Gunfire Wins for
the Talent at
GraveSend.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

GRAVESEND, Sept. 26.-One OF the
features of the racing at Gravesend to-
day was the easy victory of the ia
vorite, Gunfire, in the overnight han
dicap, in which she was carrying top
weight. 126 pounds, and in which as
good as even money was offered
against her. Running without blinkers,
the mare was in third place for seven
furlongs; then she moved to the front
very fast and easily deprived the two
year-old, Fleur de Marie of the lead.
Gunfire won by several lengths. She
was ridden with skill by Hildebrand.
a Though Gunfire ran in the name and
colors of II. b. Duryea, it is reported
upon excellent authority that she will
become the property of Clarence H.
Mackay at the close of this season and
will be mated with Banaster, which
Won the Brooklyn and Metropolitan
handicaps, while Gunfire herself won
the Metropolitan and was beaten a
head by her stable mate, Irish Lad,
for the Brooklyn handicap.
1t was Gunfire's first victory this
year. She won her last race in 1903 at
the Jamaica track in November last
