TOUGH ON THE TALENT.
Sir Walter the Only Favorite to Win
at Brighton Beach.

at Brighton Beach.
Brighton Beach Race Track, July IA
The talent went wide of the mark in
their pickings here to-day, and the result
is that their pockets are not as bulky
with green backs as they were an hour
before the bugle sounded for the first
race. Their first upset was in the OPEN
ing race, in which Harry Alonzo, the
favorite, was defeated by Mary S., an 8
to l shot.
Florence was regarded as having a
royal chance to win the second race, and
was backed accordingly, but Stonellie,
after hard struggle.
Another good thing went wrong in the
third race, The Buffer, an odds-ou
favorite, being easily defeated by Jesse
Taral an to l shot, whose previous
races have been bad, but who, to the con-
sternation of the talent, made a holy
show Of her field today.
Chant, TO 2 chance, defeated the ia
vorite. ARAB, in the fifth race, and the
surprises of the day ended with the de-
feat of the favorite in the sixth race by
St Luke, to l chance.
The only favorite that won to-day was
Sir Walter, who carried off the honors in
the fourth race, defeat ting Comanche by
two lengths, and raling in the largest
purse of the day.
