Ponies VIII Run at Gravesend As For
 Iherly.
 New York, Sept. 26.-Supreme Court Justice Mclean has refused an applica- tion for an injunction to restrain the Brooklyn Jockey Club from running races at the Gravesend track on the ground that there was nothing in the papers to show that crime was about to be committed. and In his opinion the court had no power to grant such an injunction.
 This ruling was made after the court had examined affidavits and other pa pers in application made to 1t by two lawyers, who asserted that gambling and pool selling was permitted by the jockey club at the Gravesend track and as such gambling would be permitted until the close of the meeting October 30. they believed the court could issue an injunction against the jockey club.
 Judge Grogan said: Your papers dc not satisfy me that you have made out a case. for an injunction.
 But" said counsel, we show that a man lost $1.oo0 gambling at the race track"
