BRIGHTON RACES.
Andy Williams Captured the Nautilus

Much the best race Of the day at
Brighton Beach yesterday was the rousing
finish seen when Burns and BulIman Joined

Persons aware of the incidents preceding

warmed up very badly: in fact, he walked
lame in the paddock. His owner, Dr. Row

to scratch tho horse, but the number was

start. AT the start Homestead bumped
into Bon Mot who was nearly knocked
down. He was several lengths behind every
other horse as they passed the judges stand

He afterward told the stewards that as the
race was going on he saw he had chance,
but that when he made move on the far
turn he cut off. Notwithstanding all

In the paddock he was decidedly lame, and
the stewards inspected his condition for
themselves.
