Oaly One Favorite in Four Succassful-A Good
Day for Second Choices-The 1g-
noble Duke Of Milpitas.

The running races yesterday given by
the Golden Gate Fair Association at OAK
land, while furnishing some good sport.
were not as largely attended as was ex-
pected, though there were probably more
people present than at either OF the two pre-
ceding days
The weather was typically Californian,
and the track in safe but not extra fast con-
dition. Applause in the heat race was the
only favorite to win, and he sold a hot
fav0rite. Strong second choices won the
other three events and put comfortable re-
turns into the pockets of those who do not
believe the favorites invincib'e.
Charley Boots peculiarly named two-year-
old Duke Of MilpitaS delayed the trst event
for nearly an hour and half, and showed
how mean q horse can be IL he chooses.
The Duke is dangerous one to own and
will break his unfortunate proprietor If he
believes in backing his stable. He is I'M
doubtedlv very fast and shows such good
trials that any twO-year-old event looks
certainty for him. Then when the money is
up the Duke acts like crazy horse, gets left
at the post and loses all. That is the kind
of horse the Duke is. To make an entire
success OF him he should be given year or
two hauling a ranch wagon. That might
bring him to his senses. 1t is a pity to see
one so young and yet so utterly vile, eSpe-
cially one of the nobility.
Starter Coombs was efficient with the flag,
except in the last race, which was one OF the
worst ever seen on a California track. Three
of the six starters were left at the post and
the others well strung out. Had good start
been had, Larghetta would probably have
given Applause run home.

The Duke delayed the start for nearly an

away to the stables. A start was made
with the Duke some twenty lengths behind,
but on a run. Nero at once went to the
front, and, never being headed, won by five
lengths, Acclaim, whU came first from the
