ENTERED THE LIST.
Two More Flecti0neers Tr0t to
Standard Time.
Ansel Also Puts Another in the List-Defnite
Charges Of Fraud Made Anent Sat-
urday's Races.

On Saturday Charles Marvin, the SUPER
intendent of the Palo Alto stock farm, Il ok
some OF his charges to the San Jose race
track for the purpose of putting them, If
possible, in the 2:3O list.
In order to make the records stand the
Santa Clara Agricultural Association took
charge Of the racing, and some of the Di-
rectorS acted as judges, starters and timers.
An admission fee of 80 cents was charged,
and about 200 of those interested in harness
events were present. Both the track and
weather were all that could be desired.
1t was the first public trotting done this
year IN the State, and Marvin succeeded
very well in his efforts, two Eleetioneers en-
terng the list also one Ansel, and getting
marks of 2:30h with a Benefit FLY. The
days results were as follows:
RESULTS OF THE DAY.
SonOma, gr. M, s, by Electioner-dam
Sonntag Mohawk, won in two straight
heats, MaraQuita second, lockwood dis
tanced. Time 2:28-2:2S. Idemay, b. f.. 8,

Laureola, b. f., by BeneftLaura G, took two
heats in 2:30b. Frank Burke's Daylight

drove the Palo Alto entries and Vioget,
Corey, johnson and Gordon handled the
others.
The success of SOnoma puls her dam
SOnntag Mohawk into the second place as
living Speed-producing brood mare, as So
noma'S performance gives her dam six per-
formers in the 2:30 list. Emeline, an East
ern brood mare, has eight and Is, therefore,
the champion living matr0n.
The weather has been very much against
any fast moves of the harness division at

has not goue better than 80, and all the
others are very gross. The La Siesta string
will require lots of work to fit them for the
August meeting OF the breeders.
BLooD-HoRsE DIRECTORS.
Tomorrow the Bood-horse Association
will hold ting 20 close the accounts Of
the spring racing. If the Directors dasIre
to retain the confidence of the public and
the Integrity of tie association they Will
then also commence a most searching In
yeStigatiOn into Saturdays racing. Indeed,
ii is hard to see how they can escape do
ing So
The most direct charges of gross fraud
have been made. NJ. Hennesey on Iinta is
accused Of pulling her in the first race.
Narvaez is accused of pulling Nerva, and
Clancy King Hooker in the second. Mar
yaez is accused of pulling Initiation in the
Treat in the fourth. Munroe johnson is
accused of pulling jackson in the last.
General charges of collision between own
ers, Jockeys and bOOk-makers are also made.
Narvaez in the Eastern papers was accused
Of gross incompetencY, If not worse, in rid
ing Racine i'll the East last year. His riding
of Nero last fall at the BlOOd-hOrse meeting
was so criticized in the race reports OF The
CALL that the association held an lnveStl-
CATION on the reporter who described the
race.
REGARDLESS OF FEAR OR FAVOR.
A full impartial and searching nyestiga-
ton should be made BY the association re-
CARELESS OF fear or favor, for jockeys do not
pull races, as The CALL has heretofore re-
marked, simply for the purpose of pulling
them. 1t Is for the association to ferret out
the lnstigat0rs as much as the actual COLI
summators of the job. 1t is stated that in
the last race Black Adler, the red hot favor
tie VINO was so easily defeated, WAS the
property of one Upper, and was trained by
Jim Brown, both of whom were ruled OFF for
the scaudalOus pulling of Al Farrow soma
two years ago. If the statement be correct,
it is inc0nceiyable how the judges allowed
the horse to start.
MAY TROT AT OAKLAND.
The trottiug hOrsemen al San Jose said on
Saturday that arrangements had been made
with the Oakland Jockey Club to give
series of trOtting races at the Oakland track
during the mining meeting on the on days.
number of the Palo Alto horses will COM
pete ahere if the trottiDg races take place.
As far as made public PalO Alto will depend
principally on its youngsters this year.
Some yearlings have gone quarters in 0;38,
hardly Freedom clip, though.
On Saturday, August 1St, the first regular
trotting meeting Of the coast will take place.
No definite selection as to where it will be
held has yet been made, owing to the un-
certainty as to whether the Bay District
track can be secured or not.
