New York, Sept. 14-This was the open
ing day at Gravesend and there was a
good attendance drawn by the excellent
card. Hamburg appeared in the prospect
stakes, and was, of course, an odds-on
favorite. He got a moderate start and
went to the front at once, remaining there
to the end and winning in hollow fashion
by couple of lengths. In the Oriental
handicap Requital was a hot favorite,
with Lehman second choice, the latter,
however, being the best backed horse in
the race. Maurice made the running,
with Ben Brush second to the stretch, and
then the latter showed the way. He look
ed all over a winner, when Havoc came
up with rush and in u furious drive
through the last furlong, managed to wear
Ben Brush down and win the race by a
head in the fast time of 2:0S. Summaries:
