At GRAVESEND
Fine Sport Promised on the
Brooklyn Jockey Clubs
Course.

1t is an unusually attractive program
that has been arranged for the present
week at Gravesend, and from beginning to
end the sport should be of Il high order and
furnish fair test of how the public that
turns out on week days will accept the
new schedule of admission prices. The man.
agement does not anticipate any material
decrease In the attendance figures and the
result will he closely watched by those who
have the financial interest of the sport at
heart.
There are several good stakes on the ros-
ter during the week. and the fields in all of
them promise to be materially increased in
size over those that contested at Belmont
Park. Many of the really high-class horses

with interest The Broadway stakes, for
three-year-olds, at a mile and a sixteenth;
the Great American. for two-year-olds. and
the Greater New York steeplechase handi-
cap. all of which will be run on Saturday,
will furnish fitting climax for brilliant
