Sir Mathew Wins the Junior
Champion Stakes.
Racine Beats a Number of
Eastern Cracks.
Rinfax Wins at Saratoga and Santa
Ana Runs Great Race.
The Grand Circuit Strikes Rochester
Gray Breaks a Record-Morgan
Wins the Skating Race-Lft-
tie Albert Beaten.

California horses came out with fly
ing colors yesterday. 1t was the great
est day of the year for the horses from
the Golden state. At Saratoga, Racine
and Rinfax were both winners, while
Santa Ana, Los Angeles and Fearless
carried off secoud honors. At West
chester the California colt, Sir
Mathew, won the junior championship.
These were all brilliant victories. In
the first place, Racine showed his heels
to such celebrated performers as Eon
and Maidstone in the wonderfully fast
time of :4434 for mile and seventy
yards. This time beats the record for
the distance, if my memory is not at
fault. The best on record at the begin
ming OF this season was 1::4514. This
victory demonstrates that at
his favorite distance the California horse
when fit and we'll is almost unbeatable.
Rinfax is getting to be himself. When
right no three-year-old on the turf has
any license to beat him. Santa Ana, the
three-year-old filly, must have run a
wonderful race. She finished second to
Bermuda in the very fast time of 2 "a
for one and one-half miles. This time is
within a second of the record held by
Firenzi. Santa Ana is destined to be-
come one of the star performers of the
Santa Anita string. She was trife un-
dersized as a two-year-old and was not
taken east on that account. She has
grown wonderfully since then. 1t will
be remembered that Peri beat Santa Ana
at theraces in this city last'year.

The prediction in yesterdays HERALD
that the DAILY stable would win the
Junior Champion proved to be emil
nently correct, as Sir Mathew won after
a gallant race. This was an especially
good tip, as Rodman & Co. offered as
much as 6 to l against the DAILY stable.
A big San Francisco daily got the
straight tip from it's New York CORE
spondent. Nothing in but Merry Mon
arch, Twas the tip that came over the
wires for the benefit OF the turf readers
of the San Francisco paper. Merry Mon
arch started an even favoiite, and was
never in the hunt. Sir Mathew is a
brown colt by Sir Madrid, and was bred
by j. B. Haggin in this state.

Happy Bee, who succeeded in defeat
ing the California gelding Little Albert
in the $4,000 trot at Rochester, is
bay mare by Happy Russell. She won
the 2 :29 class at Buffalo in three straight
heats, the last one being made in 2 10.
On the same day Little Albert won the
Poi class in 2:19, 2:181a and 2:18.

The challenge issued by Hanlon and
O'Connor should not be taken seriously.
1t is simply an advertising scheme.
Both were badly beaten by Australian
oarsmen. Hanlon is a back number.
Stansbury and Mclean could outrow
them to certainty, and single scull
race would not prove very interesting,
inasmuch as Stansbury outclasses either
Hanlon or O'Connor as the records go
to show.
