END OF THE
MEETING.
Getaway Day of the Blood. Horse
Spring Races.
An Unsatisfactory Days sport-Pocr Contests
and Bad Starting-Ko Extra Races
to Be Held Next Week

Yesterdays racing at the Bay District Track,
under the auspices of the Blood-EOFse Assoeia-
ton, WAS certainly in every particular the worst
of The meeting. While Thursday last was day
that any association in tie world could be prouo
Of the very reverse was the case yesterday.
One more such days racing aud even the most
attractive programme that the association could
get up would not draw corpOraPs guard, ana
would prove death blow 10 all future interest In
running racing in san Francisco Yesterday was
emphalicaiIy a bOok-makers' aud getaway"
day. The starting was simply awfu-nOt so
much through lbe starters fault as through the
total disregard 10 even common deeency in the
behavior Of the jockeys. Had the starter set
down al least half Of The jockeys riding yester-
day for the entire year he would have been fully
justified. In The last race the flag fell with all of
The four hUrseS starting scattered In One-twO-
three-four order over nearly furlong of ground.
For King Hooker to win when getting OH last
in a Seven-eighths' dash, carrying 1913 pounds,
with Tying lilly having only 80 pounds up al
ready at the quarter pole when he left the score,
showed HIM 10 be great colt
lie action OF toe association in attempting TO
giving a weeks extra racing IA dlSincj oppOsi-
lion 10 The announced dates OF the Sacramento
Jockey Club caused so much unlaYorable com
ment from The public aud owners that the aSsO-
chllon had 20 declare their proposed extra rae
ing Of. 10 the great chagTin of the book makers
aud booksellers who had anticipated re ping
further itch haIYests from. the San Francisco
public. The Sacramento Jockey Club, when in
formed OF the associations action, passed con-
CemnatOrY TesOu ions, and stated that such ac-
ton was primarily inStigated by local firm who
lad failed to obtain the pooselling privileges at
Sacramento.
While the track was in good order yesterday
lie weather was very unpleasant, a cold, drz-
Zllug tcg benumbing the spectators the greater
part OF me afternoon. The attendance was Tho
smallest OF the meeting, and the betting rather
light
Under all the circumstances the associations
interests would have been best served if yeSteT-
lie o n.
Ties OF last Thursday had been left undmmed.
1t would be interesting 10 know how many
jockeys 10 each race yesterday really did their
best To win.
