the MAY Hands Down-A HAD Day for the
Hackers OF the FaVorites-DoEEett wins on
Wis Nam~esako-soveu Races Tor To-Day.
Four4housand persons saw some interesting
sport Mt Gravesend yesterday. It was q dis.
astrons day for the players of favoritos, Great
Bend and Cleophus being the only first choices
10 ret home In tho van-Irish Reel, Sagacity,
Free Advice, and Lehman, carrying thousands
fu, tho talent, failing dismally to realize ex-
vrctations. The stake features Of the card, the
Amazon for two-year-old fllies, at half q mile,
and the May, at three-quarters OF q mile, for
three ycar.olds. were won respectively by the
Kcnsico Stables Juda, by Britannia, ont OF inn
ported Judy, and NJ. +. Dryers Cleophus, by
imported Wagner, out Of Linnic. Tho weather.
while still cool, was O delightful change from
the Arctic atmosphere Of Monday, and tho track
was fast enough for Sir Vassar to run a mile
and a furlonR over 1t in l:55A.
EThc crack Thompson Ally, L'Alouette, was
withdrawn in tho Amazon Stakes, sagacity
being deemed Of sufficient class to bag the prize
without much trouble. The handsome daughter
Of Favcrdale and Nell was an odds.on favorito,
Tod Sloan having the mount, and appearing TO
regard the going to- the post as n mere formality.
Taral was up on poda. the neat flly bought this
spring by tho Hensico Stable from II. w.
Walden & Son. Juda was second choice in the
speculation. Juda was first away, while
sagacity was At the tail end of the bunch. Taral
kept the little bay ally right at her work in the
run around tho turn, but Miss Rowena in the
string OF Burns and waterhouse. a winner
IN California, and conceding her field seven
pounds, sprinted around the bunch and led into
tho stretch. Hennessy thought he had the race
won, orf he reckoned without the D%utchman,
who rode one of his cut-and-slash finishes,
which puts a horse on the shelf for, o week.
Tarat got up in time to win by a head. Miss
Rowenab beat Abundant O short length for sec
one. position. William Aston CHAMBERS hand
so me lilly Fayida was a close fourth. Sloan
r1ic a poor race on Sagaoity, getting into a
aumber of pockets on the way. Miss Rowena
was highly spoken of in California, but she was
easily beaten by L'Alouctte, Sagacity, and Ken
more Queen at Morris Park. She is evidently on
the improving list
Cleophus was always a warm favorite for the
May Stakes, closing ut o to 5. Kaiser Ludwig,
salvado. Albanian, and Set Fast were t he most
fancied OF the othhEs. Cleophus took the lead
at once, and simns simply had to steady the big
daughter of WagIaer all the way. Billali, ridden
by the midget O'Connor, was second through
out. Albanian. a soodlooking son of Tristan .
owned by john E. Mcdonald. was third, while
James r. lfeene's Tripping was fourth. Gle
ophps cou' a have run half a second faster had
she been 'frGed; Salyado, Off last and very slow
TO begin, closed up q lot of ground and finished
In the b'inch. There was no bid for Cleophus at
Gree Bend. the brother. to Potomac and
Bran'i wine, was the favorite for the opening
dash for, twoyear-oids at Ave furlongs, as he
nev or having shown ability, to give the Chestnut
COZ fourteen pounds and a beating. Great Bend
