NEW YORK, July Another dead
heat was run at Brighton this after
noon. So close together were ]. G. Fol-
lansbee's keynote and H. X. vinguts
Choate when they passed the finish mark
in the first race for apprentices at
mile and a sixteenth that the judges
could not separate them. Keynote. an
odds on favorite. ridden by Yancy, was
pounds the best horse in the race and
should have won easily, but he was
handled in such a bungling manner that
the best he could get was an even break
even after Choate had lead of ten
lengths at the last furlong pole.
A run-off was ordered. and this time
Keynote demonstrated his superiority
by winning pulled up by fifty lengths in
1:52 Is.
This was the only sensational feature
at the Beach, where crowd of 5000
gathered to see the running off. OF a
well-filled program.
Four favorites won, which enabled the
talent to recover some of the money
dropped on Saturday.
Nones Gets Poor Ride.
The most important event on the card
was q $1,000 handicap, at a mile and
furlong, with nine starters. p. Ryans
Nones was the favorite, receding to TO
1. He carried 126 pounds, giving away
weight to all the others, according TO
the scale. Roxane was second choice
ct fives, with enough support for Greer
B. Morris Homestead to reduce him
from tens to skies.
Cuspidor and st. Finah rush, along
in front together for three-quarters of
O mile. Then C. F. Dwyer's Francesca.
IL to 1 shot. took a strong lead and
turned into the stretch looking all over
e winner. Nones. who got away from
the barrier slowly. closed very strongly,
and with a better send-off might have
won. But he was unable TO erhaui
Francesca, who won in drive by three
lengths in ISL As. fast time. Roxane
was third, length and q half behind.
Old England Heavily Played.
In the third race. for three-year-olds,
at six furlongs, Green Morris good horse
Old England was an odds-on fayorite a.
2 to 5, but he was heavily supported,
even at that figure. With Cameron and
Slipthrift scratched. Josepha was made
the second choice, and they ran in this
order. Old England winning very COM
fortably, while Josepha disposed of the
long shot Remorse, quoted at 25 to l.
The two Juvenile events resulted in
victories for Eugenia Burch and Dram
atist, respectively.
Eugenia Burch, who is a looking
miss, the property of F. r. Hitchcock,
was equal choice with J. B. Haggin's
St. Jude, who has performed very well
in his few starts this year. At the nn-
ish the race resulted in a duel between
the favorites, and Eugenia Burch got
the verdict.
A Reversal of Form.
D-amatist, winner OF the other race
for two-year-o olds. was at good price,
J. ]. McCafferty's Joe Cobb being odds
on favorite at to g. The latter could
do no better than second. Dramatist's
victory was a reversal of form, but he
has been none too well ridden in his
previous races, and probably showed his
true form for the first time today.
Ohnet, who took the last race, was an
even money choice, and won easily. He
is a greatly improved horse of late, and
will hold his own in selling platter com
pany.
