MORRIS PARK, June 13.-Fully $1,000
persons were present here to-day, and
they were treated to a series of sur
prises that were anything but pleasant.
The weather was all that could have
been desired, the track was in flst-class
shape, and the card offered was more
than ordinarily good one. The two
stake events, the Bowling Brook handi-
cap for three-year-olds, and the Antici-
patton stakes for two-year-olds, both
witnessed the downfall of red-hot
fayOrites, and the bookmakers reaped
such harvest as rarely falls to their
lot. Russell, the favorite for the handi-
cap, was beaten on his merits, but st.
FlOrlan, the favOrite for the Anticipa-
ton stakes. was defeated through the
stupidity of his rider, Littlefield, and the
superb jockeyshIp of Garrison on
Nomad. St. Fiorian had the race won,
and Littlefield took short nap, when
Garrison, fairly lifting Nomad off his
feet, drew up and won by short head.
OF the other races two went to long
shots and two to favorites. but the latter
were at such short prices that the public
had no chance whatever at getting
even.

Angeles and Diablo next. Kingston
coming into the stretch got the lead,
followed by CaSsius, Diablo and Los
Angeles. At the last quarter Diablo
came up to Kingston's flank, and it was
a fighting finish on Tarral's part, but
Kingston won by half length from
Diablo, who was four lengths before
Cassius. Time, 2:0714. This time is
very fast and this race was Diablo's
final preparation for the suburban. He
made fine showing, and if his race to-
day is any criterion, he will be knock
ing at the door at the suburban finish.

mau, 116 & to 5; Sequence colt 102, to L;

TO good start the Sequence colt was
first to show, and going right to the
front he opened up a gap of two
lengths, and piloted the field over the
hill to the stretch. Then, EsQuimau,
who had been running second, moved
to the front, and, holding his lead to the
end, won handily by length from the
Sequence colt, who beat Little Jim and
Vengeur two lengths for the place. The
two last named ran dead heat for third
money. Time, 1:4SH.
