In the last inning Mullaney got angry

il WAS A G ND RACE.

NEW YORK, June 2.-Ethelbert easily
defeated Jean Beraud in the special race
at Grayesend to-day. He was ridden ny
Danny N1aher, and was the favorite in the
betting. The time was Eos 10 Tor the
mile and a quarter. His performance Oh
to-day was good enough to beat that OF
any horse that was ever saddled in this
country.
Naher had waiting orders and laid along
side his rival. until they were half a mile
from home, when he drew out and opened
a big gap in q. few strides. and then came
home as he pleased, under double wraps,
with his head sideways, ten lengths in
front.
Those magnificent specimens Of horse
flesh got away on the instant and came
down the stretch, which was a living wall
of humanity, moving stride for stride on
exactly level terms, nose to nose and tail
to tail. The first quarter was in :2S 40
seconds, not slow going when the weight
is considered.
STRIDE FOR STRIDE.
When they Strengthened out in the back
stretch, they were still running stride for
stride, neither appearing to have the least
advantage, and the half was passed in AS
seconds.
Maher gave Ethelbert a trife more rein,
and he began to move q. little faster than
before Now they were coming to the
pole which marked half the journey, and
in another instant they had passed it in
Leo 2-5, splendid time. In the next fur
long it became apparent that Jean Beraud
had got the gad as, inch by inch, at first,
then foot by foot, and then stride by
stride. Ethelbert began to set away from
his rival. The time to the three quarters
was 1:03 IL. and as far as Jean Eeraud
was concerned, ne had little more interest
in the race.
Around the upper turn to the stretch, 1T
was Ethelbert first and the other nowhere;
for in a few great bounds, with Maher
sitting still on his back, he na<l coened
gap of a dozen lengths, while Jean Beraud
was foundering in distress, a badly beaten
horse. Maher did not look back. however
