THE gAcEs-A LIVELY CONTEST AND
EXCELLENT SPORT.

anoe at the Turf Club races yesterday. 1t
was splendid day. The contest was one Of
the most exciting, and at times carried the
spectators up to cheers and huzzas, and on
the quarter-stretch made division of opinion
that kept things just boiling. The race was
Nickals named b. h. Jimmy, Daniel AIcCarty
named b. m. Cassie Mack, Ben. Timmons
named b.. G. Captain Jinks, Wilbur f.
Smith named blk 5. Berlin. At the
pool.s.and Berlin was warm favorite
at so, with Mack at 81 so and the field
at So, 81 and So. 1t was known
that the horses were all of good stock, young,
in fine condition and in ambitious hands.
The belief prevailed-justly, too-that the
race was for blood, and that it was meant
the best horse should win. Jinks won the
pole, Jimmy second, Mack third, and Berlin
outside. In the first heat Jinks led around
the first eighth mile, Mack and Berlin next,
side by side. At the quarter Mack went
good second, but ran at the half mile pole.
Berlin closed up finely on the homestretch,
but broke as he entered il. Mack came up on
the last turn, soon took the lead and
kept it. The animals came to the wire

took a rise at the pool box, but Berlin's
| friends did not desert him. Much criticism
was made of Jink's style of going, as he often
skipped so badly as to amount to break.
His supporters claimed it to be only chang
ing Of sides y in his gait, and no breaking at
all. Throughout the race this action of the
horse created warm feeling. The judges uni
| formly held it to be running, ana punished it
as such In one heat Jinks made over
thirty of these skips, and in another
fourteen between the half-mile post
and the score - both by actual count.
This skipping business was go pronounced in
the last heat, and so clearly to the horses
gain, that even those who were blowing the
Judges sky high in anything but gentle words
and tones, had to confess that IL was rather
queer tretting," but held that the horse
should have been ruled out at first. The
Judges were firm, aid there is no question
but that their judgment was correct.
In the second heat Mack led, Jinks second.
Mack broke and ran on the second quarter.
jerks led at the quarter and all the way
round Berlin broke and ran 10 yards or
more on the last upper turn. Jinks took this
heat, Mack second, Berlin being placed third
for running, Jimmy last. Time, 2:904.
The pools varied now, and Jinks in the
field was brief favorite. A recognized good
and fast animal, he had nanny friends, and
but for his breaking would have made the
race very uncomfortable for Berlin.
The third heat opened with Jinks leading,
Mack breaking. and Berlin, too. At the
halfinile post Berlin came up finely, but
Mack ran again. Jinks kept up his breaking
or skipping, times without number. They
reached the wire Berlin and Jinks neck and
neck the latter, perhaps, shade ahead, but
he was set back to third place, the heat given
to Berlin, jimmy second, Mack fourth.
Time, 1921.
The fourth heat was given to Berlin, though
he came second, Jinks being taken from first
and placed fourth for running. Mack had
second and Jimmy third place. Time, 2.34.
In the fifth heat ,Jinks led again. Berlin sec

thereupon proceeded to arrange for trotting

purse of $3.50, entrance fee to be added. The

ditions settled upon Dan McCarty names

CoULDNr GET IT. Yesterday afternoon a
tall, rawbCned fellow with strong raral in
nocence, raised to high tension with sur
plus of bad whisky, and with a .self-styled
hat, light-colored, broam brim, green-lined,
and finished off with characteristic turn-up
across the back, presented himself at police
headquarters and inquired for the Chief. He
had evidently been to the picnic the day be-
fore. and as evidently could not read. Upon
the Chief responding that he was the person
inquired for, the interviewer handed him a
card. which proved t. be a picnic pass, and
was stamped on one side, "St. Rose Church,
Sacramento, Cal, May ., 1885," with Rev
Z. Seaman " in script across it diagonally,
and on the other side was written in pencil,
please kick the bearer out of the
station" After looking it over MIR. Karcher
wanted to know what lie wanted, and
the visitor replied that "a man at
the picnic sent me here with this card and
said you would give me something, and |
want to get it." The Chief tool, in the situa-
ton and replied that he guessed he had moth
ing for hin, but the man insisted upon COM
pliance with the card. He said he couldn't
read, but that he didn't want any fooling !:
that he had been sent for something, and he
wanted it. The Chief said, " | hate like the
mischief to carry this order into execution,
and you had better walk out" The stranger
became sudd.nly disg,ssted and struck out
for saloon, where he could get something
that he did want. About an hour later Off
GERS Ferral and Rider found him blind drunk
and stretched fun length on his back upon
the walk on J street, and with vigorous size
supports succeeded in transferring him to the
station house. As they arrived he recognized
the place aud sail, Now, see here fhic)
damn You; You drove me (hic) away from

you're going to lhic) take me back Why
