literally backed them. In the first race Ap-
plause, the favorite, had everything his own
way, but In tile next event fielder left the
favorite. Vince. in the dim distance.

inasmuch as the favorite was downed and
Wild Rose, fielder, carried off the hOnOrs
and tho money. Vince was regarded by the
sporting men as sure winner" and was
backed to the extent of S25 against SIS for
the field. The field was a good buy" as
Wild Rose surprised every one but his
owner and rider by leaving Vince. the
"sure thing" animal, four lengths in the
rear. So nicely was the three-year-old
driven by Spence that he covered the course
OF nine-siXteenths of mile in just 571a
seconds; very good time for an average
horse. Night Time gained the place and
Vince was third.

After a dozen breakaways in the third
race, which was five-eighthS of mile, Red
Cloud enlivened things little for Jockey
Lloyd by slipping the bride and running
away. Two hundred yards beyond the wire
Lloyd jumped off and turned two summer
saults before rolling in ditch. He was not
badly hurt, but asked to be excused from
riding in the race. Red Cloud ran away
second time. He was not excused and did
Just what had been eXpected-lost the race.
Before the start Dan McCarthv's stable was
backed to the tune Of $50 against the horses
in the field. Romair had things his own
way from the start, and won by five lengths

The sun had disappeared and the man in
the moon was struggling for a view of the
track, when the days meeting ended. 1t

from the Berkeley hills in fierce, chilling
gusts. Every one was pleased with the
races and still more pleased when they were
over.

twenty-mile race, will be run off at the
