Bolt of Lightning Kills
Two Two Year-Olds at
GraveSend.
Special Dispatch to The Cell.

BRIGHTON BEACH, July 28.-The
officials wisely delayed calling the first
race to-day pending the cessation Of
one of the hardest transforms of the
year, which converted the already
chocolate colored elipse into pond.
There were four starters in the Iro-
Quois stakes, Ort Wells being
scratched. knight Errant carried top
weight, 126 pounds. He was required
to concede fifteen pounds to st. Valen-
tine. Gold Saint made all the run
ming and but for palpable tumble by
his rider, Hildebrand, at the last fur
long pole he might have won. This
gave st. Valentine. which had been
under severe punishment for a furlong,
q chance to get up, which he did, WIN
ming by a head. Two lengths away
was Knight Errant while Pentaur was
last. Time, 1866 1-5.
Knight Errant slipped on the turn
after finishing. He threw his jockey,
J. Martin. and ran toward the judges
stand, where he was caught.
During the storm to-day lightning
struck the stable occupied by the
horses OF z. L. Graves and Frank
Clarkson at Gravesend, killing two
two-year-olds, Woodtrice and c w r.
Dinah Shad was reported killed. but
she was only stunned. The stable was
almost completely destroyed, the
lightning tearing a hole through the
