TOUGH TOM CROMWELL.
FLoGGED ALI THE war, HE BEATS
A GOOD FIELD.

Brighton MeetinE-Pansover. Benares. Troi-

lowering weather kept the attendance at q
much lower mark than usual at Brighton Beach
yesterday afternoon, but still there was a goodly
crowd In attendance to see the final days pro-
gramme run of over a very fast track. There
were no stakes on tho card, but tho six events
filled we'll, and tho handicap at a mile and q six
teenth was o particularly good contest from
start to finish. tho entire Geld Of seven fighting
for the mastery nearly all the way. NJ. b.
Dryers whalebone thoroughbred, Tom Crom-
well, won by o short head from Peep o. Day,
who beat the favorite only o few inches, in the
very fast time of 1:47-a new record for tho
track and distance. Rensselaer, was conceding
big Jumps OF weight to all his opponents, and
his performance was a splendid one. He had
TO run around his field on tho upper turn or he
would certainly have won handily.
The sport began with a big field Of three year
olds and upward that had not won during the
meeting. Double Quick was tho favorite, but
Philip Dryers Passover, getting away we'll.
made all the running and beat Rotterdam a
short head. Dorian, ridden by John McCafferty,
was tho good thing Of the race, but the six-year-
old was crowded when McCafferty tried to
squeeze through next the rail at tho head of the
stretch, and 1t was just too much Of an effort to
pull up and go round on the outside. Dorian
was third at Rotterdam's throatlatch. The
woll-played Parmesan broke down badly in both
forelegs and has probably raced for tho last
time. Since starting at New Orleans, a year
ago last January, Parmesa has raced continue
ously winter and summer.
Benares was the choice for the second, a dash
at six furlongs for two.year-olds, and, well han
died by White. the son Of Hindoo won without
punishment. Glenoine, at odds OF z to l, was
second, and the second choice. Brier Hill. third.
Trolley. with n reputation for phenomenal
speed. made her first appearance In this vicinity
In the third race, a dash at Ave furlongs. She
was favorite at odds on, and won by a nose from
Tallahassee, thanks to the grand riding OF
Lonny Clayton, who hustled her from start to
finish. Takanassees performance was a big
Improvement over her last appearance. City
was a good third. beating the 80 TO l chance,
Summer Sea, a head.
Tho fourth race was Tom Cromwell's. Tho
field originally consisted Of fourteen candidates,
but the pencil went through the names Of Leh-
man, Skate, Storm King and other good ones.
Seven wore still on the card, and the talent
