GRAVESEND RACE-TRACK, May o.
A large crowd was attracted 70 the track
to-day by the programme which was pre-
scented. 1t was grand day for the
snort, the weather being clear ana pleas
ant. The track, though wet underneath
was dry upon the surface, ana was
everything considered in good shape. Ihe
talent met with defeat after defeat to-
day, only one fayOrite winning.
Among the interesting events on the
card were the fremont stakes ana the
Fort Hamilton handicap. In the former
event the Iroquois colt Gotham somewhat
redeemed his reputation and was landed
an easy winner by snapper Garrison
Walter, who defeated Gotham a few
DAYS ago, it was said on account OF
sticky track, practically set the pace
but AT the last furlong post Garrison gave
Gotham his head and passed Walter as
though he were standing still.
one of the surprises Of the day was the
winning of the Fort Hamilton handicap
by John Cooper, a 2O-to-l shot. Cohslder-
able money had been placed on Henry Oh
Navarro, but DobbinS was the 1aNOr'e
at odds of 10 g. John Cooper ana Henry
of Navarro raced neck and neck down the
home stretch, but just after the last lur-
long post had been passed 1t was seen
that the latter was ridden out, ana ne
barely got second place from Hornpipe'
