SACRAMENTO, May 1U-A nedVy ram
commenced to fall at about 1880 O'Clock
last night and continued for several hours,
SO that when the early morning broke dull,
cloudy and drizzIy the prospects of heavy
track and no racing seemed a certainty.
About 10 o'clock. however. the sun came
through and dispersed the clouds. A
beautiful cool wind sprang up, and with
the aid of King Sol dried up the track
nicely. the remainder of the day keeping fine.
Six competitors came up for the word for
the trOt for the three-minute class. John
Williams drove Jessie, Ober was up behind
Administrator, Tryon behind Colonel Nc
Nassau. Heating steered James l., and LAT
erty drove Wilde, while Woodland guided
Billy B. Pooling was brisk before the first
heat Jessie selling for $50, McNassar for
S13 and the remainder in the field for S12.
Administrator went 70 the front at the start,
which was effected after nine scores, and he
led right around TO the homestretcb, al
though he made a break or two. Here JeS-
sic and James l. were driven up even with
the leader and a great race ensued to the
wire. 1t ended in favor of James l. by
head from Jessie. who beat Administrator
a nose, Wilde fourth, McNassar fifth and
Billy b last. Time, 2:3S. Paris mutuals
paid S14 %.
James L 500 Jessie So and the held IS,
was now the booksellers cry. The heat pro-
dueed a surprise. There was good start
at the sixth attempt, James l. being driven
to the front and he led at good clip to the
quarter, McNa5saT lying second and Jessie
| third. When the hall was reached 1t be-
came evident that good time for the class
would be made. Round the lower turn and
into the stretch they came, James l. a length
and half in front. with McNasSar coming
fast and Jessie on the inside. One hundred

air and McNassar.. going like clockwork,
passed him and took the heat in 2:27, the
fay0rite being second and coming under the
wire in a break. Administrator was dis
tanCed. MutualS paid S24 so.
James l. stu ruled iayorlte before the
third heat and the five left in got the word
at the first score, McNassar in the lead. At
the elghth-pOle Heating collided with Nc
Nassar's sulky and nearly upset him,
thereby gaining a strong advantage for
James l., and the quintet were quickly
strung out in long procession, with the
faYOrte in the lead. In the lower turn Nc
Nassau closed up a big gap of daylight,
passing Jessie and Wilde. Getting on even
Z terms with James l. the latter went off his
feet. but quickly caught again and finished
first under the wire 10y a length. TTyOn
claimed the foul against Heating. 1t was
allowed and the heat given to MeNassar
Time, 2:2912.
MeNassar seemed to have had enough of

field before the fourth heat. James l. won
the fourth and NTH heats and race in 2:30h
and 1909 respectively, without much
trouble. Iu the fourth heat Heating was
pulling up while winning and the veteran
John Williams nearly caught him mapping
at the wire bringing McCar ly's mare, with
great drive, to within neck OF James l.
at tue wire. On the fourth heat mutuals
paid So 90 and On the fifth and last heat
IS 70. Colonel McNassaT got second money

ton, as Tom SNYDER drove Z,la to victory
IN three straight heats, winning each heat
under pun. In fact the other four con-
testants were either so Outclassed or broke
and tangled MP SO badly that they had to be
driven at a gallop to get inside the distance
