Rams Nile and a FarLong in Close
to Record Time.

II was cool and comfortable at the Brighton
Beach raoetrack yesterday. and this alone was
well worth the trip. In addition. however. the
racing was spirited. ana. while only one favorite
won, horses that in the main were well sup
ported got the decision IN the fve other races.
The Atlantic Stakes. for two-year-olds. at six
furlongs. was the fixture on the programme. and
IL resulted in head and head finish that
brought tho crowd TO its feet
Nostronc had the foot OF hts field at the start
with Guiding Star and Quorum well up. Guid-
sng Star wss crowded back in the first quarter
by Nostrono bearing over 20 the rail- He was
thrown out OF his stride and 1t may have had
something 10 do with the outcome. Nostromo
went on and showed the way around the turn
and into the stretch with what looked like a
winning lead, but Lyme had been saving Quo
run and brought him on with rush in the last
turlong. Miller. on Nostromo, did his best to
stan OF impending defeat. but Lyme unfinished
him IN the drive 10 the wire and got Quorum
np in time TO win by head Guiding Star and
Arkltrts closed much ground In the last quar-
tar but had 20 be content 70 fight II out for the
small end OF the stake. which Guiding Star
earned
Buttins ran the best race of his career in the
rnne and furIong handicap. He took up I1S
pounds. conceded weight to every horse in the
tsnce IN the fast time OF 1851 AS which is
within four-ffths OF a second Of the worlds
rocoro for the distance, made by Bonnibert IN
aso2 over the same track or the nine horses
which went 10 the post Garnish was a heavily
played fAvortte- lust at the end, however
Bututng was IN great demand, and his price
tumbled from 10 10 / 10 TO /. Garnish made
the running for six furlongs. with Buttling in
close attendance and under gentle restraint. On
the far turn Garnish began 10 tire, and Knapp
sushed Butting into the lead and held his way
70 the END winning all out by a length. Tyron
closed fast and managed TO beat Gamara a
head for the place In the last stride. Ten
lengths back Garnish headed the struggling
field, none OF which were in the running at any
part OF the Journey with the exception Of
Aarnee- She was away badly. but raced into
a contending position in the first half mile only
70 tire at the far turn and drop back beaten.
The steeplechase was chapter OF accidents.
Ten horses started and five finished, and one OF
these was so lame he could hardly hobble AS an
exhibition OF ground and lofty tumbling II was
g distinct success; as a steeplechaSe, q woful
failure. Pagan Bey, the favorite, was running
easily when he made a bad landing after jump
IL was easy for Knight of Harlem, which fenced
well throughout Sir Voohies broke down, and
The Deposed. Thornhedge and Curfew Bell came
dangerous croppers. which fortunately did not
result seriously to horses or Jockeys.
In the race for Jockeys who had never rid
den q winner little Holman was graduated and
he well deserved the brackets. Off none too
well, he saved ground all the way and gained at
least swo lengths by stealing through on the
rail on the far turn Schon also rode good
looked as if he must win. Yankee Consul raced
20 easy victory in the third race, and Idle Dream
managed 10 squeeze home g short head before
Ny Buela IN the last race
