New YORK, May 26.-For the second
time The Bard and Hanover met to-day
at the Brooklyn track, and again The
Bard defeated the crack three-year-old
of 1887, and he beat him in the most de-
cisive manner, winning the Brooklyn
cup in the commonest kind of canter
by ten lengths. The rain, as usual, de-
scended in torrents most of the day, and
the track was one vast mud puddle. So
bad was the slush that after going half
a mile the horses could not be dis
tinguished. There was a tremendous
interest in the race. Hanover, in his
work, had showed marked improve
ment. On Thursday morning he was
tried mile in 1:42119. The best work
that The Bard did prior to his races was
a mile in AS, and the Dryers thought
they had certainty. In the books The
Bard was of course the favorite, OPEN
ing at to 5, while s to was offered
against Hanover. Stable money and
public following, however, forced down
the price against Hanover, and when
the horses went to the post it was to 5
against him and 4 to 5. The
Bard. Valante was slightly supported
for place at to 5, but Fenelon was
frlendless at 80 to l straight, and to
for the place. The race is easily de-
scribed. The
BARD TOOK THE LEAD
at the end of the first half, and in the
lengths, and Hanover and Volante run
ming head and head. Along the back
stretcn Hanover drew away from Vol
ante and nearing the half, attempted to
close on the Bard, but Hayward, antici-
pating this, got to work with his spurs
and the Bard drew further away. Near
ing the 8 quarters Hanover again at
tempted to move up, but it was without
avail and Mclaughlin ceased to perse-
we're. The Bard keeping right on, then
drew away and won in center by ten
lengths. Mclaughlin
PULLED UP AT THE POST
and let Volante beat him head for sec
ond place, to the intense disgust of all
the onlookers. He received a severe
talking to from the Dryers. The race
was fair one, considering the state of
the track. The first quarter was run
in rs seconds, the half in
SO, nthe three-quarters in 1:1e%
the mile in :4515, the mile and a quar-
ter in 2:121a and the mile and half in
2:424. Hanover is evidently not Han
over yet, for he showed no speed in any
part of the race, and the going, also,
was decidedly against time. Altogether,
it was rathera hard day for hackers.
For the opening mile dash Lady Prim-
rose was a hot favorite, but, although
she was leading all the way, in the last
furlong Golden Reel closed on her and
beat her out by two lengths, Mollie Nc
Carthy's last being third, four lengths
behind. Favor was looked upon as
certainty for the mile and a furlong
handicap, but he could do no better
than finish second. Ordway and Dry
Monopole made the running lead and
led till the last quarter, when Dry Mon
opole drew away in the stretch. Favor
attempted to close, but the muddy GO
ing suited Dry Monopole, and he lasted
the journey out and won by length,
Favor second, six in front of Brookfull,
who came very strong at the end. For
the Gazelle stakes Peg Wellington
but she was never really in
the race. Nena and Bella B going
head and head, set the pace till into the
stretch, when Winona went to the front.
In the last furlong BlithSome came very
strong, but
wINoNA WON CLEvERLY
by half length, with Blithesome sec
ond length and a half before Bella B.
who beat Peg Wellington a head. Nc
Laughlin won the two-year-old race
handily, with the favorite, Seymour,
and followed it up by landing the final
welter weight race with Portland quite
easily. Brambleton was the favorite
for this race, but, though he ran head
and head with Portland till into the
stretch, he died away at the end from
being trifie short of work, and Britain
mic beat him two lengths from the
place.
