That's What Struck the Tai
ent in the Fifth Race
at GraYeSend.
SMALL FIELDS THE ORDER.
Kentigerna, Sirocco and Prince
George Capture Their
Events.

RAJ. h-h'N, III Es'pl.-ND sept
27.-This was the last day but one at
Gravesend, and race-goersa are not sorry.
The meeting has been a disappointment.
Small fields and uninteresting races
have been the rule. and the opposition
game at Gutenberg played havoc with
the gate receipts.
The card to-day was attractive when
seen on paper last night, but the blue
pencil to-day cut several of the races
badly, and Il duh afternoon was the re-
suit.
The weather was raw and cold.
The track was in fair shape.
The opening event originally had six
entries. Four of these were withdrawn,
leaving only Potentatae and Kentigerna
to go.
The latter opened at : to s., but was
jumped on by he talent and quickly
rounded down to even money. Potcn-
tate receded from 8 to 5 to 8 to 10.
The race showed that the money was
on right. kentigerna took the lead at
the Start and was never afterwards
Rudolph was a prohibitive favorite in
the second. race. He won hands down
front of Stockton.
The race was embarrassing to az save
the bookmakers, who made time books.

As the race was run in 2.lO. the books
got all the money.
Three horses contested In the third
race. Sirocco was a prohibitive favorite
and he won hands down.
The time books made 1.15 IL their time
