GRAvEsEND, T. l., May 20.--'Thls was the
last day but one OF the meeting here and the
attendance did not number all told over
three thousand persons. The latter fact was
accounted for by tho heavy fall of rain that

until after 10 o'clock. The track was, of
course, a sea of mud and water, but it was
not at all holding, as is proved by the good
time the races were run in. The Morris sta

their respective races and won two races,
including the Fort Hamilton handicap aud
