FAVoRIYEs HAD THE CALL
Four First Choices Finished First at
the Grayesend Track.
RAcELAND FAILED TO RUN WELL
An Accident Occurred in the Fifth Race, When
Jockey H. Taylor Fell With His Mount,
and Both Horse and Rider Had Legs
Broken-Attendance Very Good.


Gravesend track was much better than
is usual after big day, and at least 5000 per-
sons were present. The contests were not ex-
citing, as the winners as n rule had little
trouble in winning. One accident marred the
days sport. but few saw it because of the dust.
Twelve two-year- olds were in the fifth race ,and
but eleven finished, as when the bunch were
swinging around the upper turn Dryers colt
Martyr fell and carried his jockey with him.
H. Taylor, who rode the colt. had his leg
broken, and the colts leg was broken rs well.
There was ripple of excitement after the
race for the Myrtle stakes was run, as the
three judges, Smith, Mcdowell. and Simmons,
who were arrested yesterday, were again ar
rested by Sheriff Buttling and taken to
the Gravesend town hail. where they were
bailed in $4,000, and got back in time to
place the horses in the fifth event. John
Hunter, chairman of the board of stewards Of
the Jockey club, was also arrested and released
on bail in the same amount. A warrant had
been prepared fer the arrest of ]. G. X. Law
renee, president of the Coney Island Jockey
Club. but he was not at the track to-day, and
the sheriff was told that he would be present
at the hearing before Justice yorhis at
Gravesend tomorrow.
The result of the first race seemed to be
foregone conclusion according to the book
makers. and Gotham won with RIDICULOUS
ease. He is by far the best two-year-ola seen
out this year. Don Alonzo picked up the
top weight in the second race and had no
trouble whatever to win. Will FoDZo was the
best of the lot in the third race, and for the
third time the favorte won. The talent fell
heavily in the Myrtle stakes. for the rank out
slider won easily. Raceland running badly.
Another favorite won in the fifth race when
the Yum Yum colt was the first past the wire
in a common canter. and in the last race the
favorite, Pickpocket, sulked, and Stowaway
beat him in the stretch.
After the races were over Sheriff Buttling
was hunting for four bookmakers for whom
he had warrants, but it was like looking for a
needle in haystack at that time sum-
