RUNS OF THE RACERS.
A 90 to Shot Surprises the Talent at
Brighton Beach.

Brighton Beach.
Brighton Beach Race Track, n. J., July
1S.-The programme here to-day was
fairly good. Things looked temptingly
easy for the talent, and they were out in
strong farce il consequence. The first
race went to the faithful, and, EN- boldened
by their success, they surged into the
ring and bet heavily on Figaro for the
winner of the second event, but their sur
prise was great when Dutch Skater, 20 to
l, won, beating Stonellie, on whom similar
odds had been placed, by head. The
best the favorite could do was to finish
third
The hackers of favorites were soon in
line again, however, and Harry Reed in
the third and Arab in the fifth replen-
ished their pockets to some extent.
DStonenell was backed heavily in the
fourth event, but the talent went wrong
again, for Lady Violet, 3 to /, carried off
the honors and raked in the largest purse
of the day.
Though Woodford was lukewarm sec
ond choice in the steeple chase, consider
able was put on him on the quiet and he
won and evened matters between the tai
ent and bookies.
