Brighton Cup Proves ROmD fog
PRINCE of Melbourne

NEW YORK, July N.-The Brighton
cup, wefght-for-age race, at two and
quarter miles, was run at Brighton
Beach today. 1t was not the feature of
the days sport as had been expected,
however, as Prince of Melbourne and
Rochester were the only two to face the
starter and 1t amounted to a practical

Those who had taken a sucker chance
on Rochester cheered as he showed the
way for the next mile. Shaw made up
his ground gradually and romped home an
easy winner in the slow time of 1903 3-5.
