NEW YORK May A.-For five days the
| Gravesend track has been sea of mud,
| and the three thousand persons who were
| there to-day were thoroughly uncomforta-
BILE in the driving rain. 1t was most
| dispiriting day, and even the attraction
| of the Brooklyn Derby could not induce a
| large attendance The chief event was
the derby and of the six coors on the
card ST. Maxim and Hornpipe declined the
| issue. There was a wild plunge on Sir
Excess, and he was quickly made the
favorite, with Assignee second choice.
Dobbins was neglected, except by those
who thought he was not up to his proper
form in his other races. and at the close
Assignee and Sir Excess were about equal
| ly favored. The start was prompt and
good and Assignee took the lead with
| Dobbins racing alongside him. Excess
was getting the mud behind him
and Sleight of Hand soon completely
out of it. AS the turn in the stretch was
reached Sir Excess gave 1t up and then
Dobbins took few long strides and was
soon IN the lead. From that time on ii
| was a procession and Dobbins won in a
common canter from Assignee, with Sir
Excess beaten off. In the Glover stakes
for fillies, Ridicule jumped oft into the
lead at once and the race was never In
danger. Summarizes:
