NEW YORK, May 13.-After the great
crowd OF yesterday, Morris Park looked de-
serted at the steeplechase racing to-day. for
not more than 1900 people were present to
watch the jumpers. There was some good
sport, however, and, while the finishes were
not close, there was much doubt throughout
the races, and the favorites generally were
beaten. In the first event Marble was the
choice, although there was strong tip on
Poteen. Marble led for half mile, and then
gave it UP to the two representatives of the
Goughacres stable. and they ran first and
second, Poteen winning easily. Kilkenny
was the choice in the second race but he
was unfit, and was never in it. 1t was an
interesting contest, for all jumped well. Each
OF the five, excepting the favorite, took turns
to the front, followed by Sayonara, and thus
they finished, HelIas pulled 10 walk six
