmOnt's Carnot was the good
thing for the selling race for two-year-
Olds, but Mclaughlin, with the Dwyer
youngster. Traviston, Just managed to
all the running together, the others
being out of it. In the last race Young
Duke was the faYorite, and the good
thing, and he won cleverly by length
from Barnum. The judges, however,
did not like the running of Barnum,
and came to the conclusion that he did
not try to WIN. After an investigation,
in which it was shown that the horse
was not at all backed, and went from 50
down To So to 81, the judges ruled
and his jockey, Nelson, off.
