FEATURES OF Yesterdays CONTESTS AT THE
BROOKLYN JOCKEY CLUBS TRACK.
To good weather would mean enjoyable racing.
Yesterdays contests at Gravesend would have
r,eased the most exactng. for it is seldom that
one finds a perfect day for outdoor sports.
hut the average racegoer is not easily pleased;
bs wants good fields of high-class horses stirring
contests, and opportunity to find fault with the
officials. Yesterdays racing could not be classed
in this way, for the card far from attractive.
while a continuance of poor work by the starter
dulled what interest the finishes brought. Taken
altogether. 1t an ordinary days racing. with
five of the seven decided going to the credit
of favorites.
