At the Bay District track Saturday there
was Il chilly breeze and still more frlgld log
at times drifting in from the heads: Inc
track TOO. was not in as good condition as
II IsnoIIv is. being rather deep, and in
nlaces a little soft from the wctting, which
reouired sunshine to remedy. 1t was safe,
however. and though perhaps couple OF
seconds slow, the course might be termed
better than the day for the trotters TO show
their quality. The main race was for e
purse of $500, pa class, the starters Anteeo,
Mag,laliah. &. b. and Cairo. AT the first
opening of the pool sales Anteeo was the
fayorite at odds of $50 on him to $l4 on
Magdallah, and 81 on the field. After
ward Magtialah was the tavOrite, bringing
$50. to ST on Anteeo and 81 ON the field.
The scoring was very tedious. Twenty
times they came up without the signal.
The twenty-tirst a very good start was
gwen Anteco had the pole, with Magdal-
lah second, b. B. third and Cairo on the
outside 1t was sharp contest between
Anteeo and Magdallah, the latter making
break when half way around the first turn.
She recovered quickly, but when the quar-
ter pole was passed Anteeo led a length, the
time at that point being SO seconds. The pace
was faster along the backstretch, and at the
half-mile pole in 1:10l Anteeo led two
lengths, MagdaIah second, the others far
in the rear. Anteeo rather increased his
lead around the turn, and when fairly
Strengthened into the homestretch 1t was
evident that barring an accident, ne had
the heat won. Magdallah made a game
struggle, but even the slight chance she had
was upset when she made break at the
drawgate, Anteeo jogging home i'll 2:2i; b.
b. third and Cairo fourth.
THE FOOLS.
4 fter the heat pools were: Anteeo $50,
Magdallah SIS, the field 81. Hickok sur
rendered his seat behind Magdallah, and
there was a change of drivers 10 pilot b. b.
This gave the hackers OF Anteeo renewed
courage, and before the horses were called
for the second heat the rates increased in
his favor. For this heat there was little
scoring, the fourth attempt resulting in Il
very good "send off. The contest for this
heat was between Anteeo and Il. B., Mag
dallah having broken and fallen back so
far in the first quarter that she was virtually
out of the race notwithstanding that b.
g. INDUCED in several running breaks,
Antcco led him handily to the quarter i'll
80 seconds, to the half III 1:13, and home
III 2:26 Cairo third and Magdallah last
The pool-selling was at an end. AnteeO
HtNlilS SHOWN SUCH Il ucttuet SipcllOiIty
that there were none to bet against him.
The third heat was somewhat peculiar, the
starting Judge ringing the recall bell to
keep them together when approaching the
score. When under the wire 3. +. was an
open length in the lead of Anteeo, Magdal-
lah parallel with him when the gong
sounded the signal to start. Cairo also had
the best of the start and he improved it by
taking the lead, Anteeo was forced to pull
back and 90 to the extreme outside, Cairo
passing the quarter pole first in 80! sec
onds, and was first at the half in l;l5.
After passing that point Anteeo ranged
alongside the leader, carried him to break
and finished at his leisure i'll 2;29.
