Especial to The Evening WORLDLY
BRIGHTON BEACH RACE TRACK.
July. 8.-Twenty-hve thousand persons
saw Artful win the $4,000 Brighton
Handicap at the seaside course this
afternoon. The immense crowd went
into a delerium of enthusiasm when the
field swung into the stretch and the
roar that went up from 5000 throats
drowned the booming of cannon and
rattle of musketry Of the mimic war
fare being ragged IN the lot adjoining
the course. Thousands crowded down
to the rails and screamed encourage
ment as the horses went by them dn q
confused blur.
Showers had fallen at various times
during the afternoon. but mons Of them
were heavy enough to do more than lay
the dust, SO that tho track could not
have been In wore perfect shape u It
, had been made to order. Thsrei was q
slight shower falling a. the horses. went
to the post at L06 o'clock. Beldame. who
Is AWAY led to the tartins point. had
preceded the balance Of the field. and
the applause OF the crowd showed that
her recent defeat had not destroyed the
love Of the racegoers for this great
mare.
It was Artful all the way. Not only
did she make all her own pace. but she
finished in that playful stride Of hers,
with H~ildebrand easing her UP.
When Starter Cassidy sent the Geld
away Artful was not in front. Ort
Wells broke quickest, with Monsieur
Bcaucaire next. Then came rtful, and
Hildeorand. following instructions. at
once sent her to the front and to the
rail. Then Hildcbrand took hold of her
again and lot Ort Wells get to her head.
.hey raced this way to the first turn.
where Dolly Spanker raced up on tho
outside and lay within a half length
of the two leaders. Then came Bel
dame, with O'Neill fidgeting for an open
ing on the rail. which he never got.
. Then they swung on to the bach
stretch. and here Hildebrand let Artful
move to the front again. taking a lead
of a length from Ort Wells. who was
about the same distance in front Of
Dolly Spanker, and Beldame. W
lengths away. On the far turn Hide
brand made no effort to increase his
lead until near the stretch.
There he called on her. and she came
away so fast thai Sporting went to the
whip on Ort Wells at once. Dolly
Spanker was lone by this time. and
Beldame was in third place. The great
mare was beaten, however. and she
could not make up ground on. either Ort
Wells or Artful.
In the stretch Hildebrand took a look
over his shoulders at the others. Artful
was simply playing along. and her
Jockey eased her so that In the last six
,eenth Ort Wells appeared to close fast.
The crowd shrieked a mighty encour-
agement to Ort Wells, but It was no use.
for Artful had the race On hand won
eased up by a length.
Beldame, soundly beaten. was ten
length. away. The time, 2.o4 As, was
not near the record. but II was believed
mat the rain. after all. had made the
go.ng just a bit slow.
