GRAvEsEND, May 15.-The Brooklyn
handicap has been run and Tenny is

the pleasure of the immense throng, thirty
thousand or more would be sadly married
by rain, but about noon the sun shone in a
faint half hearted way through the
haze and every one heaved sigh of relief
The heart Of every sportsman gearned
through the preceding events to the crest

Every one was full of excitement and
the crush in the betting ring was tremend-
Gus. One hundred and eighteen book
makers were doing business, but even they
could not even begin to supply the specula-
tive wants of the crowd. When the horses
turned and faced the starter the noise in
the grand stands sank to a murmur and all
eyes were turned to the post. After two
breaks they all got together in a close
bunch. All well in motion and the red flag
flashed through the air and the mighty
struggle was in full swing. AS they swept
past the stand the three year-old Russell
took the lead, running under a pull, and
with Nellie Bly,, Once Again and Santiago
Tapped On him and Riley and King Thomas
bringing up the rear. They ran in this
order around the lower turn and those who
bet on Tenny commenced to get anxious
As they started up the back stretch
Santiago went up to RusselPs head
and the two ran locked for quarter, while
Burlington commenced to occupy promi-
nent position and Jenny also moved up
AS they struck the upper turn the pace
commenced to quicken and Russell fell
back beaten, leaving Santiago in front. He
In turn gave way to Loantaka, who piloted
the field into the stretch, but soon gave up
and Tenny showed in front, closely pressed
by Judge Morrow. Three sixteenths from
the finish Barnes went to whipping.
For fraction of a second the favorite fall
tered. The cry-and despairing one it
was, too-went up, 'Tenny beaten' ' 1t did
look like it, but Tenny responded nobly
The race was not his yet, however, for
Garrison was working frantically on
Prince Royal and Tea Tray was rap
IDLY moving up from the rear. The
excitement was intense. Hats, bonnets,
handkerchiefs, umbrellas and parasols
were thrown into the air, and cries of
Ienny, Kenny" prince Royal wins"
and "Come on, Tea Tray" were heard on
Jenny held his antagonists safe and passed
the finish two good lengths in front of
Prince Royal, who beat Tea Tray a short
head for second money. A grin of delight
spread all over the black face of "Piken
Barnes as he glanced back over his
shoulder and realized that the race was
won. The time was 2:10, but it was
nothing out of the common, but it was
grand race.
Barnes was placed on floral horseshoe
and carried to the dressing room. He
has won the Futurity, Junior Cham
pion and Brooklyn, and says his ambition
is now to ride the winner of the Suburban.
