Friday-The Programme for
Today-Other Matters.
The biggest assemblsge of the week
was at the park yesterday to see the
speed programme prepared for the pub
Lie and the ladies' exhibition of eques-
trisn skill. There was an immense
number Of equipages of all sorts on the
ground, the grand stand was crowded,
and the grounds generally were filled
with an eager throng of people.
The first even. was special race, in
tended for PAGERS and trotters mixed.
The PAGERS were conspicuous by their
absence. Four trotters were entered
and they all started. These were w.
W. Whitney's C. m. Nellie Clay, 8, with
out pedigree, driven by her owner; J. B.
Kennedy's b. &. Victor, 6, sire Don Vic

but John was sick and a stranger hold
the straps; L. J. Roses b. m. Mista, 2,
sire Alcazar, driven by Walter May

4, sire Simmonds, dam Lady Rlymon,
driven by her owner. The programme
reared about on the grounds as official

required six efforts to get good start for
the first heat. In the pools Roses blood
was the favorite by big odds, his 2-year-
old selling at $40 to 81 on Lady Raymon's
scion and 81 on all the rest in sight. The
start was Victor, Clay, Raymon, Mista.
At the turn Rsymon was in the lead
we'll, and he kept it to the quarter, Mists
crowding on his wheel. At the half it
was the same, bnt down the
turn they came almost together, a
position they kept nearly all the way
down the stretch, finishing Raymon win

with Victor poor third and Clay away
off. The judges put Raymon back for

This gave the heat to the Rosemead mare,
the Simmonds stallion second, Victor
third; time, 2:S1%. Mutuals paid
$500.
For the second heat Mista brought
$40 in the pools to $40 on the field. A
quick start was made, Mista soon tax
ing the lead and keeping it to the quar-
ter, Raymon going off his feet at inter-
walls and close upon her. The Rose FLY
broke little and the stallion improved
his opportunity to take the lead. At the
half they were close together. They
came down the stretch nip and tuck for
first place, Raymon passing first under
the line head in front of Mista, Victor
. bad third, but getting even that place
easily from Clay. Raymon's breaks
were 30 many that the heat was given
to the mare; time, 2:32. Mutuals paid
$3.45.
It took seven efforts to get the horses
away in the third heat. When the word
Ego" was given, Raymon was the least
bit in the lead, position he hello by a
hard race from Mista to the half.
But before reaching this point the horse
broke, and the mare shot ahead. He
broke again before turning out of the
back stretch. At the three quarters
they were close together, and came down
the stretch side by side, but as they
passed under the wire the mares nose
was nearest the setting sun. The pretty
product Of the Sunny Slope Sultan stock
took the heat, race, and first money.
Raymon got second money and
Victor third. Time, 2:32. The bet
ting was about the same as in the second
heat as to odds, but hardly any of it was
done, as the verdict was already in
favor of Mista:
THREE QUARTER MILE DASH.
The second event of the day was a
three.quarter mile dash for 3-year-olds /;
$40 entrance, $3.50 added. There were
four entries and four starters. These
were: P. G. Dornalech's g. g. Nacho B.,
sire Wanderer, dam Flower Girl, ridden
by Leo Newell: M. A. Forster's Oh. f.
Lomita, sire Kip Springer, dam Lulu
Jackson, ridden by J. Clifford; W. L.
Appleby's g. g. Wild Oats, sire Wild
Idle, dam May Givins, ridden by G.
Hitchcock; and Harry E. Roses b. g. +,
Dan M. Murphy, sire Spectator, ridden
by Joe de Vice. The first
couplet carried each lis pounds and
the others had each up three pounds
more. Before going to the starting post
Judge La Rue called the jockeys to the
Judges stand and told them it must be a
fair race, to make the best horse win
He said there were very loud whispers
that there was a job in the race.
Murphy was the favorite at the pools by
long odds, selling as high as $50 to $40
on Wild Oats, and SIS on the field.
They we're four good horses and it was
hard to tell in a fair race how they
wound pass the wire. The horses were
sent off at the first effort, and good
deal of objurgation on the part of those
backing Nacho B. as Murphy got away
well in the lead. Getting into the back
stretch the horses ran in this order,
Murphy, Nacho, Oats, Lomita. At the
half they were sturng out in this
order. Oats crept up on Nacho
and Murphy, and at one time it looked
like his race. Murphy, however, pushed
ahead and came in the winner with
Oats close up to him, Nacho good third
and Lomita off in the rear. There was a
big kick made at once from the hackers
of Nacho, as it was said that the
''talent" had put up a job, whereas
Nacho B., if squarely ridden, must be the
winner. The time was IT, and it was
claimed that Hacho could cover the
ground in 1:15, or even better. After
consultation, Nacho was ordered into
the custody of Dave Bridges, and the
race to be run off later. The mutuals
paid 80 20 on Murphy for place, with the
straight pools to go over for the decision
of the race.
