Epecial to THE MORNING CALI


tanned cayuses, the vaQuero show did not
come off at the track this morning, though
large attendance was present at o'clock,
the advertised hour at which the exhibition
was to begin. Much disappointment was
felt because the show did not come off; but
Director Boggs has issued a guarantee that
the most savage steeds and the best riders
on the Coast will be introduced to each
other probably on Wednesday morning.
Miss Hazel Keyes, an undaunted young
spinster of pleasing facial appearance and
athletic build, went up in balloon again
and came down in parachute. The young
lady was handsomely attired in pink tights
and blue upper apparel How high she
ascended is not known. but it was so high
that the color Of her tights could not be dis
cerned Her downward flight gave the
many ladies present those chilly, creepy
feelings which they seem so much to enjoy.
4 large number of ladies and children who
drove out to the track in family cOnveyances
evinced the greatest fear that Miss heyes,
even when good mile away, would GER
tainly single out one particular conveyance
to aight upon, and some Of them made

turn them loose, trusting to the animals
instinct to escape pulyerization. Before
they got a single strap unloosened, how
ever. Miss Keyes had descended outside the
track fence and the alarm at once suOslded.
Still, as one lady said: ITS all very Wen,
but Just suppose she had landed on the
horse; what would have become of the poor
anmal?"
oD1 to-1aU If aXpRIlaUI order.
Gnd very fast, D5regarding the time In
the opening tWo-yeaT-Old run on account OF
the class of the performers, Deimars gong
the six furlongs wi th top weight IN 2:l472,
after over an hours delay and the worst OF
the send-of, shows that the course was Il
coed one. President Cox and Directors
Green and BOggs were in the judges stand.
TIE attendance was again large, the
weather excellent and the betting very SPIT
tied. Folly 120 Ward, Janus 113 Lloyd,

and Janus we're the leaders when starter
Gamble lowered his flag. They led the

buuched up and ran in pack into the

angry judges and fines ranging from $50 to
or f4s.H aCa 1Nnl N hGzIHns
Jockey Ward being Sc t down on the ground
for the rest Of the meeting. Ida Glenn got
the best Of a rather struggling send-off with
the faVOrite last. She led into the stretch,
with Captain Al second and Delmar
fourth. Into the stretch all were punched
and the favorite had 10 swing wide, and then
pick his way to get through his company.
This he did in great shape, aud at the one
eighth pole he had the race won. Treat
made play to get up on The rail, but was
hemmed in by Peregrine and CAPTAIN AL
who made q close finish for the place. Pere-
grine, who was bothered considerably up
the stretch, came vary fast and beat Captain
Al by neck, Delmar winning by two
lengths easily in the fast time Of 2:1413.
A NOVELTY RACE.
4 novelty race for q purse of $3.50, one
and quarter miles, was apportloned as fol-
lows: The horse first at the first half-mile,
$50; at thTee-quarterS, SIS; at one mile, 500;
ct one and quarter miles, S125. Joker, 8,
122 {Gannunt; Sheridan, 4, 122 (WrighD; AL
farattR, 8, 1l9 (Appleby); Ida Ferguson,
aged, 1l9 (Cook); Albatross, aged, 122
(OHearn); Acclaim. 8. 1O9 (Warren); Fox.
aged, 122 Howsonl; Sir Reginald. 8. 122
(Lee). and Onti Ora, 3, 109 (Sullivanl,
started. The post adds were quoted at Sher-
idan $50 Acclaim $50, Alfaratta SIS. field $40.
On the fifth start they got away with Ida
Ferguson in the lead. After going punched
to the first eighth pole Sheridan stumbled
and fell throwing Wright to the ground.
Neither was much hurt, but, of course, had
no further interest in the race. Ida led
Acclaim a length to the first half and so
earned the S6O being out there Tor leaders.
After that it was Accaim's race the rest of
tile way. At the three-fouTths she led Joker
by three lengths and so won $50 She was
IN the same place at the mile, pulling down
an easy Si10, and by galloping in an easy
winner by three lengths at the one and a
quarter from Alfaratta, she further added
Si75 TO her owners cash balance. Time,
2:l1h. Onti Ora was third to Al
faratta. 1t is surprising how well
Al!aratta can run despite her bad
leg She never expected TO go the route
and her trainer is always looking for her to
break down, yet she stands up even over a
distance, and beats much souDder horses in
the stretch. With her gameness and breed
ing she ought to make great brood mare
when she finally decides to retire. The
days winning mutuals were: Zaldivar
straight S31 50, place Sl3 20; Folly place
Sl6 90; Almont SIS 45; Fairy So 10; Delmar
straight S11 90 place S8 80; Peregrine place
S67 20: Acclaim straight 81 90, place Sc 20;
Alfaratta place Sl1 So

called up. George n had two heats, Silk ey
two and PIunkett none. Pools sold: George
n $40, Plunkett S15, Silkey S11. Plunkett
led silkey by length to the quarter, and
then brought her to bad break a little
further on, George taking second place.
Piunkett led until well up the stretch, when
George came up fast on the outside, and
won by length from Plunkptt in 2 :22k.
This gave the race TO George N
