THE RACES A SUCCESS.
Increased Attendance at Agricultural
Park Yesterday.
Four Fine Running Races-Dick O'Ma1-
ley, Lottie Mills, Acclaim and Ger
aldine the winners-An Accident.

There were four splendid events on the
programme, and interest therein was
maintained from the first tap of the bell,
calling the horses to the post, until the
last one had crossed the score in the clos
ing event of the day. The sky was de-
lightful, light breeze blowing from the
southeast, making the day somewhat
cooler than is usual so late in May; still
the weather could be called salubrious by
patrons of the San Francisco course.
The Judges for the day were J. w. Will
son, Daniel Flint and G.. c. McMullen.
Timers, II. Wachhorst, John Mackey,
Jr., and Daniel Miller.
FIRST RACE.
The first race of the day was a sweep
stake for two-year-olds; S25 entrance; Sl5
forfeit; $500 added: second colt to save en-
trance; five-eighths of mile. Pools sold
before the race-Dick O'Malley, los, $40;
Grandee, 12l. $13; field, consisting of
Donna Lillia and Steadfast, 50. Donna
Lillia was ridden by Nichols, O'Malley by
Morton, Steadfast by Berry and Grandee
by Hennessy.
The colts got the flag on the fourth
break away. Dick O'Malley, the favor
ite, at once showed in the front, closely
and together. Going around the far turn
Dick increased his advantage somewhat
and led into the stretch by couple OF
lengths. On the way home all piled the
whip freely. Grandee responded, but
could not overtake the speedy Dick who
crossed under the wire two-thirds of an
open length in the lead. Lillia poor third.
Time, LOS.

Lottie Mills sold for $40. against Sl6 for
drawn. Royal Flush was ridden by Jen-
kins, Lottie Mills by Nichols, and Blondi-
nette by Berry.
This was beautiful race. The colts
lost no time in 'monkeying" at the post,
but got away at the first effort, Royal
Flush and Lottie struggling for the lead.
They ran together from the start until
within a couple of hundred yards of the
outcome, where Lottie justified the conf
dence of her hackers by leaping to the
front and leading Royal Flush half an
open length under the wire in las.
BlOndinette was never in the race.

THIRD RACE.
The third event was the Hale Bros 81
Co. handicap, a sweepstake for all ages of
$25 each, with $3.50 added; one and one
sixteenth miles.
The starters were Owens Bros Cap
tain AL, g. G. Kennedy's Acclaim, I'm
cino Stables Fanny T., Phil. Sieben-
thalers veteran Sheridan, B. G. ;Holly's
Scot. In the pools Acclaim sold for $40,
Revolver Sl1, Captain AL. $40, and the
field $S Captain Al. was ridden by Ward,
Acclaim by Hennessy, Fanny f. by
Sullivan, Sheridan by Spooner, Revolver
by Hart and Draw Scot by Vignes.
The horses were sent off after a few
false starts, Revolver and Scot leading
under the wire, the others well up and on
even terms. ON rounding the first turn,
and when opposite the one-eighth pole
Sullivan, the rider of Fannie T., was
thrown. Fortunately he was in the rear,
and thus escaped being trampled upon
by the other horses. Braw Scot led at
the quarter and held the place until the
half-lnile was reached, where Acclaim
and Captain Al. came up, running eyen
Around the far turn the horses became
well strung out, but punched again at the
head of the stretch. 1t was hot race
home between Acclaim and Revolver,
the former winning by a half-length in
loo, Sheridan third, Scot fourth and
Captain Al. fifth. The riderless Fannie
made the circuit long way in the rear.
AS soon as Sullivan was thrown some
of the stablemen near by fastened 10 the
spot and picked him up in an insensible
condition. a carriage was called and the
lad placed therein, he having by that
time recovered consciousness. 1t was
found that the boy, although badly
bruised and scratched, had no bones
broken. The accident was caused by the
breaking Of his bride, causing him to
lose his balance.
1t was claimed that the mare stumbled
at the moment her rider was thrown and
interfered with Captain Al. cutting him
down so badly as to put him out of the
race.
