day, only about 500 visitors being present
at the track. Some increase was noticed
in the presence of the San Francisco d.
vision, many of the regular race-goers COM
ing down on early trains.
The favorites captured the two first
events, then the short enders came in ahead,
thus equalizing things, though many who
had won on Daisy d and Faustine dumped
themselves on Muta and got deeper into the
mud trying to square themselves on Sun
day. The officials we're: Judges, s. 5.
Montgomery, w. Buckley and Jesse d. Carr.
The timers we're Messrs. Jefferson, Park
and starter, W. H., Coombs. Before the
races commenced HaZiett bought Jou Jou
for $500, and now has the horse in his
stable.

faced the starter. Daisy D was a strong
favorite in the betting at $50 against 50 for
Orc and S14 for the field. Oro's followers
based their hopes of winning on Monahan
more than on the horse, but they were dis
appointed. as he was out of the hunt at the

race, but Daisy d was in great shape, and
had no trouble in landing the money.
After one break-away, Jubilee and Daisy
acting cranky at first. they got the flag, with
Daisy well back. RaindrOp made the run
ming, with Orc second, to the one-eighth
pole Daisy was still last At the half

lee, who was very vigorously hustled along
by HaZlett. Orc was three lengths back of
Jubilee, and Raindrop last. Time. :29A
1t was good run. Mutuals paid $3.50.
THE SECOND CONTEST.
For the Laurelwood stake. sweepstakes
for all ages, SIS entrance, with $780, one
and an eighth miles, Palo Altos b. +. Faust
tine Q12), Narvlce; Welcome Q26l, Morton,
and Jack Brady Q3I, Monahan, came out to
do battle. On Faustine's recent form the
race looked like gift for her. and the
plungers did not hesitate TO put up S25 for
her against So for the field. The two ladies
of the party were very unruly at the post,
Welcome hurting herself Faustine also
followed Welcomes bad example, and run
him off his feet. After some de-
lay they were caught in happy
mood and all got off at once. Passing the
stand there was no choice between the
three and they ran in this order to the one
quarter pole, then Faustine opened half a
length ana the mare led by a length with
Brady and Welcome on even terms. Round
the turn Brady was stirred up by Monahan
and drew away from Welcome. From there
on it was an easy thing for Faustine who,
coming on, won easily by a length from
Brady, who was the same distance in front
of Welcome. Time, 1853. Mutuals paid Sc,
an interest of only one dollar on an invest
ment of five. This made a procession of
five straight favorites in two days racing,
and IL was about time for the McGinty
epidemic TO set in. 1t arrived on time for
the seventh race. Down went the Muta
aud the Baggage holders to the bottom OF
the coal hole.
THE FAvoRITE IN THE THIRD BEATEN
The starters-Palo Altos oh. f. Muta, l13.
Narvice; Kelly 81 Samuels' b. G. Pliny,
11S, Monahan; and George Hearsts CHI. c.
Baggage, lis, Morton-came out for the
third race, the La Molle House stakes for
three-year-0lds, SIS entrane, with S175
added, one mile. His hackers reasoned
OF 1t with 30 pounds up, at seven-eIghths
last Saturday in his mile run with Faust
inc, to-day with 10 pounds up more he was
out of the race. AS to Baggage, last Satur-
day he ran a good second to Racine.
defeating Mgta, and when he came
out he looked in grand order, coryet-
Ing and dancing around in the best of
spirits. 1t looked as if the colt had a good
chance to Win. Muta's friends reasoned
that on Saturday in Racine's race she was
ridden by minor jockey, and that having
no chance to best Racine, she was not per-
severed with. To-day, however, she had
FIVE pounds the best ;of weights, and with
Narvice to ride her, her winning WAS con-
sidered most probable. So Muta and Bag
gage believers had regular set-tO in the
poUl-boX, Muta bringing S45 and Baggage
SIS, with Pliny retailing to not very en-
thuslastic friends at SIC. A great deal of
money went into the pool-box at this.
The first attempt saw the trio off ON good
terms Then Muta and Baggage went like
double team up to the quarter, with Pliny
rating along easily behind. Just past the
quarter Baggage's tail went up and down
went the hopes of his hackers when this
generally infallible sign of having had
enough. of 1t was seen, but Baggage drew
up again. after falling back length. and
the leaders were even again at the half,
with Pliny still length behind. They
turned the bend in the same
order, and then Monahan took PIiny
up and they were all punched at the three
quarter pole, with Baggage whipping and
just getting ready TO retire. Into the stretch
Pliny came along fast and led by length,
Muta whipping. Narvice did his best, but
PIny. running very gamely and well
handled by Monahan, went handily, aud
won by half a length from Muta, who was
ridden out. Baggage was three lengths back.
Time, :43b.
The result is the first defeat of the year
for the Palo Alto stable, and it came from
a quarter least expected, as through Faus-
tine IL Was thought that clear line on
Pliny's chances with Muta had been OBJ
tanned. The mutuals paid 50 on fields
against Muta.
AN EXCITING CONTEST.
The next, the Milpitas stake, S25 en-
trance, S175 added, half-mile heats, class
of race that generally is surprise or an
| event that causes much dissatis faction, was

gramme, and for it 9. Lymau's b. h. Pain

Sunday, 1l2. Hazlett, faced the flag. An
| extra copper riyted, double-distilled tip on
| Sunday as dead sure winner was strewn
two feet deep all over the track, and all the
talent, to their sorrow, fastened to get
some OF the good thing. They paid $40 for
| Sunday and got S12 against it for the field.
Alter one breakaway they we're sent off
with Carmen and Sunday in the lead. Be-
fore they had gone fifty feet Carmen led by
a length. They were even around the turn
and went to the quarter pole with Sunday
slightly in the lead, in the fast time of PAN,
Painkiller Two lengths back. On the up
stretch it looked as if Sunday could
not close with Carmen, being under
heavy drive, with Murphy whip
ping for all he was worth. Hazlett
took things rather easy, never thinking
Carmen would stand it. but she did, and
coming again just ripped Sunday on the
| post. and made dead heat of it in the hot
time Of 4Sh. Painkiller was three lengths
OFF. The mutuals were divided and paid
the field 81 and Sunday $3.50. Thus if a
| player had bought both ends in the mu-
tuals he was winner of so cents.
| The judges were not satisfied with
| NewePs riding, and took him off Painkiller
and put Narvice on. In went money into
the poolbox for the second heat at $50 for
the field, Carmen and Painkiller, against
$40 for Sunday. The start was a struggling
one, PainkilIer slipping his horses by
three lengths. Carmen and Sunday, jostled
nearly thrown down. PaiIkiller had no
trouble in going to the quarter in 241s-
more fast time-and winning, hands down,
from Sunday by two lengths in 40, Carmen
