the Hamline track yesterday afternoon
Semper Fidele, the favorite, and the
mare that the judgment of the talent
placed in preference to any of the other
candidates for the ST Paul stakes. went
to the post as fine as silk. She capered
around to the threc-quarter post friSky
and gay, and all who were good judges
of equine proves, Increased their bets
at once.
She will have walk-away," was the
expression everywhere. But the flag
had scarcely fallen when beautiful
Semper, badly or blindly ridden. ran
with crash against Jugurtha and fell.
BrittOn, who had the mount, fell to the
track, striking on his head, and was
picked up insensible and carried to
room beneath the grand stand. Medical
attendance was quickly summoned, and
the little lock" was carefully treated.
he soon recovered consciousness, and
will be all right and ready to mount
again probably by tomorrow. Sem
per Fidele was caught in the stretch
and taken to the stable. This left the
race practically to Innocence and Bon
ME Byrd, and the latter was most
thought of, although good many lucky
ones remembered that the handsome
Planeraid- Bonnie Harold chestnut mare
had beaten out Lord Willowbrook and
fairly good field, and that she had run
third to Forest aud Minnie Gee, and
she was backed. But, as is stated above,
the heavy money was on Semper Fidele.
Innocence pulled out the race, after
desperate battle with Bonnie Byrd, and
Eli Kindig came in third.
Maid Marlan'S performances in this
meeting has placed the beautiful chest
nut filly Oh the pedestal of popular
favor. and it is difficult to win much
money on her, unless a good deal is
haZarded. Her odds are such as to
drive the great majority from playing
her in the books. She won the first
event yesterday with ridiculous ease,
beating out Bridal Veil and Coda. The
latter had been a tip. but the tip did not
induce money to play her, save in mod
est amounts. She made
Pace That Killed
off the others, and then she came home
about as she pleased. She has really
never been earnestly extended in this
meeting, and just what her possibilities
are is matter of problematic conject-
ure to the devOtees of this track, as a
rule, although there are some who have
studied up her record and know some
what of her past performances.
Judgment induces one to fancy that
Kildare could have won the second
race yesterday were it not Tor Strong
Armed Freeman. He may have ridden
to beat out Lena Frey, but a superficial
view was that Kildare was pulled. 1t
is suspected that the sole object of
Freeman was to defeat Ironroi, and this
was encompassed quite handily. Lena
Frey captured the race under the
whalebone. and CorOnet outran Ironrod
for third place.
Or course. the peerless 70 Tambien
was sold at absolutely prohibitive Odds
There was no betting. and the ''book-
les" didn't want any. 1t was romp
the entire distance, but Harry Ray
might have been urged to second place,
over Carroll Reid.
The sensation Of the day was the cleo
trical run between Torrent and Forest.
This was their second battle in the
meet. and both times Cushing and Orth's
grand son of Harry O'Fallon-Lute
Edger won by head. Yesterday it was
an iEspirating sight. They ran so evenly
that to prophesy the outcome required
the inherent talent OF seer. The
grand stand was the scene OF the ut
most excitement and confusion. There
had been heavy plunging, and many a
heart went humping, land leaped wildly
into many a throat.
Thorpe is deserving of especial praise
might have been serious question, or
doubt, in fact, whether Brltton could
have pulled the race out or not.
al Orth, for the first time, won a
place second to Lockport. Crab Cider,
who Is to start in the newspaper race
tomorrow. was a hot tip, but the
cider was too sour. Lockport was
the SpeedIest of the field and had no
difficulty i'll landing the purse. The
day was success. True, the attend
ance was far from commensurate with
the excellence of the programme that
the Twin City Jockey club put up for
the delectation of its patrons, but there
was fairly good crowd out, however,
ami this week promises to draw even
greater crowds than attended the past
week. Several new horses will start
horses that have entered but have been
saved up for special stakes and good
purses.

Maid Marian made a runaway race

lengths to the good. and then Thorpe
pulled her up for rafting finish. She
