worthy Events.
The opening of the winter race meet
ing was marked by clear and brigh
weather, and the warm sunshine quickly
dispelled the coolness of the atmosphere
caused by the northeast wind of thu
night before. Notwithstanding the fac
that yesterday was general holiday the
attendance at the Agricultural park wa,
very meagre; but this was the only dis.
appointing feature Of the day, as the
sport was very fair and possessed several
exciting features. There was fair
muster of carriages along the fence on
each side of the judges box, but there
was plenty of room between the vehicles.
The first race of the day, with three
starters, proved an easy victory
for the favorite, Atslanta, who came
through her horses at the entrance
to the straight and romped home, three
lengths ahead of Rosemeade, who,
swerving across the track, when about
100 yards from the wire. caused Clifford,
who was riding Gambo, to pull up. The
latter claimed foul, asserting that
Scofeld "bored in" on him, and the
judges agreeing with him, awarded Sec
ond place to the stallion.
The second race brought out five start
ers and the knowing ones received cad
blow in the defeat of Ed McGinniss by
Louise NJ, whose victory over Faustine
at the last Bay District meeting, ap-
peared to have been forgotten. From
start to finish the mare made the pace,
and though the stallion struggled gamely
he never succeeded in getting on even
terms with her. Winona, on the lower
turn, looked formidable for time; but
she seemed to find the distance beyond
her liking.
For the seven furlongs selling race
nine horses faced the post. Tom DAILY
was pronounced favorite, and verified
the opinion of his supporters by taking
the lead at the start and maintaining it
to the finish, after desperate struggle
with Kildare, who WAS half length be-
hind. Ida Glenn came with q rush at
the finish, and just missed second place
by short neck. The winner was bought
in for $500.
Sunday was pronounced favorite for
the last race, when the four starters ap-
peared, and the confidence reposed in
him was not abused. as at the first turn
he came through his horses and reached
home an easy winner from Painkiller,
who got the best of the start, but was
unable to maintain his slight advantage
Rondo, after several breaks, jumped the
fence, and when returned to the tracl
was left at the post. His jockey en-
tered q protest against the start, bui
after hearing both sides of the ques
ton, the judges overruled his claim, as il
was shown that when on even terms
with the rest and just as the flag fell, he
pulled up.
Hon. Clifton Bell officiated as presid.
ing Judge and he was assisted by Messrs.
Hank" McGregor and Captain Barrett !;
]. Watson acted as clerk of the scales,
and Nick Covarrubias held the chro-
nometer. The starters flag was welded
by Matt Storm and Cy Mulkey for the
first two races, but the official starter, II.
I. Rodman, waved the bunting for the
other events.
