NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Ethelbert, held at
10 ?, won the Brighton Cup stakes, at
two miles and a quarter, at Brighton
Beach today, a scant length before the
black whiriwind Imp, in the fast time
of 3:49 Is. Sidney Lucas, the American
Derby winner, as a bad third, ten lengths
away, and eight lengths in front OF the
tired Herbert, who brought up the rear.
A record breaking half holiday crowd
was on hand, and the conditions were ali
favorable for the big race. TsN weather
was cool and bright, and the track light
ming fast. The sport began with a sensa-
tonal dead heat between Rare Perfume,
the odds-on favorite, and Sir Fitzhugh
1t was run off, Sir Hugh winning easily,
but this delayed matters so that it was
4:25 o'clock when the bugle called the
horses to the post for the cup race. Prince
McClurg and Prince of Melbourne, the
Realization winner, declined the issue,
leaving four to go
Etheibert was made favorite at odds
on, while heavy play on Sidney Lucas
cut his price from to 3 to 1. The casual
race goers bet their s. and $40 on Imp
at s to l, but Herbert had few followers
The starter caught them in line at the
first break Imp was on the rail, and
jenkins took her out to- make the running
Down past the grand stand they came the
first time with Imp looping in front two
lengths before Ethelbert, Herbert and
Sidney Lucas being lengths apart The
pace was fast. Taking her field to the
half IN so is, she percephbly increased
her advantage, and, going up the back
stretch, she was six lengths before Ethel
bert and so. along in that even machine
like stride for which she IS famous, the
first mile was covered In la 20, with
the horses in relatively the same posi-
ton. Down past the stand they came for
the second time. and still Imp was gall
looping along easily in front Spencer
was crouched low over Ethelbert's neck,
with tight hold over his mount, and it
was plain he was going easily.
Going up the back stretch the second
time the same order was maintained, and
hackers of the1avorite began to wonder
what Spencer was going to let Ethelbert
do. Imp was going along easily six
lengths in front. maintaining the same
fast pace. Nearing the far turn Spencer
let out a wrap on Ethelbert, and from
six lengths Imp's lead was gradually cut
to three and then to two lengths. Sidney
Lucas was hard at work. He passed Her
bert but he was beaten, as far as the
two leaders We're concerned. The two
mile mark was reached in 1922 2-5, the
second mile having been covered in Al.
Imp was still in front, but as they
rounded into the stretch Etbelbert took
command and Spencer without the use
of whip or spur, brought him home a
clever winner, amidst the widest enthu-
siastic APPLAUSE. Imp hung on gamely,
under punishment, and finished q length
back, beaten, but not digraced. Sidney
Lucas staggered IN ten lengths back.
Ethelbert and Imp both got an ovation as
they cartered back to the post. Sum
