A True RACE AND WELL WON.

New YORK. May ia better day
could not have been desired for the
opening Of the racing season in New
York state and the running of the great
Brooklyn handicap, valued at $4,000,
at the Gravesend track today. The sun
rose with clear sky, belying the
promise of the night before, and the air
was as clear as a bell. and warm
breeze swept across the track.
At , O'clock the horses named for the
first race were hoisted OH the bulletin
board, and the 1l2 bookmakerS, three
more than the best on record, began
chaliing up the odds. Out on the lawn,
when the race was called, there was
sea of heads, their owners packed so
closely together that it looked like
solid mass, and Others were struggling
to get out of the ring, where they could
see a small part of the race. 1t was
estimated then by gooi judges that at
least 10000 people we're present, and
many were returning home, unable to
get anywhere near the track. 1t was
the biggest day in the history of the
Brooklyn Jockey club, and must have
been an immense money-geiter. for
nearly all paid for their admission. the
passes of former years having been re-
duced by at least IS per cent. The
NJ Il
pf whom got in
WITHOUT PAYING.
Just before the third race was run
Delacey again made his appearance.
This time he was in greater force. for
Sheriff Buttling, with host of deputies,
came on with warrants which were
likely to take him the whole afternoon
10 serve. The sheriff and his deputies
went into the judges stand enclosure,
and had talk with President DWyer
and Secretary Mcintyre, but the two
latter refused to state the object of the
visit. 1t was apparent. however, i'm
mediateIy after the race was run, for
the judges, Col. Simmons, Clarence Nc
Dowell and Victor Smith, were arrested
Immediately after they placed the horses
in the third race, and, in company with
John NJ. Bowers, counsel to the club,
and Senator Mccarthy, were driven to
the town hall in Gravesend, where bail
was given, and they were released after
some delay had been caused to the
Brooklyn handicap. Sheriff Buttling
had other warrants, and it was said
that he intended to arrest the other Off
cialS, but rested content with the arrest
of the three judges. and went away
from the track. An effort was made to
discover the character of the affidavit
on which the warrants were issued, but
further than an unofficial statement
that it was for conducting lottery,
nothing was learned. During the rest
of the day there was little excitement,
and the races proceeded without delay.
When the time came for the handicap
it. seemed impossible to get another
person
INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE.
From one end to the other of the big
grand stand men and women were
packed together like sardines, and not
more than one-half of them could by
any possibility see thing of the con-
test. The lawn and the brick walk in
front of the stand was a solid mass of
people.
1t was only few minutes past when
the candidates for the $4,000 stake be =
gan to move up in the chute from the
paddock.
When the horses were all at the post
the spectators settled down for long
wait, for Starter Rowe had not been
doing any better thus far than he did
almost at his worst last year. Thirty-two
long minutes the assemblage waited
and fumed. and then Immediately after
short break Rowe dropped his flag,
swished it through the air and the start
was made. And such start it was.
Lowlander. the winner of last years
Suburban, was standing still, and did
not get away at all, while Clifford, the
heavily backed favorite, seemed to be
practically left at the post.
A howl arose from the crowd. for they
saw that with such disadvantage il
was impossible for the Western cham
pion to do any thing whatever. Copy
