From Home.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BRIGHTON BEACH, Sc. :. II. = BY
far the largest crowd which attended
the six days race meeting saw the
four-year-old horse, kfricander.. win
the $4,000 Brighton cup to-da--. The
distance, two and a quarter miles, was
the longest that horses had been re-
quired to run this year, except in the
Annual Champion, which was at the
same distance, and yshich was won
easily by L. -R. Thoma-' Stalwart in
1854 3-5.
In to-day's race there was no fast
horse to set the pace and this import
ant part of the contest was assumed by
Major Daingerfeld, which bounded
along in front for mile and FIVE fur
longs. Just half mile from the finish
it was apparent Major Daingerfield had
done all the pacemaking he could or
would and then it was that O'Neil let
Africander do little running. At that
same instant Redfern relaxed his hold
on McChesney and the two drew away
from Major Daingerfield as If he were
glued to the ground.
Less than a quarter of a mile from
home Africander had a tritiing advant-
age, as he made a closer turn than did
McChesney. In spite of this, however,
McChesney was coming on after Afri-
cander so resolutely that O'Neil was
forced to use his whip once on his
mount. This drove Redfern to the whip
also, and for a few strides it seemed
McChesney might draw up on even
terms. 1t was only short lived hope,
as Africander drew slowly away and
passed the judges amid a hurricane of
applause scant length in front of Nc
Chesney, while nearly eighty yards
away came Major Daingerield. Sum-
