Brighton Starting.

GRAvESEND RACE TRACK. N. Y,
June &C ]. Fitzgerald. manager Of
the Brighton Beach Racing Association.
made the announcement today that Dick
Dwyer VIII do the starting during the
coming meeting at the Beach.
This comes as a surprise. as II was
generally supposed that Mars Cassidy
would do the starting on all Eastern
tracks.
The talent suffered a singing reverse
at the outset on H. K. Knapp's three
year-old colt Benevolent, who was
hot 5-to-5 favorite. The money came
into the ring in bundles. but the son
Of Ben Strome ran only bang-up third.
Paul Jones Finished Alone.
The running OF the Greater New York
Steeplechase of two and a half miles
was replete with exciting incidents
Every horse in the race fell. with the
exception Of Thomas Hitchcock's Paul
Jones. Paul Jones finished all alone.
Water Pearl. the big son of Watercress.
added Sl1.200 TO the winnings OF the
Paget stable. by winning the Great
American Stakes. Water Pearl was a
strong favOrite. and he won in the
easiest possible way.
Miller Rode Perfectly.
In the Broadway Stakes the specta-
tors were treated to an exhibition of
perfect riding and another of the most
incompetent work. Miller rode Ormon-
dale perfectly. while Notter, on whimsi-
cGi. made many u mans hair turn gray.
Ormondale led all the way. Notter got
away badly with Whimsical. ran into a
pocket, pulled up sharply to get out OF
I. r1uu ha g..
wide into the stretch, and. in fact. he
did everything he could TO help defeat
the mare. With riders reversed,
Whimsical would have breezed home.
The other races were not marked by
any special features.
