NEW YORK, July 25.-The Brighton
track was fetlock deep in mud this
afternoon, and the bookmakers had far
and away the better of the struggle
with the form players. Only two favor
ties were Successful, though Lord Pep
per, backed down from s to l to is to 5
in the first race, landed a pot of money
for his supporters.
The weather was threatening, yet
1000 persons were on hand when the
bugke sounded.
The handicap at one and one-quarter
miles was limited to three starters, but
il afforded not only the liveliest betting
of the day, but also a finish that kept
the crowd in doubt as to the result till
the decision of the judges had been
made known.
Tom Kenney, with lie pounds, was a
4-to-5 favorite in the opening quota
t;ons, but he receded to even money. as
Cuspidor was played down from threes
to IL to 8. Sadie S. was steadily sup
ported at threes.
Shea proceeded to make the running
with Sadie S. as soon as the barrier was
lifted. The Charaxus mare assumed a
lead of two lengths going up the back
stretch, with Cuspidor a similar dis

There was no mistake made in back

Scott Best of Maidens.
Fifteen maiden two-year -olds ran in
the second event, at six furlongs. John
A. Scott was the selection of the wise
fraternity, being sent to the barrier at
money at fours, while Michaelmas was
reduced to skies. Napoleon was another
supposed good thing, while there was
generous play on Epidemic.
John A. Scott had the others at his
mercy. He took the track without de-

as the railbirds say. Full Back, 30-to-
j chance, rushed into the place, which
he took from Squid by two lengths.

beaten in the third race, for platers, at

talent felt sure that he had victory
