Poor Gard and threatening
Weather at Brighton Beach.

one race on the card which promised
anything like good contest, and only
four were in that to start with While
the horse which was expected
TO give Charade an argument.
Herald. was declared cut early
in the day, leaving only Mary
Stone and Laurel to run against
high-class animal. When the flag fell
Laurel too the lead and continued to the
turn into the stretch, where she was
passed by Mary Stone. In the last six
teenth Charade came up under the whip
and beat both out.
Merry Duke was the favorite in the
opening race and won.
Jersey Belle was the choice in the sec
oud race with Half Mine second choice,
but she could do. no better than third
while Half Mine won, with Wilnar Sec
ond.
A lot of no account 2-year-olds were
seen in the third race, and they were
some time at the post before they got
| away, which they finally did 70 an ex-
cellent start. Red Top made all the run
| ming and got the first place, with Van
brunt second by a short nose from the
Pauline, got into pockets and generally
ran poorly.

from Watterson.
in the sixth race Rohusta, the favorite
fell a victim TO DIR. Garnett.

failed to 20 down. Liza had been the IA
vorite, but when the horses went to the
