RACE TRACK, GRAVESEND, Sept
H.-The card here to-day was most at
tractive. yet very few people put in an
appearance. Compared with other meet
ings this one can hardly be called a suo-
cess financially.
The racing has been high class how
ever. but for some reason the crowds do
not attend as at other courses The
bad weather is always a handicap to
the Brooklyn meetings. and the Associa-
ton seems particularly unfortunate In
its dates.
The weather was perfect for racing
purposes. and the track was in excel
lent shape.
The opening race was for two-year-
olds, and the smart people thought that
because Littieheld was on Owlet. Com
brother. would be 7 sure winner: Their
suspicious proved unfounded. for.
though Connoisseur was strong favor
ite. 0wlet won with ease. Cohnoisseur
he secured that position only through
the kindness OF the judges. who, per-
haps, did not care to see favorite I'M
placed; Roundelay appeared to be third
beyond question. Kennel was second,
finishing strong.
saragossa, SECOND choice in the sec
qualified for fouling Banquet, the IA
vorite. Saragossa swung wide at the
head OF the stretch, and Sims tried to
send Banquet through. Saragossa bore
in on the Dwyer horse and Littlefield
could not keep. him Off The result was
that Banquet had to pull up short.
The Stewards disqualified Saragossa
boys. Jodan was placed second, and the
small bettors were nightly pleased at
the result.
The third race resulted in a very
pretty finish between two outsiders and
the favorite, Figaro. The latter was
well played and John Cooper, second
choice, also had considerable backing.
] The latter essayed to make the pace,
with Flora Thornton. Is 10 chance:
The latter went to the front at the
head OF the stretch and, successfully
stalling OF the rush made by Declare
beat the favorite the same distance.
Declare was lame and this accounted
for the price against him.
