Epecial TO THE MORNING CALL

SAN JOSE, Aug. 12-To-day was "bang-
tail' day at the San Jose Fair races, the
trotters and PAGERS giving up the track to
the gallopers to let them show what they
could do for the opening of the summer and
fall running schedules. The track was
rather hard for them to operate on. so much
care having been given to it to prepare it
for the best efforts of the harness division.
1t was narrowed some during the morning,
but it was not in the best order for the
runners.
When the number of horses with tender
underpinnings that started is considered it
is wonder that most of them did not
break down irretrievaby. Out of the six
teen starters at least six were 'ci-devant"
cripples. None of the whole lot were as fit
to run as they should be- and about Sacra-
mentO some startling reverSes of the form
shown to-day will be seen. The attendance
was the best so far of the meeting and
seems to show that running events are more
attractive to the public than harness races.
THE FIRST RACE.
The proceedings commenced with six

sIdeTably between Daisy ID, Initiation and
Inkerman, finally settling down to Daisy d

Ill the entries and with the almost certainty
that she would break down when he could
use her as brood mare. All he invested
mutual, but it paid him we'll. for after the
mare won, it was worth just $50 10. Fred
GARLIC, the eX-jockey of Al Farrow, was
granted permission by the blood-horSe
people TO ride for the ElmWood Stable dur
ing the meeting only, and he got all out of
Initiation that he could, but the maze was
snort OF work and could not win.
AN OUTSIDER WINS.
After one bTeakaway Billy Jonathan,
who offclated as starter, got them off with
Sentella and Daisy d ia the lead, Alfaretta
last. Senteila was beaten at the half, where
the others punched. Entering the stretch
they were all mixed mp, and Daisy ID got so
Jostled that her game leg troubled her, and
she was out OF it. Inkerman also was cut
down badly. the tendOns of both hind legs

ediy lost him the race. However, he soon
disposed of Initiation, and seemed to have
the race won, when Appleby brought Al
faTetta up on the outside and laBdeu her a
clever winner by half length from Inker-
man, who beat Initiation as much for place.
Time, ZIG.
The defeat Of the favorltes cost lots of
money, which the judicious field buyers
gathered in at highly remunerative figures.
THE SECOND RACE.
Three tw0-year-olds came out for the next
event, fiYe-furlOng scramble. They were:
Peseador, by Gano, 40, Roach; Oracle C,
. by Joe Hookey, 102, Plckney, and EspeT6nza,
by Judge Mcklnstry, 102, Spence. a heavy
plunge was made on Pescador at So against
50 for the other two IN the field. They got
the flag the first time. Pescador and Esper-
ANA even up and Oracle G almost four
lengths back. The leaders were on equal
terms 10 the stretch, where the favorite was
beaten, and though Roach rode him most
vigorously Esperanza held him safe all the
way and won neatly by length in l :02h.
The winner Is a small but wel-turned
FLY, and very speedy; but if Pescador had
been ripe for race he would have easily
turned the tables on the winner. ESperanZa
IS owned by the same gentleman who owns
Altaretta, and was also trained by ApplebY.
Both owner and trainer were warmly con-
graduated on their two consecutive vic
tories. Again the short-enders won. They
got SIG in return for So invested al the
mutuals.

Treat was the first choice at S65, Mamie c
brought SD and the field S23. After Wild
Rose had run away for quarter of o mile,
Jonathan sent them off on good fair terms.
Treat was nearly knocked over in a jostle
near the gate, but picked himself up cevorly
aud went on after Mamie G and Cheerful,
who showed the way to the half
pole, Wild Rose trailing. Then Treat
went to the first place when Cheerful
gave him hard run to the mile, where
Mamie e took hand, but soon fell back.
Treat going on under drive. Appleby, on
Wild Rose, now made run for him, but
timed it too late and Treat won good race
from him by long neck In ! 81. Cheerful
was half q length back of Wild Rose. 1t
was the first win for the favorite. though
the field buyers nearly repeated their former
victories and had a good run for their
money. Mutuals paid on Treat SO 80.
Wild Rose is owned by the possessor of
Alfaretta and Esperanza.
