NEW YORK, Aug. Thirty thousand
men and women extended a great ova-
tion to Capt. S. S. Browns gallant colt
Hyphen, as he won the $4,000 Brighton
Derby for three year-olds at enc and
quarter miles today in the Phe-
nomenaily fast time Of 2;0i 10. Five
lengths back came Major pairgerfeld
winner ef the Brooklyn Derby ana the
Lawrence Realization Stakes. who con-
ceeded fifteen pounds to the winner
Homestead, the only other starter, was
beaten SO decisively that Jackson pulled
him up.
Major Daingerfield was ridden by
Shaw. He took up l26 pounds ana was
a slightly receding favorite at even
money, Hyphen. with Odom up, was
reduced from to > to 13 TO 10. Home
stead going up from fours to seveas.
Soons after the start Hyphen tool. the
lead. Going up the backstretch he in
creased his advantage TO length and
half Nearing the three-quarter pole,
Major Daingerfeld moved up to Hy-
rhen's flank, but the latter quickly drew
away, and the favorite was beaten then
and there
Shaw laid on the whip in the stretch
but it was Of no avail. as Hyphen won
easily by FIVE lengths.
The Fractional Time.
The fractional time made by the win
ner was as follows: First quarter in
O:24 2-5; three-eighths. o:S6 As: half
mile, O:49; five furlongs, 1:O1 2-5; three
quarters, 1:1S 3-5; seven-eighths,
1:26 Is; mile, 1:S9; mile and a quarter,
The time for the distance was but
two-hfths of a second slower than Gold
Heels American record of 2:O3 i-5 for a
circular track. made in the Brighton
Handicap, with 126 pounds up.
The Derby was run over a dead track,
which makes the performance OF both
Hyphen and Major Daingerfeld ali the
more remarkable. II they had carried
even weights. opinion is divided as to
the result, though many turfmen are
confident that Hyphen would have car
ried the day just the same.
Favorites Win.
1t was foregone conclusion that
Fleischmann's Hurstbourne would win
the $4,000 Brighton Junior Stakes for
two-year-olds at six furlongs. He was
always an odds-on favorite, going 20 the
post at l 10 2. the chief reason being
that ne had big pull in the weights.
The Messrs. Keene's Dalesman and
Prediction. the former carving 125
pounds, or twenty-three pounds more
than Hurstbourne, were coupled SECOND
choices at threes.
Captain Brown came near securing an
other victory in this event with his colt
Hlue Ribbon, who is a brother 10 Blues
II was not until Hurstbourne felt the
whip that he managed to get up in the
last few jumps in time to win by d
short neck in 1:13. Blue Ribbon fin
ithcd s-~ lengths before Woodlake, who
beat Tantalus Cup by a length The |
keene colts brought up the rear in the !
most disappointing fashion.
These big stakes and five other races |
drew an immense crowd to witness the /
closing of Brighton's summer meeting |
The bookmakers received so many hard |
3olts and there was so much enthusiasm |
that the occasion will long be remem-
bered as red-letter event Every win /
ner was backed to win thousands. and
after each race the cashiers were busy
paying OF until they paused for breath.
