BAD DAY FOR THE PUBLIC. PLEASE only horse approaching FAVORITISM TO WIN AT BRIGHTON. Bad News Takes the Nautilus Selling Stakes Barbary Belle and Jubilee Win by Narrow Margins. Now York, July ."0. Nearly r.,000 patrons of mollis were delayed from thirty to forty minutes 011 tin; way to Brighton Beach today ly a breakdown on tlie Brooklyn Rapid Transit road. Before the overhead trolley lines were repaired the last of tin: Irng procession of t r:i 11 ij i ntr race-goers hail reaehed the course, lresident Fitzgerald was one of the unlucky ones and on aeeount of his failure to he on hand the starling of the first race was held hack until 2:45, or iifleen minutes later than usual. Favorites fared badly today. Please, at post time for the fifth race, on equal footing in the market with All Alone at 2 to 1, was the only victorious public choice. The lacing began witli the success of Barbary Belle, a 10 to 1 chance. Hight 011 top of this upset .lubilee came along and won at the same price. Things brightened up somewhat when Tony Eoncro, a second choice, was able to get home In front, oven if it meant the defeat of Von Tromp, heavily hacked at odils-on. The situation was not quite hopeless when a third choice like l!ad News could make good. Thi public derived hut little benefit over the result or the fifth race, despite the break in winning outsiders. Many fought, shy of little jockey Rob-inson, who had the mount on IMease, and took the worst end or it by supporting All Alone, which steadily receded from ! to 5 to 2 to 1, and performed accordingly. Many hoped to get even on the last race in which Easton, a full-brother to. the famous Reliable, scorned to some to he an outstanding certainly, ami the climax or disaster came with his defeat by Sally IC, another outsider at 11! to 1. This was the worst lay that the speculatively inclined public has experienced this season. The Nautilus Selling Stakes, at a mile and a sixteenth, was the feature of. the card. Acrobat, from R. F. Carmans stable, was the medium of heavy betting at. evens, but performed far below expectations. Hidden by K. Dugan, lit! retired early, leaving the issue to Itad News anil Pretention. The latter ran unkindly in the closing struggle and was lucky to save second place. Moonshine, probably the best horse in the race, finished third, securely pocketed behind the swerving Chinn horse. The tabled history of the Nautilus Stakes is as follows: Year. Winner. Wt. Jockey. Yal. Time. 1S05 .Monaco 11. Hamilton . .$ 030 1:50 J SJC. Premier 110 II.

She ran on the extreme outside throughout and at the head ot the stretch seemed hopelessly out or the raee as far as winning was concerned. She came like a streak :it the finish and not one spectator in a thousand could make out which it was. Jubilees win was also on the sensational order.
