IOf 1nuTbQ6ys
The races yesterday were far above
the average, but the attendance was not
as large as expected. The complete
programme was run off, however,, and
the Arend band discoursed excellent
music during the afternoon. There will
doubtless be much larger crowd pres
-ent this and Thursday afternoon. ]. G.
Newton, Capt. A. w. Barrett and r. r.
Brown were in the judges stand, and
Ed Smith handled the red flag. There
was tedious delay in getting the horses
off in the first heat of the Cabinet
purse, but those who attended got value
for their money.
THE FIRST RACE.
The first event on the programme was
the seven-eighths of mile handicap
for 2-year-olds. Motto, Capistrano,
Combat and Bridal Girl sported silk.
Motto was made red-hot favorite.
There was quite difference of opinion
as to which one of the other three would
get the place, Bridal Girl eventually
becoming the choice of the talent at
even money. Combat and Capistrano
were also we'll played for the place.
The start was very ragged one,
Motto getting the best and Capistrano
decidedly the worst of it. The race
does not need an extended description.
Motto was never healed and won in
cAnter, Bridal Girl securing the place.

THE LOS ANGELES HANDICAP.
The next race, the mile handicap, at
tracted considerable attention as the
general impression prevailed that it
would be a horse race.
The starters were John Treat 121,
Acclaim liz, Ben HI. 95 and Regent 90.
Acclaim, the speedy daughter of Three
Cheers and Rosette, was terrific favor
ite, but John Treat had host of sup
porters.
A capital start was effected. Regent
and Ben H. at once being sent out to
make the running and the pace was a
scorcher from the start.
1t was a pretty race around the back
stretch. Acclaim and John Treat grad
ually improved their positions. Whips
were piled coming down the stretch and
there was a whole lot of bottled up ex-
citement when Treat, under the whip,
began to crawl up on Acclaim. Bally
shook up his mount and she responded
like Firenzi and won by length in
the excellent time of :424. Ben H.
just beat Regent for third place. The

The third race was one-half mile heats
with Jim Duffy, Ida Glenn, The Jew
and Hercules. The San Bernardino
horse was made the favorite, but The
Jew, Hercules and Ida Glenn each had
host of supporters. In the pools Jim
Duffy brought $40 and the other three
brought IS apiece. I'll
There was a long and aggravating
delayat the post, the auartette giving
the starter no end of trouble. The
jockeys were all apparently over
anxious to get away in the lead. The
flag fell after innumerable breakaways
to good start. 1t proved to be horse
race from the jump. Cook, on Jim
Duffy, was soon at the head of affairs,
with Ida Glenn close up and The Jew
and Hercules neck and neck. The order
was the same at the head of the stretch.
1t was great fight down the stretch.
Little Sullivan, on The Jew, began to
work like demon, and he was soon on
even terms with Duffy, and beat tie
San Bernardino horse by nose, after
slashing finish. Ida Glenn was good
third. The time was .48s.
The second heat was watched with
the greatest interest. There was de-
cided change in the betting, The Jew
being backed down to 7 to 10, while Jim
was unfortunately left at the post,
through no fault of the starter. The
gray gelding refused to bulge after the
flag went down, and whirled around.
The trio made pretty race, and it was
any ones race down the stretch. The
Jew, under Sully's pilotage, gained the
verdict by nose from Hercules in the
fast time of .4814. This gave The Jew
the race, and the hackers of the long
end were jubilant. The summary:

The last race was a special between
King George, Idaho Chief and Rube.
The Chief was made the favorite and he
won, with King George good second.
Rube got several lengths the best of the
start, but the pace was too fast for him.
