The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-10-30
KEPT AT THE POST.
The Coast Record for Delay i'm
Starting Eclipsed.
Ninety-six Minutes Wasted in Effecting a
start-Acclaim, Motto, Nevada and Re-
volyer Win the Money.

All previous delays-at-the- post records
were knocked sky high yesterday at the Bay
District track Tor the fourth days racing OF
the Blood-hOrse fall programme.
1t took Starter de Poyster just hour and
Sc minutes. after forty false starts. TO get a
field of eleven twO-year-olds under way.
There was considerable grumbling over
the waste of time. but De Poyster threw the
entire blame on the narrowness of the track
at the five-furloug pole, where the start was
had from. He said eleven youngsters were
hard 10 get off when the track was only
thirty feet wide; he imposed no fines as lie
said the boys did all they could under the
circumstances to effect an even start.
Outside OF this rather tresome setback
the racing was satisfactory. The weather
was simply perfect and the attendance the
largest OF the meeting, While quite lumpy
and deep the track was safe and with little
more narrowing ought to be very fast, if no
rain falls, for the rest of the meeting. Two
warm first picks won, one second choice and
one long outsider, and the chances are that
the books were little ahead on the days
play. Acclaim for the opening mile was a
productive favcrite and won i'll a walk
Motto, a well-supported second choice, won
the fiye-furoug two-year-old scramble after
an hour and a halls delay at the post, and
fully upheld tho staying powers OF her sire
and dam, Sir MOdred-MOttle. Her run in
1:03A, with 107 pounds up, under the con-
dltions, was most creditable. Her popular
owner, l.. j. Rose, pulled down nice stake
on her success.
The mile and q sixteenth was only a
gallop for Bi Holly's mare Nevada, a big
odds on the fayorte. Sheridan, who is COM
ing back to his spring form, defeating the
much-t outed Nero for the place. Revolver,
whose strong finish on Wednesday to Cap
tain AL in the mud was most strangely
overlooked by the talent for the seven
eighths closing event. won by head from
Applause, the cinch favorte, John Treat,
having conspicuous attack OF the slows"
coupled with bad send-Uff.
A great many ladies were in the balloon
les, and with their gay costumes formed a
pleasing coup d'euIi, but not more so than
the gentleman with the tan-colored shoes
and number 1lA feet, who during the sec
| ond fOur-year-old race gave free exhibit
ton of where his brain was situated by ex-
tending his understandings out over the club
balcony as far as his physique would allow.
