The morning call., 1892-12-10

with the flag, and. being unassisted by any
other members OF the association no hot
favorites were left at the post. as happened
In tbs first race on Thursday.
One or two startling reversals of form
were noticed. and there was considera BILE
dissatisfaction expressed at Gareia's per-
formance in the last event. There was even
talk OF an investigation, and Schwartz
stated that he was very much annoyed at
the start his horse got. claiming that the
son OF WlldIdle was crowded over on 20 the
bank aud did not get going till il was too
late.
As the field. however, was we'll punched
at the haf-mile and Garcia held good
position throughout, the bookmaker does
not seem to have any substantial grounds
for complaining.
The day was very cold and dull, and the
tan IN front of the stands is so thoroughly
saturated by the late rains that most people
were not sorry when the last race was over
and move could be made for warmer and
drier quarters.
Only three went to the post for the first
race, and Marigold and Fannie f, with
" eber up. were made great favorites at 10
10 The issue was never in doubt, fer
Marsg0id went off in the lead, and being
never headed won just as she pleased from
Gladiator, who beat the more-fancied Fannie
very easily.
The four and half furlongs scramble
WHICH followed set the public guessing
W d L, II
and Nell Flaherty being next in demand at T.
Nell flaherty got well away and, always
having bit In hand. won easily from Jack
the Ripper, who beat the e-fancied Jim
K by four lengths for the place. The
favorite was never prominent aud could
not get nearer than sixth.
Minnie Elklns was hot favorite for the
third race at to o. and the public made
no mistake, for she won all the way from
Tyrona,. who was fully a dozen lengths
ahead of Flair.
Backers had done pretty we'll so far and
they were again right when they picked ST.
Crox as the best thing in the fourth event.
About ten minutes before the race should
have started it was found that mista ke
had been made in entering Gold Dust as a
maiden, he having won an event at Fresno,
which at the time was given 10 Dick
OMalley. The mistake was afterward
rectifed and Gold Dust officially declared
the winner. so the judges barred him out of
Yesterdays race and allowed twenty min
uteS Tor new book. st. CroiX was, if any
thing. better favorite in the second
editions, Gladys and Aerolite being next in
demand.
4 long delay was occasioned by Bonnie
Blue breaking StirTup-leather at the post
but at last they got off, with San Felipe
Frank EvapS and the fayorite in the lead.
The two saints were in command in the
stretch. and for little it looked as if Felipe
was going 10 win, but ST. CToix wore him
uONU. anu Litll6 10ugD. coming WITH a
rush. San Felipe could get no nearer than
third. The ill-tempered Frank Evans, after
holding prominent position, quit most IN
msiakably in the last 2O0 yards.
Garcia, al to 5, was the public pick in the
lastevent. Cyclone. Alius and Sympathetic
Last being next in demand at 4 TO /. The
race was pretty one. all being punched at
the quarter, half and three-quarter posts,
after which Cyclone and Regal came away
the former winning by two lengths, with
four dividing Regal from Sympathetic's
