fair tack, sunshiny day, with o cool
breeze blowing. large fields. exciting finishes
and sensational defeats served to make the
eighth days racing Of the Pacific Coast
Blood-horse Association genuine success.
The crowd was somewhat lighter. but specu-
iation seemed to gain in heaviness what the
crowd lost in numbers. The sensational
features OF the day were the defeat of Zal-
diyar, the Derby crack, in the mile race,
the wonderful win OF Bernardo. which goes
far to show that he is the best three-year- old
at the track. and the win Of the Sir Modred-
Colum5ine FLY, the rankest Of outsiders, in
the opening dash. The liberal odds offered
by Messrs. Sam Allen and Jim Wall from
Melbourne forced prices to be good, and the
result OF their legitimate bookmaking
caused quite a revolution in the ring. every
one being satisfied with the all-round prices.
Every winning stable was enabled thereby
to get on at good odds, and there was no
complaining on the part of spectators,
who, alter all, form the bulk Of the racing
public.
The four two-year-olds colored on the
card Tor the opening half-mile dash re-
ceiyed an addition 10 their ranks in Dan
Mlllers Charmlon. Dan McCar,y's colt
NarvaeZ, who had never yet run in a race,
was made hot favorite as he was touted
as the best In that lucky stable. He was
never In the race. When the flag fell to a
good start the Columbine FLY Jumped off
with the lead with Tigress close up and the
favorite third. The latter dropped back at
the turn for home and Aerolite came up
third. The leaders were too far ahead.
