RACES AT AQUEDUCT.
Bedouin Captured Star Event From a
Good Field.

The fall meeting or the Queens County
Jockey Club opened at Auueduct yesterday
with one of the largest crowds that ever
passed the gates OF this popular track on
hand The racing, too, was of high order
of excellence considering the lateness OF
the season; the field that went to the post
for the Aqueduct handicap, for all ages,
one mile and a sixteenth, being one OF the
best of the year W. s. Vosburgh's clever
arrangement of the weights in this event
had the talent all at sea, with the result
that every horse in the race was played
E. w Jewett's Bedouin, backed from 10 TO
5, closing a slight favorite over Jocund, at
@. Colonial Girl, the top weight, was Sc
verely kicked at the post, and as IL was
cruelty to insist upon her remaining in the
race in such crippled condition the stew
ards ordered her withdrawn. At the send

set a fast pace to the head of the long
stretch, where she soon died away to moth

was shut off early, and Ormondes Right
after getting off well, backed up in the final
quarter.
Boots Durnell put killer over the plate
in the first race seven-furlong handicap,
in New Mown Hay. The mare was backed
down to to l, carrying q big wager for
John W. Gates, and she won so easily that
1t seemed shame to take the money
Wiley cut her loose al the last furlong pole,
and she simply romped home, six lengths
before Cloten, fifteen to l shot, carrying
the colors of J. e Seagram. Bryan, u 20 to
shot. was a poor third. Sterling had early
speed but backed up to nothing. The race
was run in 1.26 fiat.
The Seagram colors were flashed in front
in the second race, at mile by Norbury
to l. who showed an undoubted form re-
versal and won in gallop by three lengths

race. Andrew Mack, backed from 10 down

between the inner rail and the fayorit e

in 40.

colt who was sent to the post a 1 to . IA
