BRIGHTON'S POOR LUCK.
RAIN AGAIN sERIOUsIY INTER-
Es nth THE RACING.

AhNA
Respectively How the Races Resulted.
The storm was by far the most spectacular
feature Of the afternoon at Brighton Beach yes
terday. 1t was exceedingly picturesque, but not
at all welcomed by President Engcman, Secre-
tary Sass, and the balance Of the management:
but II came, nevertheless, and tore through tho
hugo grand stand until the women were uriVeh
to tho topmost rows Of seats to escape the pima
ing rain. Brighton Beach has had more than its
share of bad weather this season, ana IL mas
raincd every day but one since the gates were
opened two weeks ago. When the sport began
yesterday there was scarcely q cloud In the
sky, but as tho afternoon wore on great DARK
masses rolled in from the direction of Staten
Island, and the rain came down In torrents after
the fourth race. The wind attained a velocity
of sixty miles, and the Jockeys and horses in the
nfth race were scarcely distinguishable to tho
Judges. Everybody had hoped for n fine day
and n good track to-day for the purpose Of SEQ
ing tho great three-year-old Voter pick up 132
pounds In the Cyclone Handicap, but there Is
no hope of a fast or oven n dry track to-day.
The most decided setback tho talent received
yesterday was In the selling race at one milo
and a furlong, for which Ben Elder was a strong
odds-on favorite. There were but four starters
after Bellport, Dccrslayer. st. Lee, Lincoln H..
Loeb Glyn, and Premier were withdrawn, and

with 8 to 1 offered about Refugee and IL to 1
Arabian. Little O'Connor had the mount on
Arabian, and, rushing the DAILY three
year.old into the lead, passing round the
lower turn, kept him there until he
ruptured q small blood vessel and commenced
bleeding at the nose. Then Sims took up tho
running with Ben Elder. and the %plungers began
to congratulate themselves upon a certain vic
tory. Young Clawson had. however. been play
ing 'possum with Wolhurst, and when well
squared away for home he cut loose. Wolhurst
made short work OF Bon Eder. and won handily
In the good time of 1857. Refugee was third.
Ton sprinters went to the post in the opening
event at six furlongs, with Double Quick favor
ite at Z to g.. The victory went to Triiette, rid.
den by Doggett, who came very fast in the final
quarter. and beat Double Quick a length and q
half. Purseproud. a rank outsider. was third. a
short head before Bon Ami. Henry Shields, who
rode S%andowne, was fined 800 by the stewards
for fonling Double Quick. Somebody bet a lot
