Rain Somewhat Mars the Events on the
Gravesend Track-Lots of Mud, but Good
Time Made-Raceland Makes His Ap-
Pearance Again.
GRAvEsEND, May 29.-This was the last day
but one of the meeting here, and the at
tendance did not number all told over 5000
persons. This latter fact was accounted for
by the heavy fall of rain that commenced
early in the morning and lasted until after
10 O'Clock. The track was of course sea of
mud and water, but it was not atall holding
as is proved by the good time most of the
races were won in.
The Morris stable horses were again
prominent factors in their respective races,
and won two races, including the Ft. Hamil-
ton handicap, and finished third with Pc
ruvian in the first race. Hypatica, their
filly, by Woodlands, OUT of Maggie B, that
won the7second race, was entered to be sold
for s., 500, and was bought by Chris Smith,
Western plunger, for 81 900. Raceland made
his first appearance for the year in the fifth
race, and the best he could do was to finish
second to- Chesapeake. He is very much on
the big side just at present and needs race
or two TO get into condition.
