GRAvEsEND, June 15.-Graves-
ends spring meeting was brought to
q close to-day. The only feature was
the Myrtle Stakes, which was won by
Sheriff Bell. under terrific punishment
by Tommy Burns. The latter was
forced TO DO his strongest riding to
get his mount up in front Of Flam-
mula. which had made the running
IN company with Unmasked.
Buttons. OF last ran in that posi-
ton or near It for the first half-nile,
then began to close on those in front.
embarrassment, sold TO J. w. Gibbon
st auction two hours before the race,
fell lame during the running and was
far behind the placed horses at the
finish.
Agile should have won the two
year-old handicap, as she was going
easily at the last furlong post, but
soon after that Philip ]. Dryers col
Ors on Red Friar came strong, and
Helgeson was forced TO begin riding
Agile. 1t was too late TO save the
race, however. and after short de-
lay the judges announced IL a dead
heat between Agile and Red F'riar.
The last named was coming so fast
that he might have won outright In
the next stride. II is so long since
Mr.. Dwyer has won a race that his
friends hoped he had secured this. but
the verdict was a dead heat. Under
the rules Of racing dead heat be-
tween twO-year-olds cannot be run
of, so the purse was divided. II
the fractional time Of this race was
correct the first quarter was run
faster than any other quarter at this
meeting The stewards cautioned
Helgeson for reckless riding soon after
the start. Summaries:
