NEW YORK. June Fifteen thou
sand racing enthusiasts were attracted
to Gravesend this afternoon by the run
ming of the $4,000 Brooklyn Derby and
the $4,000 fremont Stakes. together with
five other well-hlled events. The wealth
er was also an inducement to make the
trip from the torrid city. inasmuch as
cool breezes blew up from the ocean and
tempered the rays of the blazing orb
overhead.
The track was heavy in spots. which
made fast time out of the question. and
also cut up public form TO a marked
degree. as only three favorites finished
first. Two of them. Major Daingerfield
ard Artvis. were successful in the two
big stake events. and as both carried an
ocean of money, their triumphs made up
for other reverses.
Like Father, Like Son.
There was quite bit of sentiment at
tached to Major Daingerfield's victory in
the Derby. and, incidentally. share of
the honors for Philip J. Dwyer. presi-
dent of the Brooklyn Jockey Club. The
Derby. which IS mile and one-half
Journey Cor three-year-olds. was first
run in 1857. when Mr.. Dryers famous
Hanover won it. In 1896, Handspring. a
son of Hanover. also owned by Mr..
Dwyer. was victorious. Major danger
field was sired by Handspring and was.
as yearling, the property of Mr.. Dwyer.
When the latter sold the colt to Gen.
f. c. McLewee and Diamond Jim
Brady. 1t was stipulated that if the son
of Handspring and the grandson of Han
over should ever, as a two-year-old or
three-year- win SO, 900 stake. $1,000
o. it should go to Mr.. Dwyer.
1t was for this reason. and because of
the fact that the success of Hanover and
Handspring had been repeated, that Mr..
Dwyer received many congratulations
after today's race.
Daingerfield the Favorite.
Major Daingerfeld. who is magnif
cent black, had shown such impressive
work at the distance that the talent
was ready TO heap the money on him
long before the first orders appeared.
King Hanover carried stake weight. 126
pounds, while Major Daingerfeld, Home
stead. and Emshee each received an al
lowance of pounds. The layers opened
with 4 to against Major Daingerfeld,
but the money came in in such deluge
that / to prevailed all over the ring
at post time. King Hanover receded
from twos to threes, and Homestead went
I'D from threes to sevens. Emshee was
played down to twelves, there being a
rumor afioat that Mr.. Featherstone
would make another killing.
When starter Fitzgerald sent the quar-
tet away, King Hanover and Major
Daingerfield dashed away as if trying to
run each other into the ground. They
kept I'D this fast clip until they had
covered the first quarter, and then slow
ed up. Coming down past the stand for
the first time, completing the first half
mile. King Hanover, with Burns hold
ing him so tightly that his mouth was
open, showed the way.
Won by Ten Lengths.
Major Daingerfeld. with Odom also
checking him, was a length and one-half
behind. Homestead being third, and En-
sbee last This was the order as they
entered the backstretch, but at the
three quarter polo Major Daingerfield
rushed UP on even terms with Mr.. Whit
ney's colt, who was literally run of
his feet in the next half mile.
At the far turn Odom let the powerful
Handspring colt have his head, and with
out further ado the latter ran away
from Homestead, who. taking advantage

McLewee's Colt With beautiful stride
and an ever increasing advantage, Major
Daingeffield hurried down the stretch
until al the wire, when he was eased al
most TO a walk. he had ten lengths TO
spare, his time being 2:37. Homestead
was dozen lengths before King Han
over, who was fifteen lengths in front
Of Emshee.
Artvis by Head.
The fremont Stakes, one OF the star
two-year-old events of the year, was a
dash OF about six furlongs. the longest
distance asked Of -year-olds so far
this season. Artyis, a high class chest
nut colt, was so much in demand when
: TO was offered against him that he
was sent to the barrier on to ., fav- |
orite. River Pirate attracted big money |
at threes, with Whitechapel a strong |
third choice at fours. Fire Eater was
one oY the persistently tipped good |
things and was hammered down from ff- |
teens to seyens.
Ten youngsters went TO the post |
where all sorts of monkey shines were |
In order. The starter soon put on the |
fines. Shaw, Odom, o'Connor, pullman |
and Buchanan receiving penalties of
$10s each.
