The weather at the Brighton Beach racetrack
yesterday was threatening ali the afternoon, al
though only a sprinkle of rain FELL and that not
until the afternoons amusement was nearly
over. The crowd was the smallest OF the meet
ing 20 date the combined influences OF the
weather and the probable form upset that
usually results from a heavy track keeping
many even OF the regulars away. The pro-
gramme promised sport OF only a mediocre
nature. which aided in keeping the attendance
az a low figure.
The principal event was an overnight handi-
cap. I'm which the consistent Angler was slated
20 carry topweght. 100 pounds There a
belief in many quarters that the weight might
stop Angler enough TO allow some other horse
20 head him for the first time in weeks. The
scratches in this race reduced the field TO four
star>ers. only Sailor Boy, Corrigan and Garnish
taking UP the issue with Angler.
Angler opened favorite at 10 5, with Garnish
and Corzdgan az and 4, respectively. The weight
OF the money went on COrrigan, which went TO
the post at 10 J. while Anglers price drifted
back 20 Q 70 8.
Garnish showed in front for an instant at the
start but going around the first turn Sailor
Boy forged 20 the fore. Angler moved up with
him, while CorTigan passed Garnish which had
already had enough. They ran in this order to
she stretch turn. where Angler under a light
1lde- headed Sailor Boy. which hung on gamely
and was an easy second. Corrigan was a poor
fhird, with Garnish beaten of.
Nearly all OF those carded for the first race at
SIX fUElongs, faced the starter. Joaquin was a
5cceding favorite. drifting back from 20 70
10 Q, while much money went into the ring on
51er1t. Belle OF Portland. All Right and No
.yena-
lowed by the favOrite. They ran thus well ahead
of the 1leld 20 the far turn where Joaquin forged
20 the fore, and. coming down the stretch. drew
away without an effort. Novena, closing full OF
running, easily beat Belle Of Portland, which
stopped almost 20 nothing at the close and bare
3y saved third place from All Right.
In the second race Fantastic, Tourenne Bot
anist' and Laura A. carried the weight of the
money. Toureene being the betting choice at the
close Duicinea had the early speed and raced
out in front, with BOtanist and Laura A fol-
lowing. lengths apart. At the head OF the
stretch the leader had had enough, and Botanist
ana Laura a moved up. Fantastic following

speed, was poor fourth.
Sonoma Belle, which receded in the betting
from TO Is to 1, won the third event at a
mile and a sixteenth, in a driving finish but
by a good margin. TyTon, the faVorfte. which,
as in his last start, had run well back TO the
stretch turn, closed fast and took second place.
Little Scout, which had been absolutely last
for part Of the distance, closed like whirl-
at the wire. Colonel White a well played good
thing, was never in the running.
Six scratches in the fifth race left a field Of
nine to go. Belle Of PeQuest, The Clown and
Annetta Lady were favored at prices around 3
70 l. The Flambeau filly and the Hastings
fhree-year-old carried the bulk of the money on
account OF we'll known fondness for the heavy
going. Molly Donahue and The Clown were
first away from the barrier, with Belle Of Pc
quest racing in third position. The latter joined
issue with the leaders on the far turn as did
Annetta Lady. The effort of the latter a,
