BRIGHTON BEACH MEET.
Hawthorne Won the Bonner Stakes,
 the Big Event.


 New York, Aug. 1.-After a days de- lay on account of heavy track the Grand Circuit meeting was resumed today at Brighton Beach before 5000 spectators: The big event of the card was the $20, 900 Bonner stake for 2:12 trotters. The bet ting was very heavy, Billy Buck selling for l,0O0 to $700 for the field. The favorite won the first heat from Jim Ferry, but in the second he was beaten in a close and exciting finish by the rank outsider Haw- thorne who also won the fourth and fifth heats and the race. Judge Green was a hot favorite for the $500 John Shuts purse for 4-year-olds and he won in straight heats. Dariel and Albock were strong favorites in their races. In the 2:09 trot the Roman was the choice and finished last. For the 2:12 pace Strathlone defeated the favorite, Page Hal and in the 2:16 trot Dillon Boy upset the talent by beating Willard and Sanders who sold at $50 to $l5.

Memorial to Bessemer.

The agitation has begun in England
for the establishment by popular sub
scription of a memorial to Sir Henry
Bessemer. If any man deserves such an
honor it is certainly the one who enor-
mously extended the application of steel
by cheapening the operation OF making
it. Other factors have played a part
in the reduction of the cost from $3.50 to
$50 or SIS a ton in less than half a cen
fury. but by far the most influential is
the process which bears this great in
ventOrs name. Every man, woman
and child n every civilized country,
and millio7s of people still living in
bartarisfn. have been benefited directly
or indirectly thereby. More than five
years have elapsed since Sir Henry's
death. Hence the movement now on
foot can scarcely be regarded as pre-
mature. Moreover, his merit received
very little formal recognition during his
lifetime. He was made a baronet, not
