The next race gave promise of rare sport.
for all ages, threc-quarter mile heats, in
which the following five horses were
started i'll the order named: Jou Jou,
Forest King. Jim Douglas Bryant W and
BeacOnSiield The horses were all in
prime condition. Pools sold: Douglas, $50:
Forest King, SO; Field, $3.50.
The horses were started well together at
the quarter-pole and ran the first quarter
all in bunch. On the upper turn Doug
las and Jou Jou run side by side 1t was
close race between Forest King and Doug
las on the homestretch, Douglas winning
by about half a length in 1:15, BeacOns-
field third, Jou Jou fourth, Bryant W dis
tanced. After this heat the sporting class
gathered around the poOl-box, and pools
sold rapidly. The following is an average
Forest King, $3.50; Jim Douglas, 1910
field 5000. Afterwards Douglas sold favor
ite. and before the horses were called up to
start the field sold even with the favorites
Douglas showed considerable lameness,
but this did not seem in the least
to discourage his hackers. They said he
would warm out Oft. The lameness seemed
to be in his left fore leg and was occasiOned
by a cracked hOof. On the third attempt
the horses were started very evenly. They
ran the first quarter in a bunch in "a; from
there jim Douglas gradually fell behind
his lameness telling on him. Forest King
and Beaconstield came into the home
stretch side by side, the latter crossing the
score about two lengths ahead, Jou Jou
third, Jim Douglas fourth. Time, 1:15l.
After the time had been announced the
judges decided that all four horses should
start for the next heat This created CON
siderable dissatisfaction, many claiming
that only the winners of heat, Jim Doug
las and Beaconslield, should be allowed to
start, and protest, accordingly
wa; was made, Those who protested
rules, which reads as follows: In heats,
one, two, three or four miles, horse not
winning one heat in two shall not start for
third, unless such horse shall have made
dead heat excepting as provided in rule
30" Rule 80 relates to dead heats.
The judges held to their decision, saying
there was no rule governing three-quarter-
mile races. 1t was discretionary with the
judges, and they held that all the horses >
must start.
There was considerable excitement
around the pool-box Immediately after the
heat was over when it was announced that |
tn judges had decided that all but |
Beac0nsfeld and jim Douglas must 90 to |
the stable. One gentleman, relying on
that statement, bought pool ON Beacons- |
field against the field, paying therefor $500
and only getting so against it. After !
the Judges decision, which by large ma
jority Of turf men was considered arbitrary
and wrong, the buyer of the pool was loud |
in his denunciation of the judges, claiming
that their decision was nothing short OF
robbery.
jim Douglas became so lame before the |
start Of the heat. that he walked with the !
greatest difficulty. Still the judges insisted
on his going, and he was saddled.
The horses were started very evenly for
the next heat Forest King and Beacons- |
field ran together, with Jou Jou close up. |
jim Douglas lamcIy salloping away in the |
rear. BeacOnsiield won handiiy Forest |
King second, Jou Jou third, Jim Douglas |
fourth. Time, 1:lGl.

The horses were started from the seven
cighths pole. Rondo acted very badly, and |
was with great difficulty induced to go back
to the starting point. He ran through Il
crowd, near the cattle stalls, and acted very
refractory. After several unsuccessful at
tcmpts the horses were tapped off rather
sragglingly.
Tie Duke Of Monday took the lead and
won the heat in 1:5Si The judges declared
it had to be run over again, from the fact
that one Of the horses was over the score
when the flas was dropped. This an
nouncement caused the greatest confusion;
was applauded by some and hissed
by others Judge Mem. Shafter ordered
the horses to the score again with
