THE PACIFIC DERBY.
Janus Wins the BlHe Ribbon in
Canter.
Regal, Estrslls, Lottie Mills aud Montana
Capture the Other Purses-Good Times
Over Fast Track.

Picking winners this meeting has been
as easy as falling off a log" said an old
time hacker as he wended bis way TO the
cars alter yesterdays racing. He was about
right. too, as witness the fact that four of
the IS bookmakers have gracefully retired,
leaving only nine to price the odds for the
last four days OF the meeting Nearly every
first favorite has won or been placed right
through the piece, and with one exception
the result WAS the same yesterday after
noon.
Jim Dustin has got the track into very
fast condition, and the times made yester-
day were very good in consequence. Regal
won the opening event, but it was lucky for
him that Inkerman got such bad start, or
that game and speedy Splinter would have
assuredly beat him. He must have covered
the six furlongs IN something like IA.
Janus. hot first choice, won the Pacific
Derby in easy style, and the remaining
races were annexed by Estrella, Lottie
Mills and Montana respectively, all favor
ties. The weather was the coolest and
dulest yet experienced at the meeting, and
the attendance in consequence had thinned
out considerably, although good betting
crowd was present
All the ten colored on the card faced the
flag for the first race Inkerman was a
very hot favOrite. There was half an hours
delay at the post and numerous break
aways, Hennessey being fined 500. The
start was very poor one, Inkerman get
ting all the worst of it, while Regal, on the
contrary. jumped off with strong lead and
soon opened Up daylight between himself
and his field. lie was never caught, and
won by length and half in walk Ink
erman, who was seventh at the start, came
with n wonderful burst of speed and Just
beat Henry L for the place by neck. The
time was very fast-1:14A.

BY Holly has been having very bad luck
with that fine horse Montana. and has lost
barrels of money on him during the meet.
He made no mIstade yesterday, however,
when lie pulled him out for the last race of
the day over a mile and 20 yards. He was
looked on as having a mortgage on the race.
