GRAvEsEND, Sept. 24.-The great
first special was run and won this after
noon. Fully 1900 persons shook OFT
their usual decorum, shouted wildly,
threw their hats in the air, shook their
neighbors' hands vigorously, aud felt
glad that they were present to see the
king of the turf-Kingston- -cleverly
ridden by the colored Archer, Isaac
Murphy, pass under the wire length
in front of Raceland. Banker August
BelmOnt's representative. Tenny was
first to respond to the bugler's call,
resplendent in new colOrs. He was
profusely applauded as he cantered
past the stand. But the aSsemblage
broke loose in one wild hurrah shortly
afterward, when Raceland, Kingston
and Los Angeles passed by toward the
pest. The excitement was intense as
they wheeled about, ready for the word
"go." They're off, !" shouted the crowd,
and so they were at the trSt asking;
with Los Angeles, Raceland, Tenny and
Kingston together. The pace was very
slow i'm the first quarter, and, passing
the stand after having traversed quar-
ter, Raceland led by four lengths. At
the end of three-quarters OF a mile
Raceland was
TWO LENGTHS IN THE VAN.
Kingston and Los Angeles were
Tapped, with Tenny three parts OF
length behind. Making the turn for
home Los Angeles was beaten, and
Barnes began to ply his whip. Ham
ilton and Mclaughlin also went to the
whip, but Murphy merely shook King
ston up. That was all that was nee
essary. The great racer gamely
responded, and coming with
rush, was soon in the van.
Raceland then was second, Tenny third,
and Los Angeles was out OF It,. Inc
pace in the last furlOng was terrific. but
Kingston was the king of the lot. and
amid the widest excitement he gal
lOped under the wire a winner by
length in 2:0619,. the fastest time on
record. Tenny, always agame hnlsher.

place and share of the applause, and
