DIR. RICE WON THE PARKWAY
Brooklyn Handicap Winner Put An
other Race to His Credit.
BANQUET COULDN'T GET THERE
The Dwyer Gelding Flattered His Backers for
Awhile, but the Doctor Always Held Him
Safe-Sirocco Was Favcrite in the Third
Event, but Was Badly Beaten.

New YORK. May ls.-The attendance at the
Gravesend track was again large to-day,
| although there was n slight falling of from
yesterday The chief interest OF the day was
in the promised contest between Clifford and
Dr. Rice at l22 pounds each in the Parkway
handicap at one mile and sixteenth, but, to
the disappointment of all, Clifford was
scratched, leaving Banquet as the chief con-
tender. In view of the smallness Of the field,
the Dwyer gelding was well supported, and
fiattered his hackers for awhile, only to give
up in the end.
Up to the three-quarter polo the four con-
tenders ran nose and tail at a cracking gait,
Blitzen leading the way, with DR.. Rice second,
Banquet third. and Herald last. The mile
was run in 1:41$I, and then Bitten shut up
suddenly and dropped to last place. Banquet
tried hard to overtake DR.. Rice. but could
not, and the latter won a well-run race in
fast time.
The Sly Dance colt won the opening dash
very easily from an ordinary lot, although
whatever chance the Morris filly Monotony
had was spoiled by a wretched start. An Or
binary lot was in the second race. and the ia
vorite, Leonville. won easily enough. Walter
Riggs had no trouble to get the place at long
odds, No tickets were sold on him for the
place in the mutuals.
The favorite. Sirocco, was short race and
was badly beaten in the third race, the victor
turning up in Appomattox. who RAM well
backed by his owner. Fifteen 2-year-olds
started in the fifth race at selling weights, and
20, hnp a.afa ctn ri
was made, with the favorite. Nanki Pooh, in
n good position. Second Attempt led to the
last furlong, but Tamerane and Nanki Pooh
set sail for him. and both passed him with
ease. A few more jumps would have landed
the race for the favorite. but the post was too
near and Tamerane won. Summary:
