SECOND RACE,
! Next came the Fall stake, a handicap for
! all ages. one mile and quarter. This was
| expected to be the most exciting running
race of the meeting, and it really proved to
be. The disputants were Peel, Tycoon,
Picnic, Carmen, Applause and Lurline.
| The last pools sold before the race were:
Tycoon $50, Applause $40, Peel $55 and the
field $40.
! This race was the sensation of the day.
| The horses went 10 the post at 2:30 o'clock
| and scored just twenty-five times, consum-
! ing upward of an hour, when the riders
| were taken down and the horses given q
| rest. There was so much money up on
the race, and some of the horses carried
| such heavy weights, that it was evident the
light weights were playing to tire the 9TH
ers out.
After fifteen minu'es rest the riders were
again put up. Then followed another long
and tiresome series OF scoring, six more
false starts being made.
Finally, at o'clock, after the horses had
been at the post for an hour and a half and
had scored no less than twenty. seven times,
the wtite flag fell; but the assistant starter
| down the stretch did not see it, and held
his flag aloft. Five of the horses dashed
down to where he stood-all but Tycoon
but were pulled up at the seven -eighths
pole.
Then some one told the holder of the red
flag that the white one had fallen, and the
riders of Peel, Lurline, Picnic and Carmen
again started off and ran the circuit of the
tran or lilo Of
Cinnamon. Applause pulled up after reach
ing the starting place at the head of the
stretch, while Tycoon's rider simply gal
loped him along slowly, he having sense
enough 10 know ii was no race.
Great excitement then ensued, and the
track became thronged with a clamoring
multitude, while cheers and groans went
up from the grand stand. Ia the mean
time Appleby began scraping and rubbing
his mare Carmen near the judges stand
while the riner was still up, and Judge La
Rue fined him 800 for the act.
Appleby talked back" to the judges,
and it is said he used very strong Ian
guage. For this the Judges have decided
to reprinand him to-day, instead of in
hicting the severer punishment of being
ruled off the track.
After a brief consultation between the
Judges, Mr.. LaRue announced that the
judges were aware that the assistant start
er's flag did not fall and that es the
jockeys bad all been warned some days
before that they must be governed by the
red flag, they had no right to go. There
fore it was declared no race but would be
run of after the other races had been con-
cluded.
The decision was received with cheers by
all except those who had pools on Peel.
A little later it was announced from the
judges stand that all pools that had been
sold on the race up to that time were de-
clared of
James Shelton at once resigned his posi-
ton as starter, and c. S. Crittenden of San
the three races which he started he gave
very good satisfaction.
THIRD RACE.
The third event was the Palo Alto stake,
a handicap for two-year-olds, three-quar-
tiers of mile. The only starters were the
Elmwood Stables Duke of Milpitas and L.
j. Roses Conrad. In the pools Conrad
was the favorite at odds of $40 to S15
The Duke had the best of the start by
nearly an open length, but at the half
Conrads nose was at his saddle. 1t was a
beautiful race from there TO the wire, the
horses running like double team all the
way around. The rider of Duke piled the
whip energetically, but Conrad won by
bare nose in 1:l5!.

on the fifth break-away, it was very
