Another sunshfny day smiled upon the
Blood-horse Association yesterday, and a
very fair crowd turned out at the races
The track was dried off good deal and had
been freshly narrowed, but the course was
still sticky and lumpy. very unpleasant stuff
to travel in.
The facts reported in yesterdays CALL
regarding Guadalupe, the winner in the
maiden race. we're thorougly investigated
by the judges. and as result Guadalupe
was disqualified, as was also Little Tough,
the winner OF the second money. who. as
we'll as the winner of the race. belongs to
the Idaho stables and suffered with his
stable companion in accordance with the
association rules. All bets have been paid
and cut no figure in the affair, but the first
money for the race falls to the horse who
ran third, Aerolite, owned by c. Z. IRE
vathan, and the horse who finished fourth
gets the place. The decision Is regarded as
a just one, although much wonder was eX-
pressed to-day that the judges should have
allowed Guadalupe to run yesterday in the
face OF Appleby's protests.

the first race yesterday faced the starter al
o'clock. These were Typesetter, Topgal-
liant, Jennie MintZer StOneman. Prince and
Princes First. Topgallant was favorite,
and was regarded as sure TO win. There
was some delay in getting off, as several of
the horses felt pretty fresh and showed a
disposition to waste energy in plunging and
fancy steps. but Starter Rowe understands
his business thoroughly, attends strictly to
II. and keeps the Jockeys at theirs. The
horses got away with Prince in the
lead. St0neman second, Jennie MiniZer
third and TOpgallant fifth.
On the second jump Stoneman took the
lead from Prince, and that gallant scion of
royalty ala not regain il again during the

looking gray horse who does not look as
though he e0ul1 pass lively cOw-pony on a
country road, but he met the challenge of
the favorite as gamely and enthusiastically
as though he had been an epitome OF equine
grace and beauty. Topgallant came up to
his shoulder, and the excited crowd began
TO shout that the chestnut horse had The
race. but the gray kept right along.
HE can't win IT," cried some one in the
crowd. "TOpgallantll pass him in min

II was neck and neck now, the Jockeys
leaning forward, their whip arms working
like the driving rods of steam pumps: a can

nobody minded that. Topgallant's nose
showed ahead for an instant and great
cheer went up. 'Topgallant gets it. He'll

Castro and Santa Fe were scratched from

Misty Morn was strong fayorite in the

Jim X were the other entries. Nellie Van
