A TRUCE AT GRAvEsEND.
n ostilities Suspended Until Monday.
A Summary of the Races.


New York, May 1.-THE fact that hos
tilities have ceased for the time being, at
least, between Peter DeLacey and Philip
Dwyer, a truce having been declared
until Monday was welcome news to-day
at the Gravesend race track, and
matters went along comparatively smooth
An excellent card was presented to the
talent. Though the sky was cloudy,
with every appearance of rain, fully ten
thousands persons were present when the
flag fell on the first race, which was won
by Miss Maude, the favorite, by a scant
head. The Amazon stakes, for 2-year-old
tillies, and the Preakness stakes, for
3-year-olds, were the features of the pro-
gramme. II took Starter Rowe twenty
six minutes to dispatch the field in the
former race. The start was a poor one,
and the race was won by Ridicule
with great ease. The Preakness
stakes went to Assignee, after a
gruelling drive with Potentate and Ed
kearney, who finished in the order
named. Counter Tenor, Brewer Rup-
perts great 2-year-old, made his appear
ance in the fifth race to-day. He got off
absolutely last, but he rushed through his
field with great speed, and taking the
lead, remained there to the end, winning
quite easily. Summaries follow:

THE EVENTS AT LOUISVILLE.
Louisville, KY, May IA good card
and fine weather brought out crowd of
about $500 people at the Downs to-day.
The track was fast and the sport fine.
Col. Clark said to-day, If the meeting con-
tinued as it had begun he would consider
it one of the most successful meetings in
recent years.
The principal event to-day was the Del
beck stake, and it was won in driving
finish by the favorite, Ida Pickwick, by
two lengths. Addie Buchanan, a six to
one shot, won the fourth race in a hot
finish

trouble in getting the horses off in the
fifth race, as they acted very ugly at the
post. Sellila kicked the Prince of Dark
ness on the left side before they got away,

did not fare very well, only two fayorites
winning. Summaries follow:
