NEW YORK, May H.--In spite of the
threatening weather the attendance at
Gravesend track was fully as large as
that of yesterday, at least 5000 being
present. But one arrest was made. and
that was simply on another warrant, a
truce between De Lacey and the club
having been declared an Monday. In the
first race the horses were sent away to a
poor start. Kentigoion, Miss Maud and
De Fargilla were the only ones who were
seriously considered. and the first named
led to the last furlong, when Hamilton
came up with rush and wore Kenti-
goion's lead down inch by inch, winning
finally by head in the finest contest of
the day. Comanche was the favorite in
the second, winning with a good deal to
spare. In the filly race Ridicule, without
effort and from a bad start, won.
The Preakness stake was easily won by
Assignee from the favorite, Potentate. In
