GraveSend Track.
Special Dispatch to Tho Call.

GRAVESEND, May Blowing TO
the radical change in the track at
Gravesend because of the heavy rain
storm, the long run of favorites which
had almost bankrupted the bookmak-
ers. was checked-whether temporarily
or not remains to be seen. In race al
ter race the first choice was beaten
until that consistent horse Hurst PARK
came to the rescue and sent the play
ers OF first choices home happy.
No doubt there were several false
favorites, as was the case in the first
event in which De Reszke was pre-
ferred to Ascension. notwithstanding
the partiality which the latter has al
ways shown for a heavy track. 1t was
no doubt because Hildebrand was on De
Reszke and Travers was on Ascension
that the first named caught most OF
the play.
In the second race S. H. Browns fine
Sir Dixon fillv Wayward Lass was
we'll PLAYED favortte. but she was
forced to pull up with second money
although at one stage of the race sne
seemed dangerous. Helgesen took her
wide and w. S. Fanshawe's Schula-
mite, who was leased by her owner
from Clarence II. Mackey, came on
up the stretch a clever winner. Req
