An unusually large throng for Monday saw
seven spirited races decided at the Gravcsend
course Of the Brooklyn Jockey Club yesterday.
and as favortcs won n fair share of the events,
the talent did not have any reasonable grounds

best Of n start that was good for all
but wah Jim. The pair cut out the
running until furlong from home.

won cleverly by two lengths. Laughing
Water beat Cottonade head for second
money, Mr.. Hendricks fllly showing lot OF
speed in tho homestrotch. Kirsch was inter-
fcred with furlong from home. and will do
better some other day. Wightman was ridden
BY his owner. Tom Klcy. and he caught tho
whip for quarter Of a mile. This colt is off,
and should be let up.
