ATHLETES PERFORM BRILLIANTLY IN THE STADUN
HEAVILY BACKED FAVORITE
FOR FREMONT STAKES, BADLY BEATEN
When Jockey O'Neill Lets
Him Down the Colt Does
Not Respond.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

GRAVESEND, June 11.-Thirty thou
sand people were attracted to Graves
end to-day by an extra Offering of sew
en- races, two of which were classic
events, known as the Brooklyn Derby
for three-year-olds at a mile and 9
half. and the fremont stakes, for two
year-olds, over the short course.
Both of the favorites in these events
were beaten. In the fremont particu-
larly the favorite, Britisher, looked in
vincible. The bookmakers thought sc
and the heavy players were of the same
opinion. 1t is estimated that at least
5000, 900 was lost on Britisher alone. The
colt ran an amazing race. He was a
bit slow to begin, but before the field
had run q furlong O'Neill was seen to
take hold Of Britisher and restrain
him. The colt appeared full of run
ming. They raced this way to the turn,
and so easily was Britisher going at
this point that his hackers put up their
glasses with a satisfied air and said,
Easy money" When, however, the
field was nearing the stretch O'Neill
was seen to loosen his wrap and start
riding. Britisher did not respond. Those
who had counted on an easy victory
were dumb with amazement when
Merry Lark won from Veto by a
length, Britisher being badly beaten.
