During the Races.
GRAyEsEND, May 23.-FulIy 10000
persons made the journey to the course
to-day and allowed themselves to be
made prisoners. They came to see the
racing, and they were fully rewarded
for their trouble, for some of the finishes
were exciting enough to satisfy the
most Dlase, especially in the Bedford
stakes. st. Florian was strong favor
lite, and at the last furlong pole APP
peared TO have the race won, but just
then Garrison brought NOmade up with
a rush and 1t was all the favor
lite could do to win by a short
head. Only two favoTites won dur
ing the day, while the other
successful horses rated at good prices in
the betting. After the last race Phil
Dwyer accused Jockey Martin Bergen
of making trouble at the post, and
threatened to have his license revoked.
Bergen replied rather strongly, and the
consequence is that recommendation
has been made to the board of control to
take his license away. The pool room
fight is getting hotter and hotter every
day, and to-day the wires leading from
the Western Union Office situated out
side the track were cut. The officers OF
the Jockey club vigorously deny any
connection with this matter. and are
trying to ferret out the guilty parties.
