as if the Breeders meeting would be bap-
TIED with rain. Such very long bill of
fare had been provided that the Directors
determined to rush things and escape the
threatened sprinkling. They hurried out to
the track, where Presiding Judge Page got
up full head of steam, and, after stating
that the first number on the card would be
called at II O'Clock sharp, he delivered a
free-for-al lecture OF the desirability of
promptness on the part of the drivers.
This he punctuated with a few fines, and
after the associations treasury had been
fattened up with number of single eagles
that will do their share in making up the
deficit which the poor attendance at the
meeting has caused 10 appear on the aSsocia-
TONS ledger, the drivers came tumbling out
on the track so fast with their horses that
the boot was soon on the other leg, and
they had to be kept off the course by the
Marshal until their proper turns came.
SPECIAL MATCH.
By Il o'clock it had cleared up, and with
fast but adamantine track and an aver
age attendance, number one on the list of
events was called up. This was q special
match, best two in three. 1t was one of
those events that are simply got up to dodge
the anti-tin cup record rules, recently pro-
mulgated, and interesting only TO the owner
of the animal for which they are solel ar
ranged TO give it a record. Modjeska
Brooks and Patti p, the beneficiary OF the
match. were the starters. The latter failed
10 capture the event, as Modjrska won in
str aight heats. Time, . 81 ~ :S21a. Patti
was third in the first and second in the
second heat. Brooks was distanced in the
last.
POSTPONED RACES.
The second postponed special was next
called. SuZette (OEe heat, Anita lone heat,
and Directa were the contestants that came
out. The match was best two in three. The
Palo Alto mare, SuZette, took the second
and deciding heat, winning the match in
. :23lE. She led all the way and won by
twelve lengths, Anita second, Drecta, third.
Next came the first postponed special, the
starters, Sydney J, Nidette and Soudau,
each having a heat to the good, Nldctte'S

PACING EVENT.
a 500 purse for the . 80 pacing class was
left To Gold Medal (McDoweID and Princess
Alice (kneier) for decision as 10 which
should take first money. Pools sold: Priu-
cess SIS, Alice SO. A quick start was had
and sharp fight took place between them

Princess showed her further good staying
qualities by taking the third heat and race

the adyiSability OF pushing her through as
desperately as Kneier did was not under

THE FAYORITE BEATEN.
Lynette (Ober). Mile Wilkes Goldsmith
and Lizzie T Sullivan were the starters in
the three-yeaT-old stake, with 500 added
Distance by consent was waived. Mile
sold fayorite in the pools at $50 against SO
for tie two others in the field. When they
got to going Lizzie broke at the turn, and
Lynette went of in front and led all the
way to the wire, which she reached first by
three lengths from Mile in 2:294. Lizzie,
but for the saving clause, would have been
SMUT out. Speculation was at a staDdsull
for the second heat Lynette made an ex-
hibitOn OF her field, being IN the lead a six
teenth of a mile at tile three-quarters from
Mile and double that distance from Lizzie
+. ODER slowed her up coming home, and
she literally walked under the wire, the
coolest Of winners. Time, 2:S2h.
The third heat and race went to Lynette
without touching the daughter of LlnwOod
IL 2:25A. Lynette is much-improved mare
since her race with Lottery Ticket when
she was easily defeated.
sTAMBoUL's RECORD.
After the first heat of the special, STAN
boul was brought out by Goldsmith to go
against his record of 2:12A. A runner
driven by Andy Mcdowell accompanied the
brown stallion. All the conditions were
favorable, the weather having grown much
warmer and just right for fast work. Gold
smith warmed Times opponent up in a few
sharp brushes and on the second trip to The
p WIRE he nodded for the word and away sped
SlambOul. He went as steady as clOckwork
and as smooth as silk, the runner laying
well back. He reached the sixteenth in 1G
seconds aud the quarter in 32A. Near the
three-eigh!S pole he rated little faster,
and made that mark Of the route in 90
seconds. Increasing little his gait he
passed the half in 1:O6B, 213 gait Still
he was not going just precisely as fast as
Goldsmith wanted, and little more speed
was called for. StRnrboul responded freely
vert to the five-eights in :22K, and the
tnree-quarters in :3934 Then he was tunnel
loose and urged Oh by the runners h0ofs
gathering close mp the seven-eights was
made in 1894. Then he seemed to let mp
little, but Goldsmith urged him again most
artisticallv, while Mcdowell yelled like an
Apache Indian On lie came, rallying very
Z ,mely and finished like a lion, passing the
wire in 2:11R. breaking his record of last
wear by q of a second. The last quarter ID
0:3l shows how well and gamey he answered
GOldsmith's calls. Both StambOul and
Goldsmith were heartily cheered and many
praises were shOwered on the successful
driver.
Stamboul now holds the champion Pacific
Coast record, but he is still behind the
worlds record made by Nelson a couple of
weeks or so ago in the East. Still STEAMBOAT
is only a quarter Of n second behind and he
may reduce 1t before the year is over
A RECoRD-sMAsHER.
After the second heat of the special Gold
smith brought ont another recOrd-breaker
and one that smashed all previous Eastern,
Western, stallion and filly yearling records
in Freedom, who went against the yearlng
stallion record of Faustino, 2:35. and the
year'ng FLY record of 2:3IR of Norlaine.
McDoaell again drove the runner that ac-
cOnpanird the champion baby.
On The first come-up the youngster was
started on his trial to show old Father Time
what California equine infant can do if
:, necessary.
One circumstance was not as favorable to
him as it was to STEAMBOAT when he lowered
his mark, and this was the weather. just
as soon as STEAMBOAT left the track the clouds
again overcast the sky, and quite breeze
started ND. This, in considering Freedoms
remarkable showing must also be remem-
bered. However, Freedom was going like
veteran, and rated slower than on his pre-
vious trial, went to the sixteenth in OBS. the
.. quarter in 0:3715, the thTee-eigbths in O:56b
the half in 1:171%, the ive-eighths in 50,
the three-quarters in 2:12A, and the mile in
the remarkable time of 2:2934 all the way
the colt never made mistake, and in strong
distinction to his previous trial, when he
swerved at the seyen-eighths and finished
very eak, to-day he completed his circuit
most gamely and strong. He did not faIter
step, nor even after passing the wire did
