Ten thousand persons saw Ben Brush defeat
Ornament for the Second Special at Qravesend
yesterday afternoon. The race was won handily
by Brush, who led from the opening strides, and
was clearly the better horse yesterday. The
track was slower than usual, soft, dark spots
showing here and there, and the race
was not a pretty one to look at. tho
pace being quite slow for tho first three
furlongs. Ornament gave chase on tho upper
turn and brought Sims to a drive Mt

three-year-old sharply. as though he had been
crossed, and he subsequently claimed q foul,
which was not allowed. tho patrol judge and
