There was q great crowd present ut
the Bay District course yesterday to
witness the often postponed four-mile
and repeat race for the 10000 purse.
The rush from town began by 9 A. NJ,
and by one o'clock p. M. it was esti-
mated that $1,000 people were inside
the park, and o than that on the
surrounding enlinences. A large force
of police was on the ground and good
order was maintained. There wal con-
siderable delay over the preliminaries,
and the borses were not called for the
start until nearly 8 o'clock. Katie
Pease had the inside position, Ruther-
ford I'd, Foster Sd, Hockhocking 4th,
Chance 9th, Revenue, Jr., 9th, and
Golden Gate outside. The horses got
of at the third attempt, Katie Pease
slightly ahead. On the first turn
Chance led, Hockhocking q length
behind, Golden Gate, Revenue, Katie
Pease, Foster and Rutherford follow
ing - named. On the back stretch

Hockhocking, third; Golden Gate.
fourth; Pease, Revenue and Chance,
way behind. After considerable do.
lay the judges gave the Leaf to Foster:
Rutherford, second; and to the aston
ishment of every one declared all the
rest distanced. The latter part OF the
decision created great Dissatisfaction.
Those who We're In the vicinity of the
distance stand with unanimity testify
that Woodworking and Golden Gate
we're both inside when the flag fell,
and Hockhockins saved his distance
by six or eight lengths. The decision
was considered rs y dodge to save the
club the third and fourth money. Fos-
tor now went up in the pools two to
one, Ru~therford's supporters hedging.
On the second heat, = false start was
made and the jockeys ven round the
track before discovering the mistake.
The second start was got off even.

aud throughout the mile maintained it,
the two running nearly all the mile

this position; time, 2:03. The second
mile was q repetition of this, with the
exception that the pace was mended
and the mile made in 1853; Foster

time being more than q length and a
half ahead. He passed under the wire
ct the end Of the second mile a neck and
shoulder ahead. The third mile was a
repetition ofthe second time. :54, Foster
