weather and the Saturday half holiday
were the means Of bringing large mum
Der of persons to the Brighton Beach race
track to-day. The course was in splendid
shape Numerous scratches had reduced
an admirable programme to mediocrity
The betting was brisk. The talent were
very victorious at first, DR. Garnett, a
warm favorite, and Robusta, the second
choice, securing first and second places
respectively.
In the second race, however, Golden
Edl4ey, 81 10 I'ShoC, neat George Dixon,
the favorite, at TO 2, by length and a
half, and First Light, a 10 to ! outsider,
did the unexpected in the third.
The fourth and fifth races were also
dumps, and steeplechase racing is so IN

little of their lost coin by the victory Of
st. Anthony in the sixth.
