FoxhaIl Keene's New Purchase
Was Loafer in His First Race.
GRAyESEND, May 25.-The card Of
fered here to-day was barren of stake
events, but it was a good one neverthe-
less. and promised to furnish some good
contests. And it did. but not in the
manner relished by the public. Out of
the six races two went to outsiders in
the betting, one to 20 to / shot, and
the last race was won by the favorite.
This helped investors out to small eX-
tent, but the books got most of the
money. The feature of the days racing
was the defeat of Tournament, the horse
for which FoXhalI Keene recently paid
S35.500. 1t was his first appearance of
the season, and he was a red-hot
favorite at odds. He appeared to be
going well within himself for six fur
longs, but when called upon at the turn
for home he failed to respond and was
never in the hunt. Jockey Martin
Bergen, who was threatened with the
loss of his license for misbehavior at the
post last Saturday, apologized to-day
and was allowed to ride. He received
perfect ovation when he made his APP
pearance on Disappointment, 20 to
shot, and then went out and rode a good
race, winning quite handily at the end.
