BROOKLYN. May 15.-The Brooklyn
Jockey club to-day probably had the
largest attendance seen at It's track
since the opening day, the occasion be-
ing the beginning of its spring meeting.
Added to this was the attraction of the
Brooklyn handicap, one OF the great
winter betting events. There were at
least 10000 present. The weather was
unpleasant. rain coming down in
drizzle during the afternoon. The
track was very muddy, although
not exactly .holding." The event of
the day--the Brooklyn handicap--re-
suited in somewhat unpleasant sur
prise for the bulk of the hackers, mas
much as horse that had been running
poorly at the winter tracks won in con-
venient kind of canter. In fact, Cast
away Ii. had the race won after the
first 100 yards, none of the others SEEM
inglY being able to get up
to him. Los Angeles, the favor
ite, to the surprise of every one,
was never in the race at all and the
only animal that made any pretenslon
to covering the ground was Badge.
apparently without much effort. But it
was a good race under these circum-
stances, however. and the time made
was surprisingly fast, the first half be-
ing run in 81 seconds and the mile in 1:43.
Of course many of the spectators rated

but then they looked at 1t from prac-
tical, or, rather, financial point Of
view. Very little interest was taken. in
the other events, although they resu lied
in capital finishes. The great handicap,
which was the fourth event on the card,
but first in interest, was run under
these conditions:

just before the star event of the day
the betting paddock was sight to be-
hold Men fought like tigers to reach
the bookmakers. Old race gOerS say
they never saw such intense excitement
it was announced that Raceland, one of
the heaviest backed horses entered had
been scratched, and the hundreds
that had their money on that
horse were making frantic efforts
to place their money elsewhere.
The scene when the bell rang was an
animated one. Men ran hither and
thither to gain points of vantage. FL
naily the last bugle call sounded, and
Badge was the first to appear, followed
by the others. The usual parade was
omitted. After short delay the flag
fell to an excellent start. but CaStaway
at once took the track, and, passing
the stand, had lead of fully four
lengths, with Sir Dixon next, Tapped by
Vengeur. Cynosure and Eric. They ran
in this order till around the first turn,
and entering the back stretch. Pass
ing the mile pole CaStaway led by
length and half, Eric second, length
before Sir Dixon. He in turn passed by
Vengeur, was a neck before Badge.
From this point out the race was a per-
feet procession, CaStaway winning in a
slow canter, and almost pulled up by
eight lengths. Badge who came strong
in the stretch finished second, two
lengths in front of Eric, who was two
lengths in front of COme-to-Taw, three
lengths behind Los Angeles, and the
rest struggled in, Sir Dixon finishing
next to last. Venguer being the whip
