and the result proved that they were
right. The start was extremely good,
the horses getting away in line. After
the Duchess filly had made the III nning
for half the distance, she was passed by
Florella and Rettie B., but Florella fell
back on entering the stretch, and coming
up the straight it looked as if the
Duchess filly would easily overhaul the
leader. Hennessy, however, was too
weak to get the last ounce out of his
mount, and a close race home resulted
in clever victory for Rettie BLY,, half
length, Florella third, beaten a neck.
A fine field came to the post for the
Southern Pacific Handicap. and large
crowd gathered around the pool box,
anxious to back their fancies. There
we're great many tips out on the race.
Albert Casper had brought down Cannie
Scot with this particular race in view.
Dan Dennison thought he had sure
thing in G. W., Pete DoinaleCh could not
see how Narcho B could be beaten,
while the Baldwin contingent we're very
sweet on Lillita. Cannie Scot WAS in
stalled favorite, but every horse in the
race was backed up for big money.
Alter one or two breaks away,
caused by the unwillingness of Lillita
to Join her field, and the over-esgerness
of Dams boys to get away from il, the
flag fell to a beautiful start, the eight
horses entering the stretch like a
squadron of cavalry. Young Dennison
Immediately sent G. w. to the front and
cut out the work at pace which soon
caused the field to tail out. g. W. Lii
lita, John Treat and Cannie Scot were in
the front rank and at the quarter post G.
w. led by two lengths, Naichto B. second
and Cannie Scot occupying good posi-.
ton third, the rest we'll punched, Four
Aces, who was decidedly off, trailing. G..
w. still led at the half, where Cannie Scot
moved into second place. Cannie Scot
closed up the gap entering the stretch,
and sailing along, went on and won
easily by two lengths, G. W. defeating
John Treat for second place by half a
length. Lillita, who ran very respect
ably, was close up fourth. The victory
of Cannie Scot seemed to be very propu.
lar and was greeted with rousing cheers
The result of this race was exactly as
predicted by "Anglice" in yesterday
mornings HERALD, and those who fol
lowed his tips and backed Rettie B. fol
the place in the first race must have good
reason to congratulate themselves. The
20 trotting race had to be postponed
after four heats had been trotted, and i
will be finished this afternoon, starting
at P. N. promptly.
| The racing throughout the Afternoon
was the best ever seen in the city, and
under the arrangements made by the
Directors OF the Southern California
Racing Club, everything passed off il

with the ability which he displayed yes

have to mourn his loss, as his reputation
will become national.
