GRAVESEND RACEfTRACK. N Y.
Sept. 1.-THE racing at Gravesend to-day
was over a very slushy track and conse-
GENTLY horses noted for their ability to
nm under such circumstances finished
urst with great regularity The most
aotable performances were those shown
tr Shotgun and Aristocracy in their re-
>uective races. Both were required TO
larry top weights and both were forced
to do their best 10 win.
Shotgun was vigorously handled by his
rider. Hicks. all through the last fur
long. He stood OF the rush Of Wild
Thyme. which. better placed at the start,
might have made IL impossible for Shot
gun 10 win. John w. Gates is reported
60 have wagered $1,000 on Shotgun.
Aristocracy's chief opposition in the fifth
race came from the long shot, Ruby Ring.
D. was not until the last half-furlong OF
the race that Ruby Ring showed indica-
tions OF having enough and even then
sluggish. hard-ridden Molinos got second
money by only head from the well
lacked COvingtOn filly.
The Speculation stakes was won by
Daisy Green. which defeated Rostsnd by
one and a half lengths, with Thorney-
croft third
