race that absorbed the attention OF the spectators
the Foster Memorial handicap. for which Eon, Mad
stone DiablO and Ban Chief started. Uncle Bob
had softer place in the third was course,
an absentee.
1t was regarded battle Of the giants, for Bergen
had come up especially to ride Maidstone, against
HAYWARD on Eon and Taral on Diablo Despite his
recent defeat and the fact that he was giving ten
pounds TO Diablo who is In the pink of condition.
ron WAS an overwhelming favonte. The bookmakers
vera not afraid OF either Maidstone or Ban Chief and
laid freely against them at long odds. With all his
great record In the West, Ban Chief was Ignored,
especially by the Western bOokmakers The race was
an exact counterpart of the mile and aquarter week
ago today, when Diablo defeated RecaTe and Los
Angeles He TOOK the lead from the start and never
ralinouished It, EOn swerved In the stretch and Mad
stone beat him for the place.
The ,plrit of the Times Stakes another great
surprise for the talent and the colored division made
another great coup with Forerunner, who defeated
King Crab in an exciting finish. In the first race
Bergens superb riding Frank Kinney saved the
talent from crushing blow, as he only defeated the
ontsder Furnirh on the post Gultnda was the
favodte and was never dangerous. kinney was sec
