GOOD SPORT AT BRIGHTON.
RUBfCON PICKS UP 13S POUNDS
AND WINS THE FLIGHE

terday's racing and the crowd In attenuhhoo oro
q criterion, fully 6,0oo persons witnessing some
splendid sport. George Z Smiths good siK-year-
old Rubicon won the feature Of tho day, the
Flight Handicap. at nvo f~urlongs. after q stir
ring finish with the three-yoar-old Storm King.
Rubicon carried 1913 pounds, and covered the
distance In the remarkably fast time of 1:ol%.
The other events were splendidly contested, not
ably the milo and q quarter race, when Lehman,
Lincoln H., Lobengula, and Dutch Skater were
punched at the wire.
There were nine starters for the Flight Handi-
cap, and Of this number there were several
VIGOROUSLY bad actors, among thom Tromargo
and Zanone. Rubicon was always favorito, tho
ruling quotation being even money. Although
the horse has been the property OF Pittsburg
Phil for almost Q year. and has won a number OF
good races since passing out OF John Il. Mo
Donald's hands, yesterday was said to be the
first occasion on which he carried q heavy
commission for tho youngest OF tho plung-
ers. There were liberal odds against any
Of the other starters, Casseopia being second
choice at 4 to 1, while 20 to / was an ofer
about the chances Of B~randywine, Storm King,
Billali. and Tremargo. As was expected. there
was a long delay OF the post. Tremargo dancing
and kicking like q crazy horse. Whenever no
was ready to go It was either Abuse or Ianone or
both Of thcm that spoiled q start. At length by
great fortune the lot were caught together and
secured q splendid start. Tremargo and Zanone,
both VIGOROUSLY fast breakers. soon showed In
front and at the furlong pole they wero well In
advance OF their field. Schorrer got Rubicon of
we'll, but did not hustle or hurry tho favorite
