Electric Handicap-The Devil Outruns
Bannockburn-A Fine for Jockey Tnral.
The racing at Brighton Beach yesterday was
siRnalized by a financial landslide in which all
but one OF the favorites we're smothered. The
sole survivor bore the suggestive title. Flower

hung on with Prejudice to the turn for home.

mount again opened favorite. but no one
