ing Race-Kingston Wins His First
Race-The Corbett-Jackson Fight.


GRAvEsEND, May 15.-The Brooklyn
handicap has been run, and Tenny is
the winner. For time it looked as
though the pleasure of the immense
throng of 10000 people or more would
be sadly marred by the rain, but about
noon the sun shone in faint, half
hearted way through the haze, and
every one heaved sigh of relief. The
heart of every sportsman yearned
through the preceding events to the
great handicap event, which was placed
fourth on the card.

THE FLAG is LOWERED.
Everyone was full of excitement and
the crush in the betting ring was tre-
mendous. One hundred and eighteen
bookmakers were doing business, but
even they could not begin to supply the
spec ulative wants Of the crowd. When.
the horses turned and faced the starter
the noise in the grand stand sank to a
murmur, and all eyes were turned to-
ward the post. After two false breaks
they all got together in close bunch,
we'll in motion, the red flag flashed
through the air, and the mighty strug-
gle was in full swing.
RUSSELL LEADS PAST THE STAND.
As they swept towards the stand
tbree-year old Russell took the lead,
running under strong pull, with Nelly
Bly,, Once Again and Santiago Tapped on
him, and Riley and King Thomas bring
ing up the rear. They ran in this order
around the lower turn, and those who
bet on Jenny commenced to get anxious.
THE LOS ANGELES HORSE TAKES THE LEAD.
AS they started up the backstretch,
Santiago went up to Russell's head, and
the two ran locked for quarter mile.
Burlington commenced to occupy a
prominent position, and Tenny also
moved up. As they passed the upper
turn the pace commenced to quicken and
Russell fell back beaten, leaving San
tiago in front.
TENNY CRAwLs UP.
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 whip, and for fraction of a
second, the favorite faltered. The cry,
and a despairing one it was, went up,
"Tenny is 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 rapidly NOV
ing up from the rear. The excitement
was intense. Hats, bonnets, handker-
chiefs, umbrellas and parasols were
thrown into the air, and cries of ''Tenny,
Tenny," "''Prince Royal WINS" Come
on Tea Tray" were heard on all sides.
1t was grand struggle, but Tenny held
his antagonists safe and passed finish
two good lengths in front of Prince
Royal, who beat Tea Tray short head
for second money. A grin of delight
spread all over the black face of pike"
Barnes, as he glanced back over his
shoulder and realized that the race was
won. The time, 2:10, was nothing out
of common, but it was a grand race.
Barnes was placed in floral horse shoe
and carried to the dressing room. He has
ridden the winner of the futurity, junior
champion, and Brooklyn handicap, and
says his ambition is now to ride the
winner of the Suburban.
