looked by the masses, although those
who always prefer long shot chances
found the day mighty profitable. A
certain business man returned from
Hamline with several thousand dollars
more than he took to the track, and a
lot of the locks" and stable boys were
jubilant last evening over their davis
winnings But all who persist in play
ing on judgment-upOn pedigree and
past perf0rmanceS-made good dOna-
tions 10 the bookmakers.
1t was not an ideal day, else the ex-
ceptionably big programme would have
attracted one of the largest crowds of
the season. 1t was card worthy any
track, but at the hour when the patrons
were preparing 20 take either the train
or street car, a drlZZling rain set III be-
meath a lowering sky. 1t threatened to
continue throughout the day. and many
hundreds, if not thousands, turned
backed, denying themselves of the
pleasures and eXcitementS of the day
rather than face a menacing Jupiter
PluviuS. The track was muddy and
very slow, and this accounts not only
for the slow time recorded IN the diff
ferent events. but for the many
scratches. Dev0teeS had hoped to see
Ho Tambien and Yale '9l face the flag
together with Bolivar Duckner, but the
first two scratched and Buckner found
no one in the company 10 even make an
interesting finish.
AS was anticipated, Maid Marian had
walkover i'll the first race. Calhoun
was the colt, however, that outclassed
the balance of the field, and "Cush's"
pride showed how easily he could dance
his heels in front Of NaryaeZ and Snarley
the Smuggler. Tillie s, in field that
she clearly outclassed, landed a purse
handily. She was not so heavily backed.
however, as she would have been under
different conditions. Tillie is with foal,
and rather inclined to worry at times.
She had disappointed her friends once.
and they were 10th to venture heavily
on her defeating i.Ockport, Corinne
Kinney and Hamline in the mud.
Ed Greenwood Is another that had
proven signal disappointment earlier
in the meeting. and he was little thought
of. Lookout, Cushing and Orth'S two.
year-old son of Troubador-C Christina,
had given satisfactory evidence of his
proves, and also that lie takes kindly
to mud, and he was the not favorite at
even money. Tom Kelly and St. Croix
were considered good things also, and
the result was that Ed Greenwood, start
ing at TO !, went up to odds of to /.
He ran out the race, defeating st. CroiX
and Lockout in whipping finish.
Of course. Yale 81 was the only horse
in the fifth race, but still he had been
beaten by Lillian Lindsay, and the
prohibitive odds drove off the great ma
jority of his friends. Harry Ray car
ried big money, but he was sad fail
ure, for he did net even get place.
Yale '9l romiied over tie distance, d
mile and 4 furlOng. through the mud.
and without distress, winning as he
pleased from Bonnie Byrd and The
Clown. Judge Arkell, it was considered,
should have literally ran away from
Col. Wheatley, Dewberry and Dollikins,
and he was followed from first 10 the
post, at odds ranging from even to 9 to 5.
But Col. Wheatiey split through
10y nose. while Dewbprry had two
lengths the best OF Judge Arhel.

the prett!est finishes ever witnessed on
this track. 1t was a run that demon :

ing i'll the midSt of the party, he split
through like tie wind, and astounued
the others who were riding easy with a
feeling that the victory had already
been Wrestad from the party.

Maid Marian opened in the books at
to 4. and WAS soon backed down to 2 to
9. These were pyohibitive odds. and no
more money Of any great amount was
laid. Calhoun was well thought of at
odds Of to l. Some looking for long
shots experimental with NarvaeZ at
odds of y TO l. and Snarley the Snug

proceedings with the drop or the flag.
Thorpe allowed her to 60 out and make
the pace, and she was never over

place. but was quickly suppianted by
