race of the day at Gravesend was the
| Preakness stakes. Bonn bazette led the
last mile, when April Fool went ahead.
In second or two Mirage and Kennett
caught him, and the rest of the way it was
bruising contest, in which Taral saw an
opening next to the rail, and taking des-
perate chances, he managed to force his
way through by the hardest kind of riding,
! landing Belmar a winner by a length.
There was close finish between Buckrene
and Prig in the second race, and an eighth
of mile from home Prig managed to poke
! his nose in front of the favorite. Reiff got
| to work in real earnest and won by the
| shortest of heads, cleverlv outriding Penn,
who was on the Morris horse. 1t was ex-
pected that the fifth race would be the best
of the day. Rey ell Santa Anita was very

quarter, when keenan, won by length.

piled to the jockey club for license, and
