ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
BROOKLYN, May 16.-The crowd which
witnessed the races at Gravesend to-day was
small in comparison with the throng which
cheered the winner of the Brooklyn Handi-
cap on Wednesday, but those who were
present saw some good sport, and, when they
were lucky enough to pick the winner. re-
ceived splendid dividends. The Carlton
Stakes, for 3-year-olds, was the feature of
the day, and it was genuine surprise, Joe
Cotton winning it with Carroll, against
whose chances the sure-man bookies were
laying 15 to 1. Sam Browns pair, Reporter
and Buddhist, were the favorites, with
Dryers pair, Longstreet and Long Island,
a strong second choice.
To good start Carroll set out and made
the pace all the way, the others never being
able to get up to him, Reporter, in particular,
running poor race. The time was 1:4214, but
the winner could have beaten it by at least half
second had he been pushed.
REPORTERS POOR RACE.
Garrison lay out of the race with Reporter
for the first half mile, and when he attempted
to close the gap was unable to do so. Long
street, one of the Dryers pair, ran clinking
good race and he is plainly the king pin 3-year-
old of the stable. He was second, with Mr..
Withers Cyclone colt third. Mr.. Cotton saw
his colt win from the reporters stand. Trainer
Boyle thought Browns Reporter would win,
but his own colt was better than he thought
and surprised him most agreeably.' Mutuals
on the winner paid $l31 20. He was very ably
ridden by Fred Littletield.
The opening race of the day at three-quar-
ters of a mile had some of the fastest sprinters
in the land engaged. The start was an excel
lent one, with Eolian first away. 1t was
ding-dong finish, all riding and whipping but
Tipstaf won by length from Fordham, who
was half a length in front of Eolian, heat be-
fore Belle dor.
BESSIE JUNE WINS.
The second race was handicap at one mile
and an eighth. Barrister, Dunboyne and Lam
gar were the leaders to the good start, but 60
ing past the stand Passport showed in front.
Bessie June and Barrister had it hot and heavy
in the run home, Bessie June landing the Dwyer
colors In their initial win this year by head
from Barrister, who beat Langar six lengths.
The fifth race was a selling scramble for 2
year-olds at five turlongs, with Bill Daly's flly
Urbana favorite at 2H TO ! against Pell
Nell showed considerable speed in the early
part of the race, but died away in the stretch.
1t was the second victory for Father Bill, and
his caubeen sailed aloft as Urbana passed the
post.
The closing race of the day was welter ham
dicap sweepstakes at six furlongs. Miracle led
for half mile. when Young Duke headed him
and looked a sure winner until Hayward
first race of the season for the Chesterbrook
string by an open length. Young Duke barely
beat Miracle for the place, and the rest fol-
lowed in close order.
