Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-08-11

while campaigning IN the norCnerl
citrus belt, and Origin has thu
doubtful honor of being perhap
the most useless thoroughbred race hors'
in the United States. Neither anima
was expected to stay the course, and al
uncertainty is the life of gambling, bet
ting between the two was fast and furi
Gus, each speculator fancying that the
opposing steed would Aurely break down
McGinnis, the favorite, jumped away Al
the fall of the flag, and making the run
ming as fast as his disabled condition
would allow, and won by about an eighth
of mile, Origin making most disgrace
full exhibition of himself.
CARMEN AGAIN VICTORIOUS.
The second race brought out good
field, and speculation on his event was
very brisk, each animal having hosts Of
admirers. Carmen settled down favorite,
with Idalene Cotton second choice,
Carmalita and the Field being equally
fancied The start was delayed
by that uncertain tempered mare Sprey
who repeatedly refused to join her field
when the flag fell, Carmen, Johnny Grey
and Heliotrope got away in front, ,lthe
other three couple Of lengths in the
rear. Johnny Grey made the pace hot
one to the half, where the field began to
close up and at the three-quarters they
were all punched. Entering the straight
Johnny Grey still led, with Carmen Sec
ond, but as soon as Hitchcock called on
his mount, she rushed to the head of
affairs. An eighth of mile from home
Carmen had her race won and terrific
struggle for second place ensued between
Heliotrope and Johnny Grey, the filly
getting it by short head. This was de-
cidedly one of the prettiest races of the
meeting, and the success of Appleby's
colors was greeted with loud applause.
The extra ive'eighths mile dash,
contrary to expectation resulted
in the closest finish of the meet
ing, a dead heat for first place and
head only between the dead heaters
and the third horse. The flag fell to a
good start, Naicho B. being slow on his
feet, getting little the worst of it.
Futuriiy and Fandango raced together to
the three-quarter pole, with Naicho B.
we'll up. Entering the straight, Naicho
B. closed up, and ding-dong race up
the straight ensued, first one and then
the other getting their heads in front.
A length from the wire Naicho B. was
front, but Hitchcock got Futurity up in
the last stride and made a dead heat of
it, Fandango a head behind. After the
usual interval, the horses again went to
the post. The flag fell to an even start,
but Futurity was Immediately sent to the
front as fast as she could 60, Naicho B.
trailing two lengths behind. Futurity
led into the stretch, where Naicho B.
made his effort, and Appleby's colt being
in trouble 200 yards from home, the Los
Angeles gelding won a well contested
race by half length.
THE ROSE STABLE TRIUMPHANT.
The four-year-old trotting stake was an
easy task for l.. J. Roses useful b. g.
Dubec, who defeated his solitary oppo-
nent, Ella, in three straight heats.
| Alfred S. was much too fast for his op-
ponents in the 2 20 class, and Mr.. w. H.
Scale must be congratulated on the pos
sion of the handsome and even trotting
son of Elmo.
| The two-year-old trotting stakes show
ed perhaps the best two-year-old trOtter
now in America, and her time in the Sec
ond heat equals the famous record of
Shamrock, and is only 81 seconds worse
than the great record of Wildfower,
2:2115. This great performance by the
daughter of Electioneer will go long
way to com pensate the Palo Alto Stud
for their bad luck during the week, as
she has excelled even the expectations
of her trainer. She won the race some
what easily, but not by any means with
out an effort, as L. j. Roses fine looking
filly, Vesolia, whom there was occasion
to praise yesterday, was but scant
length behind her in the first heat, and
was only beaten two lengths in the Sec
end heat, in the marvellous time of :25.
