yesterday afternoon. the presence OF Long
street, Russell. Major Domo. Clarendon. and
| other good horses in the event OF the day in
surfing splendid contest. As In the Brooklyn
| Handicap. Longstreet was favorte In the bet
ting. but the Dwyer champion was third at the
| finish, that very speedy horse Major Domo
winning In fast time. with Russell second.
| The weather and track were all that any
| racing man could ask for, the course being
lightning fast, while scarcely cloud was TO
be seen in the heavens. The Brookdale Handi-
| cap WAS the only stake feature down on tho
programme and the talent were divided as to
the merits of the contestants. Many figured
| that russell. on his race for the Brooklyn
| Handicap. would win. but there were others
who contended that Longstreet was short Of
! work In the big racc. and that he would run
much better in small field. Major Domo
had been highly tried for the Brooklyn.
| and some surprise was expressed when
he did not appear ut the post. He WINS persist
emily touted yesterday to upset both Russell
and Longstreet Matt Alien fancied Claren-
don. and the friends OF Messrs. Ehret and Nc
| OF confidence on the big bay. Portchester and
ftdelio were practically friendless.
When the betting began those who had lost

favorite BY the Weight Of their money. and the
bookmakers were forced to cut the price.
