Mrs. Jerc Dunn's smart flly Sunny Slope, by
Esher, out of Meta. by onondaga, won tho
Nautilus Stakes at Brighton Beach yesterday
afternoon, with tho Kenslco Stables bay colt
Azure. by Pleyna, second, and L. s. & w. p.
Thompson's Fireside third. Payment OF the
stake, which was worth 81, 800 to the winner,
was protested by the Kensico Stables on tho
ground that Sunny Slope did not carry her
proper weight, tho ally having to her credit
a race OF tho value Of 81 ,425 last year, ac-
cording to "Goodwin's Guide" The Stewards OF
the Brighton Beach Racing Association will
meet this morning at 10 o'clock and take testi-
mony in the matter. Tho deluge of Monday
night and yesterday played havoc with tho
track, and the horses ran through deep mud.
There were no Academia, fortunately. although
a number Of horses stumbled during their Jour
ney. Tho oxecrablo weather kept a great many
persons at home and caused numerous with
drawals in many Of the events.
There were but four starters for the Nautilus
Stakes, Rensselaer, and other good performers
being withdrawn. Azure and Haphasard were
added at the last moment. The Brookdale hlly
Fireside, with q tremendous pull In the weights,
was made favorite for the race, but Sunny Slope
was the only one in It from the start. At flag
fail white took the pretty flly out in front
and she opened mp such q gap that mono Of the
Others could approach her. Haphazard didn't
appear to relish tho slushy footing and Firesids
wasn't able to keep near Sunny Slope or Azure.
Doggett, who Is in q run of bad luck, rode the
latter hard In the endeavor to overhaul the
leaders. but Sunny Slope won galloping. Fire
