II was n most unsatisfactory days sport az
Gravesend yesterday, and the 1000 persons
who spent the afternoon there probably came to
the conclusion before nightfal that they might
better have remained in town, as winners were
hard 10 pick, and there was n dazzling case Of
in-nnd-out running that made tho regulars
wonder what chance they had to beat the game.
The rain fell incessantly. and tho track was
fetlock deep In mud.
The race which gnvo the most dissatisfaction
TO the talent was the second. at one mile and
sixteenth, for which Live oak was an odds-on
fsvorite the son Of Linden having as opponents
Hornpipe and Flora Thornton. Hornppe had
performed so badly In the mud on two occasions
recently that the regular members of the talent
could not see how he mad a chance to beat Live
Oak, who had disposed OF Buckrene during the
early part Of the meeting when the track was
In much the same condition as IL was yes
terday. Readers Of the srS will recall how
Hornpipe was beaten of In one OF his
races not more than ten days ago, the Messrs.
Keene asking the stewards ut the time TO look

upon the track and ridden trial by John Lamly.
Tho best that jockey could do with him

going six furongs. and leaving Flora Thornton

Tho time for the race 1: :52 shows that II was a
very fair performance. Nobody with any COM
mon sense will accuse the Messrs. Keene Of any
jugglery with their horses. They do not bet on
them, and their performances have In the main
been most consistent. Mr.. Foxhall Keene was
at the track yesterday, and after the race paid
visit to the stewards stand. lie said in CONVEX
sation with n Sun reporter:
Lakeland worked Kornpipe with Domino
few days ago, and he could fairly fly. II is hard
IN account for his in-and-out performances but
] think that he is one OF those horses that will
not do their best for light boy, and that IIanil-
ton succeeded In getting much more out Of him
than Isom or Richardson, who rode him In his
recent races. | think. too, that the colts feet
may be a little sore and that the sloppy going
to-day Just suited him."
The Improvement In Hornpipes running and
Live Oaks falling OF In speed and staying pow

the uncertainty of the sport, and indicates that
the greatest Of care should be exercised by the |
authorities In the investigation OF in-and-out |
performances. IL WIS pleaded for Live Oak |
