New York, June 1O.--There was heavy
track at Gravesend to-day, and the show
ers which came occasionally did not i'm
prove the going. The attendance was
fairly good, but not as heavy as might
have been looked for on Derby day.
The chief event of the day was the Brook
lyn Derby, at mile and a quarter. for
3-year-olds, and six went to the post, with
Scottish Cheftain, winner of the Belmont,
as the favorite. The Belmont pair, Octa-
gon and Don dc ORC, were second choice,
and Buddha, third in favoritism. The bet
ting was heavy, and the bulk of the
money was on Scottish Chieftain. The de-
lay was slight at the post, and they got
away in good order, Octagon showing the
way past the grand stand for the first
time. Dul all were uiiutA tllph4ii5 puAA9s 40
they rounded into the back stretch they
were well punched, with the exception Of
Octagon, who was running free in front
of the others AT the upper turn Thorpe
made a play with Draw Lad and got into
second place, but the effort was his last,
and he slowly dropped back to the rear
and was soon Joined by The Friar and
Scottish Chieftain, neither seeming to
care for the going. AS they came into the
stretch Don de ORC moved up into second
place to his stable mate, Octagon, their
positions in the Carlton stakes Of a week
ago being reversed. Doggett then began
to urge Buddha, who had been tagging, but
the best he could do was ding-dOng fin
ish for second money, which he got by a
nose on the post, Octagon winning easily.
