Gravesend Race Track, n. y, May %
A large crowd was attracted to the track
to-day by the programme which was pre-
sented. 1t was a grand day for the sport,
the weather being clear and cool, with a
pleasant land bree e. The track. though
wet underneath, was dry upon the surface
and was, everything considered, in good
shape. The talent met with defeat after
defeat to-day, only one favorite winning
out OF the six races. Among the IN
teresting events scheduled on the card.
were the fremont stakes and the, Fort
Hamilton handicap.
One of the surprises of the day was the
winning OF the Fort Hamilton handicap
by John Cooper, a 20 to l shot. Though
Dobbins was made the favorite with odds
OF to ., MANY believed that Henry of
Navarro would prove the winner, and
considerable money was placed on
him. John Cooper and Henry of
Navarro raced neck and neck down the
home stretch, but just after the last
furlong post had been passed it was
plainly seen that the latter was ridden
out, and he barely got second place from
Hornpipe.
Pickpocket, the only favorite that won
to-day, easily defeated Picknicker and
Madrid in the opening event.
The other races were interesting and
though not won by favorites. the prizes
went to we'll backed horses and thus
get-away-day ended.
