Three Favorites Win.
NEW YORK. July 12.-Twenty-five
thousand people attended the races at
Brighton Beach this afternoon, and en-
thusiasm was at white heat. Three IA
vorites won, and the ring suffered an
other series OF financial iolts that made
the worried layers see stars.
The Neptune Stakes OF s5G00, for two
year-olds, at three quarters of Il mile

but also provided the heaviest betting
proposition of the afternoon.

receiving three pounds from both River
Pirate and Monte Carlo, and at the same
time conceding from five to twenty
pounds to the others.
The layers offered even money against
Africander. and they never ceased to
stow the wagers down deep in their
satchels, yet, the price went up shade

leaders and won in a drive by a length

Africander a head for the place.
Those who backed the favori;e had
many unpleasant comments TO make for
the way Turner rode the colt. That
appears to be a universal opinion just at
present.
