GRIFFIN RODE A POOR RACE
Henry of Navarro Mas Defeated By
Don Alonzo At GrayeSend.
SINS HANDLED HIS MOUNT.NELL
Track Was Sloppy, but the Time Made in the
Several Races Was Much Better Than Ex-
pected-0nly One Pronounced Favorite
Succeeded In Crossing the Line First.

New YORK, May 21.-In spite OF the rain
and the gale that was blowing from the north
east at least 5000 people were at the Grave
send track to-day The track was sloppy,
but much better than it looked. There was
but one stake on the card, the Standard. and
although several were colored on the pro-
gramme all but two declined the issue.
On the strength of his good race in the
Brooklyn handicap. Henry OF Navarro was
strong odds on favorites. and Don Alonzo
made such poor showing against Ed Kear-
ney that he was almost friendless.
When the flag fell they sailed along together
with Don Alonzo on the rail, and to the sur
prise of everybody the three-year-old made
no attempt to get the rail. Griffin should
have known that the big colt would carry him
out at the turns, and that was the result.
Don Alonzo ran all the way with his mouth
open, aud when they swung into the stretch
the three-year-old was carried out SO far that
he had no chance whatever. Don Alonzo won
easily under a strong pull. Results:
