Horse Review Stake in Three
Straight Heats.

The events of the grand circuit meeting
at the Brighton track yesterday proved to
be the most exciting to date. The at
tendance was large and speculation
heavy, the books doing a large business.
The first race, the 2:0S pace, was on
the novelty plan, and Major Muscovite
was a hot choice at I to 10 for the heat.
The gelding Chestnut had the pole and
started off at merry pace to win, with
Winfield, Stratton and Major MuscoVite
close up. The fight all the way around
was close, but Chestnut came away and
won by two lengths. Sphinx S. finished
sixth.
In the second heat The Bishop was the
choice, and this time the talent made no
mistake. Winfield Stratton led to the
half when the favorite caught him, and
with Tom Nolan, the trio shot down the
stretch, The Bishop winning by two
lengths, with Tom Nolan second. Strange
to say, Sphinx S. was prohibitive favor
ite at l to for the second heat, and as
soon as he got the word he went like a
fash, but was soon caught by Major Mus
covite and the pair went like a team to
the seven furlong pole, where Sphinx S.
came away and won. The judges fined
Spear, his driver, 5000 for not trying for
the first heat.
The $4,000 Hiram Woodruff purse for
the 220 trotting class was a most excit-
ing race. Before the first heat Dulce
Cor cold at even money against the field.
She proved a counterfeit and was never
formidable.
The $4,000 Horse Review stake for g.
year-old trotters proved to be the great
est race Of the season for the class, nine
colts and tillies coming up for the word.
The polls before the first heat were The
Rajah, $100; Vyzant, Jr., S1O0; the field,
500. John Nc had the pole and kept 1t
we'll up the back stretch. He was soon
Joined by The Rajah and Vyzant, and the
three shot up the back stretch and
around the top turn, but once in the
stretch The Rajah came away with an
electric rush, winning by two lengths
from John Nc. He won the next two
heats with equal ease, taking the third in
214A. This is the best 3-year-old record
of the season. The Rajah won easily
that he looks like the champion 3-year-
old Of next year. He was bred by S
De Ridder of Louisville, KY, who still
owns him.
The amateur race was won by Mabe
Onward in a very close contest by 6
half length in each heat.
