SAN JOSE, April S.-To-day's perfect
weather brought out quite large number
of race-goers to the track to see the horses
at work early in the morning. Those who
went were fully rewarded for the long trip
by seeing the TWO Palo Alto crack colts,
Flambeau and Racine, do some work at ex-
ercise that in a race W ould be considered
good showing. Henry Walsh, the supern-
tendent and trainer of the running division
Of the Palo Alto Stock Farm, sent out
Flambeau. Racine, Godfrey, Faustine and
Muta on the track about o'clock. All
worked we'll, Flambeau and Racine particu-
larly so.
RACINE AND FLAMBEAU,
Then Racine, with 120-pound boy up,
was sent mile and quarter. He started
off somewhat slow. but increased his speed
at the first quarter, and in frst-class style
ratified off the distance in 2:11h.
Then Flambeau, with 115 pounds up, was
sent the same distance. He commenced
faster than Racine and moved smoother and
easier. The great colt was feeling good and
went striding along like steam-engine.
The mile was made at a good rate, which
was slightly reduced in the last quarter, and
the watches stopped at 2:10A for the run.
with shoes ON. Flambeau pulled up full of
go, and if there is an Eastern colt that can
beat him, that piece of horseflesh is worth
his weight in gold.
TIE BAY DISTRICT ENTRIES.
The only two-year-olds of the regular
Palo Alto string that will start at the Bay
District races will be Rnfax and fearless,
the other entry having sprung curb that
will prevent her racing for some time.
The two others, Scamper and Jackson, are
not entered at the Bay. Of the two Undine

also in the regular lot is looking we'll, but
both his forelegs seem little dicky. He
will not start at the Bay, but may do so at
Sacramento. To-day no fast work was
given him.
Kelly & Samuels' Lizette, CHI. f. (2), is not
well, and Will hardly be up to racing form
for little time to come.
The Hearst youngsters are working up
nicely and improving every day. An
archlst. 0semite, SNOWFALL, PrimerO and
j Is were not given any specially fast work,
but look very well. Sacramento Gertrude,
Almont and Baggage also were out.
NABEAU AND NERvA.
The Elmwood Stable has had bad luck
with the elder horses, as Nabeau and Nerva,
both entered here and at the Bay, have gone
back in order, and will probably not start
at either places. The two youngsters, Sir
Walter and Duke of Milpitas, did some rat

Tomorrow, Wednesday, the Paio Ito

track this spring. the two-year-olds not be-
ing far enough advanced in condition.
Racine, Palo Altos second crack, may go

| DISCUSSION OVER A RACE.
Yesterdays half-mlle heat race was the
| subject OF much angry discussion last night
| between parties who claim an interest in
| Sunday, each accusing the other of under
| hand dealing. AS the judges If the race
| fully investigated the attending circum-
| stances, including questioning the pool
sellers as to what money was bet and by
| whom, the charges that the race was q Job
| do not seem to be sustained. The time, too,
| 0:4SA, 0:49 and :49 does not SAVIOR much OF
| crookedness. Still it Is hard to say what
| Interested may not have been unfulfilled.
OBJECTIONS TO HALF-MILE HEATS.
In any event these quarter and half-mile
| heat races Tor all ages are the causes of
| more Jobs and trickery than any other class
| OF racing on the programme, and much dis
| satisfaction and trouble would be evaded
| by entirely abolishing such events from the
| list. AS to yesterdays race, all that can be
said Is that apparently it was run on its
merits. though Hazlett certainly lost the
first heat by overcOnfdence and careless
ness, as he himself admits.
