The morning call., 1890-09-18

Shelton simply demonstrated that while he
may be a most estimabie gentleman he GER
tainly is not a born starter, finally, to give
them little let up, Applause cast plate.
All the jockeys dismounted while the loss
was replaced. At last, on the twenty
fourth b-eakaway. PeIi, Picnic and
ant starters flag had not fallen.
The others pulled up and then
leisurely pursued the leaders. At the stand
Peel led, with Picnic second, LurliEe third.
All eased up, and several otficlouS ru0oeIS
rushed up and yelled: go on, 90 on; IT'S
a start" Accordingly the flying two went
along, and the three at the post also came
uD. Carmen leading, and Applause
and Tycoon under an easy lope;
They finished in this order. A howl

For this fine of 500 was assessed to her
owners. The judges realized the serious
nature OF the situation. Had they decided
otherwise than they did. riot would have
occurred and serious trouble followed:
After a long elaboration the judges decided
TO call it no race rated the jockeys for their
carelcssnesS in not watching the assistant
starters flag and announced that the race
would be run over at the conclusion OF
qupled all the trouble, and everybody eX-
cept the Peel people felt satisfied that the
interests of the public who alone support
the racing, were to be protected. WHAT
would have been in order Tor the
Judges TO have done at once was
resolved on by them after further delibera-
ton, and this was the only Just aud honest
course, of declaring all bets of. Henry
Walsh, trainer of the Palo Alto stable, filed
protest against the decision, claiming the
race for Peel 1t was dsregarded. Starter
Shelton went into the stand and stated that
he had lowered his flag to start:
also that he was so Disguised with the bust
ness that he would not handle the nag any
more. His resignation was accepted and
c. S. CTittendOn from then on sent the CON-
petltors of on satisfactory terms. Monroe
johnson, who has handled the assistant
starter flag at all the previous meetings,
most satisfactorily replaced SheltOn's as
sistant, whose work has not so far during
the meeting proven the best in the market.
CLOSE CONTEST.
The Palo Alto stake. a handicap for two
year-olds. six furl0ngS, was the next ON the
programme and had for starters Conrad
l15, Borell; and Duke of Milpitas, 105, Rosa.
Conrad sold for $40 in the pools and the
Duke for SIS. 1t proved the closest con-
tested event of the day. On the first
come up start was effected. Both
were even up at the quarter, at the hall and

to the wire; the Duke caught the whip up
to the eighth but held on to Conrad. Borel
then very cleverly closed uD on the Duke
just sufficient to prevent Ross using his
whip and won in well hard-Tldden finish
by neck in 10.
PURSE DIVIDED.
A purse of 500, for three-year-0lds and
| upward, one mile, brought out as starters:
Take Notice, 105; Jackson, 10Y; Initiation,
102; Alfaratta, I'D; Captain Al, 1l2; Leland,

were off. with jackson in the lead.
Jackson led at the half Alfaratta second,
the rest punched. In the stretch it
was jackson, Alfaratta, Take Notice.
! Notice and jackson were nearly level at
the draw bridge, and a sharp finish ensued,
the leaders going under the wire even up
In 1:42A, Alfaratta was third. ltiwas de-
| cided by the owners OF jackson and Take
| Notice not to run off the race, and to divide
| the money.
AN EASY VICTORY.
There were eight starters for the purse of
| $500, all ages, one mlle-Four Aces I'D
Daisy D 119, Peregrne 10, Rico I'D, Fanny

start was made on the first trial, with
the way, and won easily by four lengths

THE POSTPONED RACE.
Henry Walsh reconsidered his determin-
alton to start Peel, and all the six original
starters came to the post for the postponed
| race. They were sent off on the second trial
| with Peel in the lead, Applause second,
| Carmen third and Tycoon last AT the
quarter and half it was the same.
Then Lurline moved up and at the three
quarters there was little to choose between
ha rTVpOon nOder the whin tn
the half and three-quarters, but did Lot re-
spOnd and ran very different race indeed to
his previous efforts. Peel and Applause were
first and second at the mile. In the stretch
Peel clearly had the race in hand and Won
easily by length from Applause, Carmen
| third, three lengths back. Time, 2;09. In
the new betting Tycoon sold at $50, Peel
| at 500, the field 500.
SATISFACTORY DECISION.
The thanks of the public are due to the
| judges, Messrs. LaIue, Green and Carr, aud
especially Mr.. Larue, for the course pur-
sued in the mile and quarter race. These
gentlemen recognize the fact that it is the
admission fees of the public that support
| horse-racing from top to bottom aad not
| the gamblers who work the pools
and mutual boxes. Take away the
| confidence of the public and there would net
| be another horse-race in the country. For
| proof all that is needed is a look at the con-
| ditiOn Of racing in San Francisco, where not
500 people can be got together to see even
| Sunol trot, and all through the
lack of confidence of the public
| In this connection it may be
well to draw the attention, as has already
| been done by TIE CALL for several past
| fairs and at the commencement ct the
| present one TO the numerous complaints
made by the public against the returns
| on the winners in the Paris mutual
| boxes. These may or may not be
| well-fOunded, but, as has been suggested by
| The CALL, if judge was appointed by the
Directors to closely watch each of the three
boxes and verify the figuring with the head
clerk of the boxes, and then that the
results be officially certified to by
the Directors, much ill feeling would
be avoided. There has been so many
objections 10 the winnings paid out all
through the circuit that the course, which
would be perfectly acceptable to the lessees
Of the mutual privileges, should.b be at once
taken. The expense would be SO slight In
nearly every race that it needs only to be
suggested again to be at once adopted.
