BLOOD-HORSE RACES.
Large Attendance and Coed
Racing Yesterday.
Fairy, Don Furlano, Revolver and Zaldivar
Capture the Purses - The Opening
Day a Great Success.

Some $500 people wendell their way home
ward through the cleaning from the Bay
District track yesterday evening after en-
joying the opening afternoons sport of the
blood-horse spring meeting Everything
passed off most successfully. and, although
the weather was provokingly changeable,
there being periodical and alternating waves
Of fog, cold wind and sunshine. still the
rain held of, and thus broke the record of
rain on every April for ten years.
There was little or no betting on Fairy in
the opening event, over mile, as it was a
fact that she fairly outclassed
her two opponents, Captain Al and San
Pedro. Speculation was therefore confined
to place betting, and Captain A. ruled de-
cided favorite for the position. The trio
were saddled up in good time, Captain Al
taking preliminary breather over a mile,
as he is little short In his work Fairy
looked splendid and fit to run for mans
life, while San PedrO's appearance was not
very attractive and he was somewhat frac-
tlous. very moderate start saw Fairy
get length the best of it, aud going in easy
style she had never any difficulty in keep
ing in front. San Pedro lay length behind
her round to the half, where Captain Al
joined issue. and, as they entered the
stretch. the latter was a clear length behind
Fairy with San Pedro on his quarters
Fairy then came away and won In a walk,
Captain Al stalling off a challenge from San
Pedro, and gaining the place by half
length. Time, l 43.

A great rush was now made for the pool
box and bOOkmakers' stands, and betting
received quite flip, owing to the fact that
Fairy bad nearly paralyZed speculation in
the opening event Sir Roy was quickly
played into first favoritism, while Bridal
Vel, Don FuTlano and Aerolite were close
on one anotheps heels for second chi0ce.
AS they paraded past the stands the major
ity were such good lockers that the race
seemed harder than ever TO pick. Dan Me-
Carly declared 10 win with Bridal Veil.
There were four breaks and then Sir Roy
got his bit between his teeth and ran away
right around with Dick Ward. From first
favorite he immediately went back to to !,
and Bridal Veil was priced first
choice. At the start Don Fur
lano was strong first fayorite
After tedious delay of 50 minutes at the
post, chiefly caused by NarvaeZ's anxiety to
get away on Bridal Veil, the start was
effected. and the fayorite got away in the
lead. Bridal Veil was close up. and she
soon passed Don FuTlan0, led her field into
the home stretch and ii looked all over bar
the shouting. great cheer went up from
the stands, however. as Porter Ashes gra nd
Drown colt was seen TO come again, pass the
turing Bridal Veil and win haGdily by an
open length In 10 So seconds; McCarty's
hily was second, with Sir Roy third on her
quarters, Aerolite close up.
