New YORK, May 19.-The Gravescnd tract
to-day was sloppy, and when the racing be
gan it was raining slightly, although 4
cleared Off nicely soon after In spite OF thu
weather conditions at least 10000 people
were present, and they were well paid fol
their trouble, as the finishes were, as rule
close, sharp, and exciting. In three race.
the contest was in doubt until the last jump
and heads apart was the order of the day.
Two stakes were down to be run of. ant
the first was the Hudson, for two-year-olds
and only three tried conclusions without ths
support crack in the mud. As soon as tht
flag fell for the start Gotham jumped into
lead and from that on in gallop.
Then came the Carlton for three-year-old.
at a mile, and Hornpipe and Halton were
about equal favorites. The latter was not in
the race. however, from the start. After sew
eral trials the five contestants were sent
away to beautiful start, and turning into
the backstretch Hornpipe assumed the lead.
Dobbins held along in the third place until
the colts came into the stretch, when he chal-
lenged Hornpipe. and a three furlong drive
ensued. Neck and neck they rushed through
the stretch, but Hornpipe came in a winner
by Il head. Dobbins was a little Short but
when he next starts he will be ready to run
for his life.
The fifth race was much the best Of the day.
1t was a handicap at n mile and a furlong,
and Ajax, with ia pounds up, was O favor
lite. He fiattered his hackers by assuming
the lead at once and stood there until the
three-quarter pole was reached, when he shot
up like knife. Then Pickpocket who had
been sulking, began to join the leaders, and
into the stretch the order was Ramapo, Stow
away, Pickpocket. The Iast-named came
fas. in the last sixteenth and got the place
from Stowaway by a nose, while Ramapo only
won by short half length.
Ed. Kearncy surprised Mr.. Dwyer by beat
ing Don Alonzo in the first race, and the
favorite. Hoey, got the second with ease. 1t
cost Lakeland Il 300 to retain Hoey, for he
was bid up to that amount. The favorites
were nowhere in the sixth race. as outsiders
ran one, two, three, and selling platers, as
usual, wound up good days sport.
