The brothers Belmont, oliver Hazard Perry
and ex-Congressman Perry, saw their colts
Brandywine and Magian have a most desper-
ately fought battle for the rich Dunmow Stakes
st Morris Park yesterday. For more than three
furlongs the struggle was sustained, and II was
only in the final strides that Msgian won by
short head. Both colts are representatives of
the strains Of blood which made the late Hon.
August Bemonts colors 90 prominent during the
latter years Of his turf career Magian, the win
ner, being son Of imported The Ill Used and Mr..
Belmont's favorite mare Magnetism, while
Brandywine Is q brother 10 Potomac, the superb
chestnut which won the Futurity number of
years ago. Upon that occasion Washer, full
brother TO Magian, was second to the son OF st.
Blaise and Susquehanna, go that the descend

the Belmont brothers, August, was second in
the other stake event, the First Three-year-old
serial Handicap at five furlongs, his colt Jack
Of Spades beating all but the light weight Black
Hawk, against whose chances as much as 400 to
1 was laid by daring bookmakers.
