eral race-gOing public and the horsemen. |
The above was the result to-day at the sec
ond days racing of the San Jose Fair AS
ISOLATION. There was marked increase in
the attendance, and much interest was
taken in the three events OF the day, espe-
cially in the district stallion race. where
strong local feeling was shown. Both the
weather aud track were all that could be
desired.
FREE-FOR-ALL RACE.
The free-for-all trotting stakes for two
year olds, $500 added, showed up two very
fast youngsters in the Palo Alto brown
colt AriOn. by Electoneer- Manetta. and the
San Mateo Stock Farms brown FLY Sabina,
by Sable Wilkes-Eya. II. P. Perkins
brown colt Rosiris. by Iris-Rosy W, very
happily named. also took part Rosris,
however, was a little lame and was not
prominent in the contest leaving the other
two to fight tout At the Breeders meet
Ing last week Palo Alto beat both Sabina
and ROsiris with Starlight in >: IS and 2:3l.
The original Palo Alto entries included
Starlight though when the measure OF Sa-
bina and Rosiris was fully taken. and when
Marvin started AriOn in preference to the
others, any close: observer might have
known that Arion was better than Starlight.
At the Breeders meeting the betting was
Starlight $50, Sabna and Rosiris S. To-
day the betting opened aud remained at
Aron $50, Sablna and Rosiris So. 1t surely
was good Judgment to bet on Palo Alto, il
any betting ever is good. and it fully proved
So Sabiua broke just at the wire on the
third score and Arion had an easy heat,
leading all the way and beating Sabina
about four lengths in 2:31. The quarters
were Q: SO, 1:17, "a and 2:31. Sabna came
very fast the last quarter, but could not
catch the colt
ARIoN WINS THE RACE.
1t was Arion S25 and the field S. for the
second heat. They went away on the first
score with Arion in the lead. Sabina went
after him hotly AMI Marvin took the colt TO
the quarter in 81 !, aud 10 the half in :12h. |
SaOlna five lengths back. At the three |
quarters in 1:4S Arion was eight lengths |
ahead. Up the stretch AriOn came home |
fast aud beat Sabna five lengths TO the wire |
IN 2:251 y. Bur for the distance being waived |
Rosiris would have been shut ont. Aron is |
atypical Eiectioneer, with the thorousnbred |
strain, and moves very frictonlesS, without |
any waste motion. He promises 10
be quite a prominent member of the |
Pslo Alto string. Arion never made a
break IN either OF the heats
TIE DISTRICT STALLION RACE.
james Boyd's Billy Thornhill, by Wilkes,
NJ. Carriers Nutwood Wilkes, by Guy |
Wilkes-Lida w, d. Harris Delmas, by Al |
mont Queen, and Bay Rum, by John Seven |
oaks-kttie ), showed up for the District |
Stallion stakes, with $500 added. Though |
NutwoOd Wilkes was the juvenile of the |
lot being only three years old, the others |
aged, he was, on reported fast work, made |
the faYorte at $50, against SIS for Thorn |
hill and $40 for the other TWO. II proved a |
mcst interesting race, requiring six heats to |
decide. AT the finish ThornhilPs greater |
age and staying powers, aided by the supe- |
Iior skill Of Billy Jonathan, landed him the |
winner, and made all the shOrt-enders, who |
bought him in the field for IS, against $50 |
for Wilkes. very well pleased with their |
luck.
THE FIRST HEAT.
In the first heat Bay Rum led to the half, |
where Wilkes took the lead to the three |
Quarters. Up the stretch Delmas beat him |
home by length in 2:29k, Thornhill third
and the hair tonic horse last.
THE SECOND HEAT.
Pools sold for the second heat as follows:
Field SIS, Wilkes 81, Thornhill Sc. Thorn |
hill and Wilkes had a sharp fight all the
way, Wilkes winning easily by three
lengths in 2:29h, Thornhill second, Del
mas third and Bay Rum last.
THE THIRD HEAT.
Now Wilkes brought SIS, the field SIS and
Thornhil IS for the third heat 1t was
close contest between Wilkes and Thorn
hill, the three-year-old going very gamely
and winning a good heat by two lengths in
2.2IR, IhOrnhill second, Delmas third, Bay
Rum last
THE FOURTH HEAT.
1t required some persuasion from the
aucti0neers to get IS for the field against
$40 for Wilkes for the fourth heat, but
quite good number Of pools were snapped
up By tn, Sc obseryant players who saw that
Thornhil was pretty fresh yet and Wilkes |
rather tired. They also knew that Dona-
than still thought well of the horse and |
that he. like his steed, was more fitted for |
brushing race than the others.
Wilkes went away in front, and at the !
quarter led Bay Rum two lengths. Demas |
third and ThornhIll last, ten lengths back.
and apparently out of it. At the half
mile Thornhill took third place, and at the |
three-quarters the outsider was second, and
only length behind Wilkes. Whips were
used smartly all the way home. Thornhill
staid there most gamely. and with Don
athan's greater experience over Wilkes
driver, made the youngster stop at the cross
ing and give up the battle. Thornhill win
ming by three Lengths, Wilkes second Del
mas third and Bay Rum fourth. The time
was 2:2S1a, which was very good for
fourth heat Bay Rum, under the rule, was
sent to the stables.
THoRNHILL WINS THE RACE
The odds stood Thornhill S25, the field SIS, |
for the fifth heat. Wilkes and Delmas were
too tired TO fight ii out with ThOrnhill, who |
won 1t In 2:32R, and also the sixth and de- |
cistve heat, on which there was no betting, |
in 2:31 in the easiest manner. Jonathan |
was cheered for his good work, and Mr.. !
Boyd, the owner of Thofnhill, was heartily |
congratulated by his many friends.
THE PACING RACE.
As 1t was getting very late, in fact il was
nearly o'clock before the last heat was de-
cided, the judges sandwiched the pacing
purse OF $500 f0r the 2;25 class with the
stallion race. Boswell Jr. was too lame
from strained tendon to start and was
drawn. The starters were: Jesse Potters
green four-year-old PAGER, Charley c. by
Piedmont: j. A. Goldsmiths Allannah, by
Guy Wilkes; L. S. Smiths Dr. Swift by
haywood. and Martin Carriers Ida w, |
by Nutwood, the latter mare being. by the |
way, the dam of Nutwood Wilkes, the |
three-year-old that battled so well with |
Thornhill in the District Stallion race
Charley Z, named in honor of Charles |
Cassidy, a clever little driver only IA years
old. who has worked him up to his present
speed, was the pick of the talent espe-
cially as it was known that Hickok would
drive him. He brought $40 for the first heat
against S14 for Swift and S13 for the field
HickOk made no move for the heat, which
was taken by Allannah after sharp fight
with Swift by two lengths in 2:19h. Ida
w was third and Charley G last
The mutuals paid S12 So on the heat.
THE SECOND HEAT.
Charley G was the fayOrite still for the
second heat, and brought $50 against $40 for
the field and So for Swift. Allannah and
Charley z were the factors in the fight
Charley led the mare by half length to the
half mile in :09. and also to the three
quarters. Goldsmith drove Allannah very
hard up the stretch, and was close on CHAR
ley all the way, but Hickok had something
In reserve. and though Allannah made a
game fight she could not head the horse,
who won, with Hickok apparently not over
urging him, by half length In 2:18n, Swift
third, Ida w fourth. The winner probably
can go near 2:15 if imperative circumstances
called for the occasion.
CHARLEY G WINS THE RACE.
The pools sold. Charley C $50. Allannah So,
for the. third heat. which Charley took
bandily By a length from Alannah in 2:21h,
Swift third and Ida w distanced. No bet
ting was had ON the fourth and last heat
