BLOOD-HORSE RACES.
Bessie w, Almont, Sir Walter,
Acclaim, the Winners.
Three Favorites Out of Four First Under the
Wire-The New Judges Stand 0bstructs
the Final View.

A very large attendaDee-larger than at
any recent harness meetng-was present
yesterday at the Bay District track for the
second days racing Of the Blood-horSe fall
meeting.
Fog watts and bursts of sunshine made up
in alienation the climatic conditions the
track was fast and safe; the judging first
class. and, with the exception Of the first
race, each contest was decided on its full
merits and so accepted.
OF the eight races that starter De Poyster
has dropped the flag for so far, he has been
entirely successful in seven; and one mis-
take in eight is not to be too closely ques-
toned or caviled at.
There was more grumbling over the in
correctness of either the programme or
the bulletin clerk for the first race than over
the start in which hot second pick was
left at the post. Everything WAS wrong on
the bIlletin-board for the race-numbers,
Jockeys and results-and after the race was
over three different plaeings were put up.
THIS is said to be owing TO fight between
official and non-oficial programmes.
Owing to the closeness of the finishes last
Saturday the Directors. to be better able to
decide, have placed a-Well, high structure
of bare boards right on the outside OF the
bettng-ring, right under the wire, com
pletely obscuring the view Of the finish from
the reporters stand and large portion OF
the clubhouse balcony.
Three fayorites out of four won yesterday,
and in easy style at that; consequently the
fOrm-payeTs, though they had to lay odds
on and, i'll Acclalm's case, heavy ones,
had their Judgment fully corrohorated
Motto, the second choice in the opening i've
furlong scramble, was left at the post, thus
ann,1,latalv ayt ipgui HING bar ri There
were twelve break-aways, and after such
long delay it looked as If the starter might
have riszed another one or two, being so
deep in the hole then, to effect an equal
send-off. Bessie w. who ran up so well to
Motto in the six-fuTlOng jump last Saturday,
HAD no difficulty in winning it in the good
time of l :0l y. She was the only outsider
to win, the three other strong fayorltes,
AlmOnt, Sir Waiter and Acclaim, winning
off the reel without giving their hackers
much anxiety. Sir Walters one and quar-
ter miles, with los up in > :0S12, was good
performance, and much more SO was Ac-
claims sever furlOngs, with 10 up, in
1:27A, winning as she did by ten lengths,
pulling up.
There was such middle about the jock
eyS in the first event that only the rider OF
the winners name Can be given correctly IN
