LAKEWOOD PRINCE A WINNER.

RESULTS OF THE GRAVESEND RACES

The fall meeting of the Homewood Park
Association was finished yesterday and a
goou wind-up it was. There were more
than 1000 people present and the weather
and track were good. There were four
regular events and two unfinished races ON
the card, but only three of the former were
brought off on account of darkness. Two
of the three regular events were somewhat
tame, as Raven and Egyptienna won their
tree-for-all trot and proved himself splen-
did horse. He is goer and when in form
can beat any of those who opposed him
easily.
The meeting has been financial success
despite the bad weather and the manage
ment has beeDexcellent, also the programme
arrangements
Therewas great interest in the unfinished
pace. Cleveland S. and j. II. L. each had
two heats, and there was heavy betting on
their chances for the race. Cleveland S.
was favorite. The send of was good one.
j. H. L. paced good heat. while Cleveland
S. broke badly. The former won handily
by two lengths.
The unfinished free-for-all trot was won
by Lakewood Prince. He and g illet each
had two heats won and the de Gliding heat
was won easily by the Prince.
An Interesting Trotting Race.
The first of the regular events on the card
was the 2:20 trot, and it was Just as hard
fought battle as anybody would wish to
see. Gertrude was the favorite before the
race started, end after she won the first two
heats she was a very strong favorite. Con-
stantine always had lots of supporters, and
he won the race by completely outstaying
the little chestnut mare.
Gertrude won the first heat after a good
struggle with Garnet She also won the
second after close argument with Con-
stantine. The heat tired Gertrude con-
siderably. Constantine won the third heat
with much to spare from Gertrude. Nellie
Mason, in the fourth heat, got down to
splendid gait and won an excellent heat
from Constantine by length.
Constantine was still favorite over the
field, aud the betting was heavy. He won
the fifth heat easily. The sixth heat was
the best of the meeting. The favorite and
Gertrude trotted neck and neck to the
lower turn. when the mare dropped off leg
weary, and Constantine won easily by four
lengths.
There was considerable speculation on the
2:27 pace, but the race didn't result in much
that was interesting as Raven, the local
horse, had an easy task in winning three
heats after allowing Miss Cumsky to win
the first heat. Raven was of course, a
strong tavorite in the pools After she had
won the second she was almost at prohibi-
tive odds.
Miss Cumslzy Got Heat.
Miss Cuinsky won the first heat after
quite an argument with King Hero. The
mare made game effort for the second
heat but Raven was too speedy and won
the heat and the two following with ease.
In the fourth heat the drivers on Wilkie
Knox and Dusty Bob were taken down and
new ones put up but without mnch differ
ence in the going of the horses.
In the last heat Miss Cumsky broke
badly in going to the quarter and lost so
much ground that she was distanced and
King Hero was given second money.
M. I. Hoyer, driver of Harry Hoyer,
was fined once S. and once S25 for scoring
before the pole horse.
The 2:33 trot was merely "waikover" for
Egyptienne and she won the three heats as
she liked.
