CHIEF Plum At G~RAVESEND.

the post at . to 1 on, while Irish Reel, with
Sloan up, was quoted at 5 to 2. Tho F1oisch-
mann mare got away we'll and led her fold by
an open length to the stretch. Zanone ran next
for half the distance. but Sims brought Cleophus
up In tho run home. He had to put up q des-
perato ride to reach Irish Reel, and the speedy
pair had a sensational struggle from the last
pole home. Irish Reel held her own up to the
last few strides, whom Sims lifted his mount in
grand style and won by a short head. Hanone
was a prominent contender throughout, and
only missed the place by a head, while Van
Antwerp was equally close up.

Gazellc Stakes of $3, 900, for three-year.old hllics.

top-heavy favorito at 3 too. Tho second choice.
