Yale '91 and Prince Fort
unatus Easily Land the
Other Two Prizes.

The races yesterday were excellent,
and they delighted the 1900 spectators
in attendance. Guido is the king of the
Western turf. He has clearly demon
strated his superiority under the gen
eralship of Fitzpatrick. He can give
his competitors weights and Jumps and
run them all out from the stretch in.
Yesterday he carried 127 pounds to
victory in the first race of mile over
Kingman and Corinne Kinney. The
latter, by the way, is one of the bright
three -year-Olds of the West. She gave
the great Guido an exciting race, by
setting a tremendous pace from the
very post, ana Guido only won by
head. Indeed, that is about the way he
takes in all his victories. Fitzpatrick
is one of the best Judges of and prowess
among the galaxy of Jockeys. He
knows to a nicely just how much to
force his mount to extend himself. That
is how he encompasses these sensational
finishes. Of course Guido was the hot
choice, and the bookmakerS lost heavily
on the race at the short odds offered.
The second race troubled the talent
great deal. They wavered around so
much that the bookies were largely
ahead. Hamline was thought TO be
good thing at the distance, five furlongs,
and Alice ID was the tip. but it remained
for Lillian Beatrice, who had been un-
able to reach anything before, to carry
off the purse, with Callle Ferguson,
who found lots of warm friends, second.
Hispania also lost roll OF money for
Ter friends.
The free handicap sweepstakes, net
ting the winner S495, was the feature of
the day. Prince FOrtunatuS was not
distressed in the least in the run of a
mile and furlOng, but Lillian Lindsay.
the pride of this track, dumped her
friends by coming in behind Meadow
brook, a rank outsider. But it was
grand race, as is evidenced by the time,
1858.
The heat race was the chief enigma
of the programme. There was a great
deal of plunging. Doc Wick found a
big following, but Jim Dunn was the
tip and the heaviest money was placed
on him, although Polemus' performance
the other day challenged some of the
talent. Jim Dunn'S defeat was taken
sore at heart by his owner, l.. Simon. He
kicked vociferOuSly because Porter did
not ride to save his distance the first heat.
That was his Instructions. Instead he
used whip and spur and beat the field
out. This killed Jim Dunn, and it was
all easy lIllilS 1OI L O1ClUuo W LohO bbO
two succeeding heats. 1t was selling
race, and to vent his feelings Simon
ran Polemus up to S1,905, so that Dowl-
ing d Foster were considerably out on
the race.
Miss Ballard came near killing little
Evans DIT the conclusion of the first heat.
He rode down past the stand to the
turn, where he brought the mare up
short, and she stopped so suddenly that
Evans was unseated. In falling he
pulled so vigorously on the left check
rein that the mare was thrown upon
him. 1t was nearly five minutes before
he could he taken from beneath the
terrible weight. He suffered a dislo-
Gated ankle and several severe bruises.
Yale '91, as was expected, had walk
over in the last race. He simply out
classed Getaway, who was the only
other horse in il. The betting was
about as lively and extensive as usual,
| despite the small attendance.
