Dante evidently visited some place nearly APP
preaching the Brighton Beach racetrack In the
! intensity of its heat and the variety of its smells
/ to which the fumes OF sulphur sweet per-
! fume. There not a breath Of air stirring In the
! grand-stand betting Enclosure yesterday. The
! humidity great that even a. j. Joyner's
yell failed to penetrate 1t when Lady Violet defeated
Stonenell. In spite of all the dlscomforts that the
| patrons OF Brighton Beach are compelled to sub
| nit to- at least 5000 persons steamed and simmered
! for nearly five hours to witness six moderate races
The jockeys at Brighton Beach should be more
considerate and not draw their finishes too hne
as they are likely to strain the Judges eyes. There
was no dead heats yesterday, although there were
three close decisions There were many smiles and
winks among the Brighton horse-owners when 1t
was known that Hawthorne was admitted to the
! Turf Congress and that Edward Corrgan would
be present at the future meetings OF that body

4track could answer II satisfactorily.
James Shields and several others caused the COM
! hnatIon bookmakors to weep bitter tears and TO
| cause the persons who DO that sort OF betting to
| shout with Joy. Shields won $500 with So and the
| others won smaller amounts. 1t IS said that the
| combination men were assured that Arab would
be Withdrawn from the fifth race. Heavy betting
