TEE TURF
Last LAY of thu Blood-Eorse Races at
Agricultural Park.

There was fine attendance at the Park
yesterday. The Society priies itself on
keeping contracts and starting on time, so
that people can depend on it. It, however,
fell down yesterday, and left the people to
swelter and wait twenty minutes before
vigorous effort was made to start the horses.
The excuse was that one of the riders thought
he was ordered to report on the track at
lis. notwithstanding the order read. that
the race should .sstart " at lila. The Blood
Horse Association should furnish that kind
of riders with a reminder they will not
forget. It is to be noted, however that this
Association has been more prompt through
O season than any that has ever had charge
here. Hay it keep up its lick The first
race was the RECORD. UNION stake for two

The next race was for purse Of Sl25, of
which s25 to go to second. Heats OF one
mile for four-year. olds and under. Winners
of heat races at Oakland and of three-fourth
mile heats at this meeting five pounds extra
if also at Oakland. seven pounds. The con.
testants were J. B. Chase's Winnifred and
Norris Bros.'s Minnie Norris. The former
at the POLE. They started about even; Nor
ris leads at the eighth, and Winnifred soon
comes up and takes the lead by half length.
Upon approaching the quarter they go finely,
neck and neck, Norris under strong pull.
At the half Norris leads, in spite of the pull.
At the three fourth they were side by side,
and came down the stretch waveringly,
and both pulled; soon after pass
ing the draw-gate, Winnifred suddenly
let up and Norris cut In and took The poie
very quickly. and both only about logged to
the score. From the upper turn to the score
it was evident that Winnifred's rider had
such instructions to lay up that he was con-
fused concerning it. and the result was per
fectly evident attempt not to take the heat.
There was an unanimous exclamation OF dis
gust at the outcome. The judges gave Nor.
ris the heat-time, 1:46I-and reserved their
opinion as to the matter of complaint. he
second heat was started with Norris strait ht
in the lead. but they did not fairly begin TO
run until approaching the quarter. The boys
sat up this time, especially the one on Nor ls,
and did not throw his weight on the reln-
manifestly as before. The approach to tn
half was made with Winnifred leading by
half length, but they went around the turn
neck and neck at the three,quarter "lnnl'
fred was still Leading, when the whip
was applied to Norris, and she stead
lily gained to the draw-gate, which
she passed ahead by half a length, which she
kept to the score, taking the heat and race IL
1:i7J. The judges announced their decision
in tue matter of the first beat by fning the
rider of Winnifred, Whitlock. SO, and rul-
ing Thomas Jones, trainer of Winnifred oil
the track, the reason being understood to be
that he had advised the boy to lay up and
lose the race, which had been willingly com.
piled with. The audience evidently regarded
the punishment as very mild one.
