Tho glorious Juno weather and the presence
Of two interesting stake events on the Brooklyn
Jockey Clubs card attracted a typical mid
summer gathering to tao Gravesend track yes-
terday. The nrst OF tho fixed events was the
Manhanset of $1,000, for two-yoar-olds, over
tho four and a half furlong course. The field
was reduced to u quartet by tho withdrawal
of Rusher and Tyrba, and Kingdom was at once
made q prohibitivo ~fhvorite at 2 to 3. Sixteen to
b was on offer against Counsellor Weinberg,
and the fortunate ones who backed the Sir Mo
bred colt had little occasion TO worry, as the
Counsellor took the lead from Lnrva In the FIRST
sixteenth, and led by q margin ranging from
three lenEthsat tho half distance to two lengths
at the finish. Kingdom settled down In fourth
position, and only caught Miller turning for
home. He then shook Off the Hindoo colt and
captured the place by three lengths. LarvR
was beaten of.
Thoro was n much better race for tho Falcon
Stakes, q battle among tho three-year-olds ovor

wide open by the withdrawal of Sly Fox. and Sir
Gawain also declined to contest, leaving six to
