The perfect summer weather today
resulted in between 10000 and $4,000
people crowding into the grounds to
witness the great Brooklyn handicap.
The rain last night gave little promise
of decent track, but early this morn
ing great force of men was put to work
with the results that the track was in
fairly good condition when the time for
racing came. The crowd took little in
terest in the events preceding the han
dicap. They were waiting for the strug-
gle for the 5000 stake.
THE STARTERS.
The starters we're: Longstreet, 1913,
Mclaughlin; Raceland, 120, Fitzpat-
rick; Banquet, ITO, Lamley Judge
Morrow, 115. Covington Pessara, l15,
Taral; Clarendon, ia, Murphy; Fair.
view, 100, Doggett; Russell, ia, Lit
tleHeld; Port Chester, liz, Sims; Mad
stone, 10S. Bergen; George W., 100,
Midgley; Kingmaker, 81, Narvice.
The start was delayed fully ten min
utes, and there were several long break
aways. When the flag finally dropped
for good the favorite, Longstreet, was
the most prominent of the bunch. The
lightweight on Fairview was hurried
out in front of Longstreet to make the
running. His riders orders were to
take the lead, and Doggett obeyed in
structions, giving the hackers of the
opening furlong by opening up gap of
three lengths from Longstreet.
AKILLING PACE.
The pace was killing, and at the quar-
ter pole the timers marked 80 seconds,
with Fairview five lengths in front OF
Russell. Longstreet succumbed to the
hot pace and dropped back alongside of
Raceland and Pessara. When we'll into
the home stretch Littlefield became
worried at Fairview's great advantage,
and cutting loose from his companions
set out to catch him.
Longstreet dropped back, hopeleHsly
beaten, soon alter. The race was seen
to lie between Russell, Judge Morrow,
Pessara and Raceland.
RUSSELL QUITS AGAIN.
On the upper turn Russell held first
place by an open length from Judge
Morrow. His hackers were temporarily
jubilant, but Russell quit just where he
did last year. When he refused to run
further, Covington became over conf
dent and began easing up on Judge Nor
row, whereupon Taral on Pessara, who
had been unable to get through the
bunch before, came up with tremen-
dous burst of speed. Fortunately for
Morris, Covington turned in his saddle
and discovered his danger Just in time.
A sixteenth. from the finish he began to
ride Judge Morrow hard. Pessara was
slowly but surely gaining on him, and
undoubtedly would have passed him,
had not Covington drawn his whip and
began to fog Morrow. In reality he
was hitting 'Pessara on the nose, and
each time the lash came down, Pessara
would draw back his head to escape
punishment. Taral shouted to the lad
to stop, but he kept right on smashing
Pessara over the nose.
JUDGE MORROW WINS.
The finish saw Judge Morrow the
victor, by head over Pessara; Russell
third, three lengths away. Then came
Raceland, Clarendon, Banquet, George
w., Kingmaker, Fairview, Maidstone,
Port Chester, and last of all the A to S
fayorite, Longstreet.
