New YORK, May 22.-Whatever pre-
tensions to greatness as three-year-
Sir Dixon and Raceland may lay claim
to, the Emperor of Norfolk to-day
effectively disposed of them in the race
for the Brooklyn Derby. In addition to
these three Prince Royal was started,
with Hayward up, to assist his stable
companion, Raceland, and Mr.. Haggins
also started Tennyson, who has just
come on from the West. Emperor of
Norfolk was a good favorite at to 5,
but the Dwyer money kept Sir Dixon a
good second choice at to 5. Raceland
was supported by his own people, but
not by the public or talent to any eX-
tent, and the others were friendleSS.
Prince Royal made the running two
lengths in front of Raceland and En-
peror of Norfolk, who were Tapped,
length before Sir Dixon till half mile
from home, when Sir Dixon begun to
move up and Emperor of Norfolk at the
same time begun to close on the leader.
Raceland was beaten at the head of the
stretch, and when we'll Strengthened
out Emperor of Norfolk came away fol-
lowed by Sir Dixon. Mclaughlin made
desperate efforts to close on the Califor-
nlan Emperor, but the latter without
even being shaken up
EASILY RETAINED THE LEAD
and won by two lengths; Sir Dixon sec
ond, three lengths before Prince Royal,
who beat his stable companion, Race
land, a head. TennySOn was poor
fourth. The race was fast one, the
first quarter being run in 26 seconds. the
half i'll 5134, the three-quarters in 1:16M,
the mile in l ;4214 and the mile and a
quarter in 2:0SM. The Emperor pulled
up as fresh as if he had just come out of
the stable. The Lawnview handicap
was great betting event, turned out a
grand race and resulted in the victory
of an outsider, who started at so to l,
and on whom even his own stable did
not have penny. Favor was slightly
the favOrlte, but Richmond. VOlante
and Banbury were each so well backed
that they sold practically on even terms.
Belyidere also came i'll for deal of sup
port. Ordway leaped to the head by
The Bourbon, made the running until
half mile from home, when The Bourbon
dropped back and Volante shot up like
fash, followed by Favor, Banburg and
Eurus, and Richmond and Belvidere,
who had been trailing, also moved up.
This lot, together with Ordway, who re-
tanned his lead,
WERE HEAD AND HEAD
as they turned into the stretch. When
we'll Strengthened out Ordway drew
away, but Favor closed on him, as did
also Richmond, who attempted to get
through between them, but Mclaughlin
pulled Favor in so that he could not
come through. A desperate finish en-
sued, but Ordway managed to last long
enough to win by a short head; Favor
second scant length before Richmond.
Belvidere was good fourth. Had
Richmond been able to come through he
would have won cleverly. The race
was good one, as the fractions show.
The quarter was run in 26 seconds, the
half in 51s4, the three-quarters IN :16I,
the mile in 1:4212 and the mile and one
furlOng in sc. For the opening dash
of six furlongs Fitzroy was a good ia
vorite at 2 to 1, but though he made the
running throughout, at the end he had
to succumb to the Californian, Laredo,
and Mr.. Belmont's filly, Lady Primrose.
The former won cleverlY by head,
Lady Primrose second, half length
before FitZrOy. For the mile and one
sixteenth. the California mare, Mollie
McCarthy's Last, was favorite, but the
reinStated half-mile track mare
BORDELAIRE WON CIEVERLY
by neck from the Cyclone colt, who
beat Lottery length. Mollie Nc
Carthy's Last was never prominent, and
finished fourth. Young Mr.. Lorillard's
BlaZon won the tWO-y year-old race clev-
Hayward'S part. Harrisburg seemed to
have the race safe, but in the last
hundred yards BlaZon came with a
rush and won cleyerly by a length. The
last race was also won cleverly by Hay
ward on Banner Bearer, the outsider,
Lackawanna, getting the place. Alto
gether it was capital days racing that
was furnished at the Brooklyn course.
