RUNS OF THE RACERS.
Small Fields and Small Crowds at
Brighton Beach.

Brighton Beach Race Track, July 10
The weather was very warm here to-day
and there were not more than 1000 spec
tators of the days sport. The card was
not brilliant one, some of the fields be-
ing quite small, which kept the talent
guessing. In the first race, the talent
was quite at sea, one division favOring
! War Bonnet and ithe other Indra. The
latter won, but the placing of the other
horses in this race by Judge Wheeler
was considered remarkable.
Avon and Half Mine were having a
head and head fight on rail and War
Bonnet was length away. The Judge
placed War Bonnet second and Avon
third. EThe crowd was so dumfOunded
that not sound could be heard any
where. Every one thought that the judge
would correct his error, and when he did
not the crowd gave vent to their dissent
and murmurings could be heard on every
hand.
Jockey Doggett also won the second
race with Sir Knight, defeating the odds
on favorite, Lazzarone, and brought
South Side in a winner in the third event,
| making his victories three straight.
The largest purse offered to-day was
won by Banquet, who gallOped home an
easy winner from Lizzie, 10 TO shot.

sold for S5,005 to NJ. F. Dryer, the only
