BRIGHTON BEACH, July 9.-The
track was the fastest in its history to-
day. The feature event on the card
was the Brighton handicap. Broom
stick. the three -year-old. won the race
from the lame Irish Lad and made
new worlds record, 2:02 40, for one and
one-quarter miles, and ran the most
remarkable race ever witnessed upon
the American turf.
The horse which made the pace for
the victor and fell only few inches
behind at the finish ran with ringbone
developing. He was suffering agony in
those final strides. 1t was the pain
which at last defeated Irish Lad, and
it is the belief of many racegoers that
if he had been coaxed and encouraged
toward the last instead OF being
whipped he would not have swerved
and thus lost the most valuable handt-
cap of the year.
There were cheers for Broomstick and
his wonderful performance. yet the vol
ume of applause was hardly less great
for the son of Candlemas, second in the
race, as he lim2ed back from the SEN
sational performance which probably
closes his turf career. Highban was
third, while Waterboy, the favorite OF
the public, failed to defend his last
years title and his record OF 2:OS 10,
made on the same track.
All attendance records were broken
at the races to-day, for never was so
large a throng seen at the old race
track Fully 25,OOO spectators were
present despite the limited facilities.
