rich Brooklyn handicap at Gravesend
this afternoon in the presence of 10000
people. Lamplighter, the favorite, who
went to the post carrying a ton of
money, was second, and Leonawell third.
The winners time was 200, made frac-
tionally as follows: The quarter, .2514 /;
half, 81; three-qusrters, :16; the mile,
:421s mile and quarter, 200.
Dablo was regarded as being in first
fight in his two and three-year-old form,
but after his third year his legs became
shaky. Since then he has been regarded
simply as q high-class selling platter,
likely to break down permanently in
any race. His wonderful improvement
in form today was, therefore, stunning
in its effect.
THE GREAT EVENT.
The Brooklyn handicap run today was
the seventh in the history Of the event
and was guaranteed TO be worth $25. 900.
OF this the winner gets $4,000; second
5000; third $4,000.
The day was bright and fair. The
OCbblnk lluE PIccOAbC0 UClOiO tAC AfthOl-
cap WAS run wild and boisterous scene.
Tie jam was something awful. It was
just minute past four when the horses
were summoned from the paddock.
They were all warmly received, but
Lamplighter had regular ovation,
showing where the hopes and dollars of
the public were.

After several futile attempts to get
them in line for the start, Starter Rowe
gave the jockeys good rating.
THEY GET OFF.
Finally, at 4:19 O'Clock, the horses
got the flag to almost a perfect start.
Judge Morrow, Leonawell, Terrifer and
Fidelio were little in the lead, with
Lamplighter, Charade, Pickpocket,
Hume and Mars in bunch in the rear.
Terrifier, true to his daily tactics, inn
mediately shot to the front and set a
clinking pace past the stand and into
the back stretch. Here Leonawell, who
had been struggling for hia head, passed
Terrifer and took lead of two lengths.
PRETTY RACE.
The race all through the back stretch
was an exceedingly pretty one, all the
horses running well together and within
striking distance of the leader. At the
far turn Leonawell slightly increased his
lead, and shout went up from his ad-
mirers. Their Joy was short-llved, how
ever, for, turning into the home stretch,
Diablc, Lamplighter, Judge Morrow and
Hume moved up and joined the leaders.
DESPERATE DRIVE.
A desperate and highly exciting drive
ensued, the horses running almost head
and head all through the stretch. Less
than quarter Of furlong from the wire
Diablo began to draw out, and soon get.
ting clear of the others. won the grand
race by length and half.
Lamplighter beat the tired but game
Teonawell neck for place.
BIG ODDS AGAINST THE WINNER.
Taral, who rode the winner, was
placed on floral horse shoe and carried
in triumph from the judges stand to the
paddock. A floral horse shoe was also
placed about the neck of the winning
horse, but scarcely ripple of applause
greeted these ceremonies. AS good as
60 to against could be obtained (about
Diablo's chances) in the early betting,
go little we're his prospects of winning
the race considered. The straight mu-
tuals on him. of which only IL were
sold, paid $294.50. One hundred and
seven bookmakers did business in the
betting ring, but were utterly unequal
to the task OF taking in the money offered
by the crowd.
