LONGSTREET BEATEN OFF.
HIS JOCKEY PULLS UP AT THE START.

Isaac Murphy rode two mastery finishes at the
Brooklyn track yesterday Suideaway and
Barrisrer, but sorrow and gloom covered the grand
stand as with pan, when he lost the oceanview
Stakes, with the favorite Longsreet, by a blunder
ut the start. The starter dropped the flag when
the horses were well in line All the other flags
we're dropped properly, but some imbecie In the
Geld shouted, Come back. it's start" and Murphy
pulled UP Longstreet. Now, what fools trap was
this for jociiey of Murphy's experience to fall
into Such blunder could only result from the
grossest calesness and such careessness IS hard to
pardon in the case of a rider of such reputation 10
whom such important interests are conhdcd, and
who for years has been accustomed TO riding in the
most exciting and momentous contests OF the turf.
When Murphy got Longsreet in motion the field
was twenty lengths away, and The pace was so fast
that pursuit practically hopeless Yet Long
street got up 10 third place before the eight rongs
had been run. The effort. however, took so much
out OF him that he had nothing left for the fnish ana
Murphy pulled him up in the last hirlong. Come
toTaw, ridden by Garrison, won with astounding
esse Reporter getting second place. and Maidstone
third AS Longstreet the favorite at ODDS on

was a very costly to the great majority OF
betting men, while It was benefit Of porty pro-

could not get up at the finish.
Every one was gratifed but surprised to see the
stupendous improvement which both Come TO law
and Bsrrister had made in a very short time come
to-Taw had shown form in the East TO JUSTIFY
the faintest hope that he would get place, but he

first race. 1t only head victory, but 1t was
enough. II gained by Barness slipping through

was close squeeze, Strldeaway getting the verdict by
a head only. There many Eastern jockeys VINO
