RACING IN THE MUD.
Grevesend Track Very Heavy, but
fha Runnirr- Good

the Running Good.
/ New York, May 19.-On account of oc-
/ casional transforms all day, the attend
/ ance at the Gravesend race track was
not as large as expected. A fair sized
crowd was present, however. The
heavy track caused a good deal of
scratching, and somewhat marred the
excellent original card but enough
/ horses remained to give a good days
sport. The features of the day were the
/ Hudson stakes for 2-year-Olds, and the
Carleton stakes for 3-year-olds. Gotham,
Col, Rupperts crack colt, won the Hud-
son in a gallOp, and in fast time, consid-
erlng the condition of the track. There
was nothing in the race to make him ex-
ert himself, and his victory was of the
most hollow kind.
The Carleton stakes resolved itself into
/ duel between those grand 9-Year olds,
Hornpipe and Dobbins. The former won,
but only after the hardest kind of a
I drive through the entire home stretch.
The surprise of the day occurred in the
opening event, when Ed Kearney defeated
the favorite, Don Alonzo, quite hsndily.
The Don, however, was ridden with poor
judgment. Three favorites and an out
slider gathered in the other four races
