GENERAL SPORTING SEWS OF THE DAT IPrECIAI, TELEGRAM TO IB DISFATCII.l Kew YokK, May 15. If the weather is fine to-roorrow there will be between 15,000 and 20,000 persons at the Brooklyn Jockey Club's course, near Gravesend, to-morrow-afternoon to see the 525,000 Brooklyn handicap decided. The heavy rain of early this morning turned the course into a rirer for an hour or so, but the excellent drainage system carried away the water admirably, and at 4 o'cloct this afternoon the track was beginning to dry out nicely. Superintend ent Brush vouchsafed the opinion that he would have a good track. before the time for the big race, and that it was not a sure thing that he would not have to get out nis sprinklers in order to keep the dust down. Longstreet Haft Lots of Friend. All the horses engaged in the Brooklyn were out to-day and had moderate exercise, Longstreet, Banquet and Kaceland walking around the course about 4 o'clock. Long street's lriends are legion, and the remark was general that it would be a great pity if rain fell before the race, as another storm would certainlv put the trark in bad order. Iongtreet will be a big favorite for the handican and Ituscll will be second choice. Then will come Kaceland, with fair prices against the others. Mr. Dwyer said to-dav that he would start all three of his candi dates if the track was fast. Major Domo, Jndce Morrow and Clarendon have ad mirers who will take a chance on their fa vorites. On past loriu and work done this spring the race should be between Long street and Russell at the finish. On a fast track Longstreet would win in the judg ment of the best men following the turf as a means or livelihood, but the track will be more or less dead under the surface. Rus sell should make the big horse run every yard of the way. Clarendon, Major Dorao and Fairview will see to it that the pace is last during the early part of the race, as they are a remarkably speedy trio. Something Abont Ihn Starterft. Longstreet won 16 out of 18 races in which he started last season. He was third in a sweepstakes at Brooklyn on May 30,and ran second to Foxford in a welter handicap at Morns Park on June 8. His last appear ance was in the famous match race with Tenny. The match was decided at Morris Park on August 1. Longstreet won by sir lengths. The match was tor $5,000 a side and 52,500 added money. Each horse carried 124 poundB and the distance was one mile and a quarter. Raceland started 24 times last season and was successful 13 times. Ke can carry weight lor a distance and run equally well on a fast or heavy track. Banquet is a record holder. He made a new mile and a quarter record over the straight course at Monmouth as a 3-year-old I - .. icnA ...l.!..!. .t.J. .n.il.i.. TY.. "T ci -ed the distance, with 10S pounds up, in 2.-03. He started 28 times last year, and earned brackets 9 times. His forte is a heavy track, but he can more than hold his own with some of the best horses on a fast track. Portchester started in 23 races last sea son and finished first 7 times. Made Her Owner Rich. Beclare, who made herself famous and H. 'Warnke, St., rich by her performances as a 3-vear-old, started 13 times last year and was successful only 3 times. The standard bearer of the all scarlet, Ruseell, won but 3 out of 12 races in which he started last season. Reckon ran in 2S races last season and was first 11 times. The little seal brown horse Madstone started 20 times in 1891 and passed the post first 10 times. Major Domo, who beat Cassim for the place in last year's Suburban, was success lul in 6 of the 16 races he started iu last season. Judge Morrow was simply run offhis legs last season and was only saved from becom ing an absolute wreck by the stringent rules adopted by the Board of Control against winter racing. He won 6 times out of 35 starts. Kingmaker had a hard campaign last vcar. He ran in 22 races and finished first but twice. Pes.ara ran in 17 different races last year. He was returned a winner nine times. He has beaten Cassius in a trial gallop and is the horse to which the stable will pin its faith to win the bit: event. At a late hour this evening it was raining heavily here. Cincinnati, 5 St. LonI, 4. St. Louis, May 15. Umpire Emslie gave the same to Cincinnati to-day by a rank de cision in tlie seventh inning after two of the Keds were out, enabling tliem to tie tho score.

And he is the most genisl ot fellows. lake ia confident of the team doing first class work during the entire season. IMPORTANT HORSE DEAL. Kingston, tho Famous Kacer, to Go to the Belle Mrado Farm.
