s1ders Divide the Honors.


CLUBS first section of their fall meeting
would have been entirely successful. Per
feet weather, a fast track, fairly good at
tendance, and close finishes were had for
the days sport. Directors Diamond, Dali
ton and Sessions adjudcated the results and
Frank de Poyster, who handled the nag got
the fields off without delay. No BOOKS were
made on the races, there being quite dlI
ference of opinion between the CLUB anu the
Book makers Association, which demanded
the exclusive right to list on the meeting
This the club refused, as they Wlshed 70
give any reputable and financially response
bic booB-maker chance to do business.
Because the club would not let them "hog
everything in sight The BOok-makers' Assoc
citation of the Pacific Coast Gncerporatei IN
San Francisco sulked in its tent. Specuia-
ton was therefore confined to the auctions
and mutuals, and as the results broke even
two fayorites and two outsiders winning
there was not much of a balance to the credls
or debit of either the talent or the pubic.
Dan McCarty's Komair, good faYorlte,
landed the opening half mile scurry ZOE
two year olds, and the combination OF
white-hatted "parient" and two clever
young sons scored first blood Stella led
into the stretch, getting OIL hrSk oy nVe
lengths, and then, &C ordlng to rule, Wli95o
like pansy blossom deprived OF wafer, tne
moment she was cOllared half way up the
stretch by the fav0rte, and finished fourth
in a field of five. II Stella would finish as
she begins the Dennison polka dots would
score many win, but she doesn't they
don't. Forty-nine and a half for hall Is
pretty good for Romair to go in.
The mile sweep. all ages. was handy

She was never teaded and held Cheerful
and Wild Rose safe at any part OF the
route, only Cheerful being able to make
reach for her during the trip. The TINS:

when she was as good as anybOdy's FLY,
aud Kennedy has sure Dread-Wlnner IN
this speedy little one.
Charley Boots scored very popular VIA
with Initiation for the one and sixteenth
mile Overnight handicap. She took up 1Oo
pounds, and after showing the way through
out. won by long neck in :5l, though had
little Spence made his run sooner Win
Fannie F he might have secured the Yer-
dict. as when he did make his drive he over
hauled the leader as II she we're standing
still, and many thought the App!eby mare
had actually won. There is this, however,
to be said for Spence, that his mare sweryed
badly up the stretch, and he may have been
baked thereby from coming IN sooner.
Applause, a warm first pck-out, had enough
OF il when a little over half the route had
been traversed, and is evidently very stale
from his incessant campaigning. The big
son of Three Cheers is nothing like the
horse he was Two years ago, and a long let
up would do him much good. mutations
win was the first turn the felders had. as the
favortes secured the two first races readily.
So far all was serene and lovely, and even
if unsuccessful in guessing luckily every
body was confident that the racing had
been strictly legitimate. Then came the
| four furlongs heat race, which somewhat
| upset this confidence. Inkerman was made
| an overheated favOrite at $50 against SIS
| for Ida Glenn and SO for tue field as the
| betting closed for the first heat; and when
the speedy bay gelding took the heat after
| getting off well by an easy hands-down
| half-length from Ida, in 1874, it looked as II
it was all over but collecting the tickets and
riding home in fOur-in-hands At first Kill
| lip had hard work in working off Inkerman
| for the second heat, the $40 field end against
| $50 for "lnky" being difficult TO find. But
they began to move off quicker and quicker,
| and the presence of mulatto in the lumber
repository was thought to have been dtscoy-
and the field rose to So, the clos
| ing rates. On the third come up
De Poyster dropped the flag, Ida
| Glenn popping off first, "Inky' second,
| The mare kept in front all the way and
won, with Cooper looking over his shoulder
| at the rest, by length from "Inky," in
| well, the time was announced as 'O:49"
| The result of the heat, although possibly
strong expressions Of sentiment, especially
from Director Eli Dennison, who loudly
stated in the saddling paddock his opinion
| that the best horse mad not won; that 81
was n robbing game and that he. for one,
| would allow no more racing over the track
| unless it was on the dead square," Dirrc-
tor Dennison's protest and those of others
caused the judges to tIke Bally off Inker-
man and substitute Ward for the third heat,
on which poolsssold. Ida Glenn s25, Inker-
-avri,
the post and when the flag was
finally dropped. Ida Glenn scooted away
with an advantage of clear two lengths at
the half-mile post and led Inky a strong
length into the stretch. Ward rode Inker--
man like demon all the way home, and
Cooper also made Ida do her best. In a
slashing finish the mare just lasted long
enough to win by short neck from Inksr-
man in 49A. 1t was amostremarkably good
performance on Inkerman's part for third
sidered. He ran the distance probably bet
ter than 40, possibly 4SE, and with better
luck In getting off could not have lost the
race.
The club is considering the adylsability of
changing its next Saturday date. for which
the big two and quarter miles event is set,
to Friday, so as to avoid clashing with the
Breeders opening day at the Bay District
