WON AT GRAVESEND

| NEW YORK, September 15.-The sensa-
! ton at Gravesend yesterday was the vic
| tory of Brother Frank, a two-year-old colt
| by knight of the Thistle-Perfidy who was
| generally quoted in the big ring at odds of
| 200 to 1. He ran in the two year-old handi-
cap. which was the fifth race on the card,
| and carried the colors of Mrs. c. E. Dur
| NELL the wife of Boots Durnell who saddled
| the colt in the paddock. Mrs. Durnell saw
Brother Frank win from a seat in the
grandstand balcony, but she did not bet
penny on him. Her husband had $40 on the
colt. 1t was said, at the prevailing odds, but
there was no trace of it in the betting ring
after the red board went up Durnell, as
| announced yesterday morning is supposed
to have purchased about S20O 600 worth of
yearlings at the recent sales in the interest
of his friend, John w. Gates. He had

to 81 with cash customer and paid out
half a dozen place and show wagers at so

several other one and two-dollar bets picked
up in the ring by lucky sharpshooters, but
that was about all.
Durnell prepared his colt for this race
at Belmont Park and shipped him to
Gravesend in the morning on the special
horse car train. The youngster had turned
six furlongs in lis so easily that Durnen
thought he had outside chance Book

colt by those who stood near and laughed
at his comment. Brother Frank previous
