SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-The unex-
pected turn of the first heat produced an
excitement that could only find vent at
the. pools, and consequently the sales
sprung to o high figure, pandipg the sec.
ond heat. The friends Of ThadF rallied
promptly to his support an d freely backed
their. opinion oi his speed and endurance
with coin. The impression prevailed that
the rider OF Thad.! refined him In during
the entire run, and simply strovenot to be
distanced. The horse elwaal In fine condi.

plauded as vigorously;as though he was

The crowd is decreasing at this time, as
Is evident by the long line oil teams headed
for the city and the broken string OF pc
destrians, though the weather Is still soft
and balmy and cool breeze from the
ocean sweeps over the track. The con
test seems to have lost its attractions for
many during the second mile, and 10 one
of the last the nags divided the honors
with q startled haze, whose frantic efforts
to escape from the track distracted the at
tention Of the spectators and caused deal
Of merriment. The animal distanced his
pursuers. Thus far the. order, consider
Ing the character OF the exhibition and
the crowd In attendance, has been excel
lent, no rows worthy of notice having oc.
Cured. The pool selling was again re-
sumed after the determination OF the
second heat, but the bidding was not as
brisk as previously, although number Of
heavy pools were made up True Blue
was now the favprite, with the second
choice alternating between ,Thad. Stevens
and Daniels. Tho ratio between the first
and second choice was about 4 to3. At
this time the crowd commenced, thinning
out 10 moderate extent, many desiring
to escape the inevitable jam Of q general
retreat. The result Of the race at this
juncture seemed matter OF profound IN.
certainty. Old turfmen stroked their
boards when questioned as 10 the proba-
billty, and merely expressed an opinion
that things were very much mixed.

the first mile and crosses the score two
