GRAvEsEND RACE TRACK, Sept. l9.-Fully
10000 persons made the journey to this
course to-day, expecting to hear that the
fight between the poolrooms and track had
been settled, but they were sadly disap-
pointed Neither side would make any con-
cessions. The weather was perfect, the
track in magnificent shape and the racing
above the average. The feature of the days
racing was the first special. Tenny, the
favorite, won in slow time. The other stake
feature was the Willow, for 2-year-old fllies,
and was won easily by the odds on the
favorite Yorkville Belle. The Cokena f1Ily,
which finished second, was all but left at
the post, otherwise she would have given
the winner q hard race.
The Board of Control, at a meeting to-day,
suspended Jockey Bergens license for mis-
behavior at the post.
