 GRAvEsEND, L. l., May 15.-The Brook lyn handicap, the first big turf event of the season, was won at the race track here to day by Dr. Rice, in the fast time of 2:07t.
 Over 40, 900 parsons saw the contest. It was an ideal day for the race. The track was in perfect condition, and there was every prospect of tine record of BOT flat, made by Dry Monopole, being lowered. The enclosure was uncomfortably crowded All the transportation facilities were over taxed, and getting to and from the track was an arduous task.
 The betting ring was 80 crowded that it needed the services of rusher from @ foot ball team to place bet. Ths weather was fine and although the air was over-charged with dust churned up by the cslvacade of vehicles of every description that stretched from Brooklyn to the track all day, every one was happy. The big event was the fourth on the card. It was scheduled to take place at 4 o'clock, but 1t was nearly 5:4S when the flag fell.
 The horses were at the post nearly forty minutes. Break after break occurred, but not one was even enough to warrant their getting the word. Copyright, Herald, Ajax and Comanohe came out to the fur long post fully half dozen times. Copy rights fractious temper was really the chief cause of the delay. Sport. contrary to general expectation, behaved himself we'll tbroughout the ordeal. Comsnche was restive and did considerable buck jumping. Lowlander also gave an exhi- bition of bad tempers He managed to un- seat MeDsrmott and had him on his neck A crowd of several thousand surged around the chute. This made the horsee restive.
 It was decided to open the turn, which had been temporarily closed, and make the start there This was done. A start was finally effected. It looked to be a fair one for all but Low1ander. Martin, however, did not think 1t was start, and Clifford gan to pull up Sport just ss the got the fsg. McDermott make no effort to join the field with Lowlander. He simply can | tered back to the paddock. Clifford and Sport went after the others, but gave up the unequal struggle very soon.
 Copyright was the pacemaker to the first turn. He set clinking pace. Bergen made an effort to draw away from his field | as they neared the far turn, but failed sig nally. Henry of Navarro, who had besn | his nearest attendant all the way, moved | up to him. The instant he was collared Copyright was beaten. Henry of Navarro | D loted the field into the home stretch. Dr. Rice and Sir Walter, who had been in I easy positions and we'll up, ss if with one accord closed on Henry of Navarro as soon ss they were headed for home. A ding dong finish then began. Tsrsl rode Dr. Rice with the strength and energy that have made him famous. He urged him to l the utmost limit of endurance. The game fellow responded to whip and spur to the
 last gasp and finally won a superb race by
 e scant length.
 Henry of Navarro struggled gamely to the last gasp. He lasted long enough to
 beat Sir Walter for the place. Sir Walter
 was really not up to bruising race. The pace began to tell on him. He faltered at
 the critical junoture. The cry "the favor. ite wins" rent the air when Dsggett made his effort with the courageous little fellow. It was premature as Sir Walter was all
 out and really had nothing left with which
 to hnieh.
 Bassetlaw, the imported horse, made [ l creditable showing. He was one of the
 last to leave the post and trailed until they
 began to negotiate the turn for home.
 Then he began to crawl upon the leaders
 He threaded his way through the field at ( great rate and finished fourth. full of run
 ming. His finish was the strongest of tn, lot, as none of the others had nything tt
 spare. Comanche took it into his head tt run when it was too late. Ajax WAS neve once dangerous or prominent. This slst applies to Psnquette, Blitzen, Diablo snt Herald.
 Fred Foster, the owner of Dr. Rice backed the horse heavily on the winte books. His winnings aggregate lift. thousand dollars in addition to the stake | which Is Wortn $So,UUu, eiSnteen thousand , of which goes to Dr. Rice.

 ell The disgruntled pool-room men, who al a determined to enforce the lottery law [ t interpreted by Judge Pryor caused the q
 rest of President P. J. Dwysr and tt d judges dnring the afternoon. The arre 1t 50 far ss Nr. Duyer was concerned was ,, | farce.
