! the san Francisco carriageiolks were not out in
| anything like the Numbers that attended the
meeting there, but then in San Jose grass Is
! cheap and everybody Keeps some kind OF con-
| veyance While here the cablecars are so con-
venient and cost nothing in stable bills, that The
| difference Is easily accounted for Saturday
| was a day OF dtsappOlntmelts TO many who

AL FARRow's RUN.
| In the first race ADJ, Colonel Thornton's mare,
! was conSldeIed clnch by many who Temem-
/ oeted her good INNING last fall, but overlooked
that mares are generally unreliable in the spIing
! She had shown uD well In her work, and know
| ing that Tie black aud yellow jacket is always
| out to win, much money was played on her
| chances.
Phny, whose good records at Fresno and San
! Jose showed that he IS a reliable colt was au-
| other one well liked The Stable backed him
| well ana thought him a very likely winner. al
! FaIrow however, had no trouble in winning,
| although he had the heaviest impost and was
! giving weight 10 all the others In the race.
| OVERLOOKING A GOOD ONE.
How such good one, with his back record
| when run 10 WIN, now that he has changed own
| ers ana IS 10 the hands OF people who VIII always
| run INN for all lie Is worth, allowed 10 Start
| al . TO to WIN and 10 for The place, IS one of
those cutiOslties of overlooking form thai are so
| frequent among spectators, and.can only be
counted Tor on The n ouId that The weight of the
| money played GU ALPS and Piny'S chances kept
| hackers off hun. The horse, however, won easily
all lie way and could have gone faster II he had
| been pushed The record Tor the distance is
| l;4f14 made by Elyton IN Chicago, last year with
lO6 pounds I'D
The Rose stable has started out most auspi-

! worth about $3.50 to the owner. FAIRY looked
| IN good order and has evidently trained down
better than the other Youngsters who ran against
| her. The repeated breaking and long delay at
| the post settled the chances of most OF the
| Others though Fairy and her stable companion
| Conrad DID their lair share of skipping around
/ and raced of we'll round The turn whenever the
| lot came up for a seuG-On
| CHOSE A GOOD ONE.
When Mr.. Rose made his selections OF young
sters last year III PaO Alto he evidently did not
pick the worst and leave the best IN taking Faty
| The lalo Alto representative Rinfax Is very big
aud though lie won halfm race at san Jose
Is not al present as good As Fairy nor others that
were in the race. Whatever chances the Hearst
! colts Anarchist aud Yosemite had wee ruined
by the Efforts q Their Jockeys 10 get we'll away,
aud when the nag did faa they were both pumped
out ana could not have won even II they bad got
d hSe-euglh's start. Anarchist got of Tie better
| OF the TWO and showed some speed around the
| turn aud down The slde-strelch, but soon died
| away TO nothing. Yosemite made up a little
| ground from the quarIer-pOst but was not per
| severed with when Morton saw lie could not over
haul lie leaders. Homer is an Improving look
| ing colt and Win a race or two more ought TO be
| winner.
| Tnere was a tip on Minnie B, the Trahern fIly,
! by Prince OF Norfolk. She was a very neat look
! ing chestnut but IS short OF work and LOOKS
| about SIX weeks back In order. A WORD of prAise
! Is due Mr. Boots for his patience in starting such
an uufuIy Iot lie got Them on on good terms
| and gave excellent satisfaction. The betting on
/ tue run was the heaviest OF the day, and the
! Rose supporters won quite largely.
! BAD SEND OFF.
TO get fifteen horses on on equal terms for A
| three-quafter mile dash IS OF course not an easy
| thiug, but 10 drop the flag with tue lot scattered
! over the trace for nearly futloug Is not giving
! all fair show. The send-oh virtually gave the
race TO Ida Glenn and Applause who we're quite
| number OF lengths In front, ana settled Kill
| dare's chances enrctualy. Although the Judges
! declared It dead heat Il looked 10 all those in
! the press stand as II Ida Glenn had won The
! Judges n T. ftau
| hung up lda's number as the winner, aud Then
| alter some elaboration changed It 10 Tie be-
tween her and Applause. Applause was very
! heavily backed, ana considerable outside talk
| was had over the decision.
! LoNGsHoT's CLEVER VICTORY.
Longshors win OF the seven iurlones' spin was
| well received, most OF the public having PLAYED
| him. he ran very reliably and was neatly
! handled by Spooner.
A CRACKING GOOD COLT.
| Elambeau showed again himself a great colt in
| the mile aud quarter run, aud had lie been
| pushed would have come very near the record
| OF course tie race was walk over almost for
him, but his style Of going and action were closely
! watched and most layOraby commented upon
| There IS nothing on the Coast capable of defeat
ing him, aud IL be reaches the East in as good or
uet as lie Is now, he ought To beat every three.
| yeaf-Oid there over distance.
IL IS reported That Mat Allen VIII handle him In
| the East Ii seems To be pity To take this colt
| out Of the bands Of Messfs. Van Gordon and
| Jonathan, the mauager and trainer Of the Hearst
| stables here They are also going East with the
string now racing here ana are TO take Fiambeau
with them when The colt is turned over to them
| by Palo Alto. These TWO gentlemen, who under
| stand l1eir business perfectly and have seen the
colt ali through his twOy year old form, and also
this spring, know something of his pecuIiarries
and constitution. ana would be able TO do better
| with him than stranger could.
| BLOW BUGLE, BLOW
| The substitution OF bugle calls for the clang-
| ing OF ii bell o call up the horses proved very
| satisfactory to the Iublic.
Alb slemler, the weu-known trainer of the
Shippee Stables, was at the track on Saturday.
He has no entries at the present meeting, but

SOMETHING ABOUT TENNY.

iof either do 50 at their own risk. He is entered
| iretty well In all age stakes. and Will have an

sim think he Is tasI for his inches, and nothing
would afford me more pleasure than to put him

SMALL ODDS
! The odds offered by the makers of future
books this year are ridieulOusly small aud it Is a
1 matler OF surprise that people can be found
| foolish enough TO take Them. For instance in
| the Suburban, which viii not be run for over two
| months, Tenny is quoted at to this In the
| face OF the fact that ihlry-eight others are en-
| tered, Inc picked cracks OF lie country and the
| additional fact that lie horse has not had more
