Colonial Girl, Carrying Top
Weight, Finishes a Close
Fourth.
Special Dispatch to The Cali

GRAVESEND, Sept. 29.-The closest
finish of the current meeting at Graves
end was seen to-day in the nine-fur
long handicap, the third race on the
card. Top weight was carried by Co
lonial Girl, winner of the Worlds Fair
handicap at st. Louis and of the On
MUM handicap at Sheepshead Bay.
This mare, which was handicapped at
ninety-seven pounds when she defeat
ed Hermis at st. Louis and at 107
pounds in the Omnium, is to-day re-
quired by handicappers to take up 122
pounds.
She was poorly ridden by Booker, the
pace being set by Hurst Park. Ostrich
pressed him closely, but as Hurst Park
swung wide he carried Ostrich out and
thus enabled Adriutha, John Sanford s
clever daughter Of Clifford, to come on
next the rail, thereby gaining some
ground. The finish was most exciting
one. Hurst Park was in the center of
the course, with Ostrich on his right
and Adriutha on the outside. The lat
ter received the verdict, while not more
than a length and half away was
Colonial Girl, which lost no friends by
her defeat.
The time for nine furlongs was
1854 3-5, not fast time, but this was due
to the absence of a pacemaker, as
to make his own running. Ostrich
would have won but for his poor start
and his bad luck in being carried wide.
