ETHELBERT BADLY BEATEN

New York, July 7.-Jack Point, with 119 pounds up, ran the mile and a quarter in the Brighton Handicap today in the record time of 2:O4 3-5, winning the rich stake in a hot drive with The Kentuckian and Imp, while the great Ethelbert was lengths be- hind. Kinley Mack, the Suburban and Brooklyn Handicap winner of this year, was eighth, and Admiration, the choice of all the trainers, was fourth.
 It was a cracking race from start to finish, Admiration carrying them all off their feet for the first mile and then giving it up. Salvators crown was lowered and Tony Aste, the bootblack king, had the honors with his cast off, Jack Point Ethelbert was the favorite, and when the horses went to the post Admiration was very strong second choice, having been played down to threes from 1ves. Ethelbert was first away with The Ken tuckian second Admiration third and the others close up. Admiration covered the second furlong in Il Is seconds. making the the first quarter to the stand in 23 3-5 seconds. At that point she had opened up a gap of length on Jack Point, who had rushed up to and was a head in front of The Kentuckan. The half was reached in AZ 3-5 seconds, and the Whitney mare was flying along in front. Five furongs were rolled off in 1:01 1-5. Inch by inch and then foot by foot The Kentuckian began to draw up on Admiration, while Imp and Kinley Mack were making strong bids for the leadership. At the six furlong pole, which was reached in 1:13, Admiration nearly caught by The Kentuckan, as the mare only led by head, and Imp and kfnley Mack were coming fast.
 Stuck to tho Work
 Thirteen seconds for the seventh furlong gave Admiration and The Kentuckian heartache but they stuck gamely to their work, and begged away at the next fur long, coming to the turn into the stretch | heads apart in the fast time of 1:39 9-5.
 But Admiration was done to a turn, and The Kentuckian nearly so. Then came Imp from the rear, carrying her great weight of 129 pounds as if it was a feather weight perched upon the big saddle. He worked with his hands and heels to bring her down. Down through the stretch they thundered, and the crowd yelled. First one horse and then another was the call Then came the shout, Look at Jack Point!' for he coming with a new lease of life, and his heels churned the ground he passed them one after another, until at furlong from home in the record time of 1:51, he was clear and looked like winner barring accidents There were
  Odom was urging Imp like a Demon. He had clear path and no chance of acci- dent. It was useless, for there were two youngsters ahead of the black whirlwind and they had twenty lengths the better of it-an awful lead for such a distance and such fast race.
 As the clock licked off 2:04 3-5 Jack Point dashed past the judges stand a winner, length and half in front of.The Kentuck- ian, while Imp was in third place, her nose fn latx md there an inch more could she gain. The great Ethelbert was far behind, badly beaten and the hopes of Perry Belmont dashed to the ground. The time is now the best on record, beating Salvator's 2:0o in his match with Tenny. Summary:
