THE FREE-FoR-ALL PACE.
When Judge Peasants announced
that the free-for-sll pace was next in
order, it was greeted with cheers. Silk
wood was given an ovation as he passed
the grand stand, looking finely, and
having his harness decorated with or
ange colored ribbons. w. Wood and
Our Dick were also well received. Ia
the draw for positions, Our Dick had
the pole, w. Wood Eecond and Silkwood
on the outside. The great side wheelers
scored several times, but finally got off
to very even start. The horses went
we'll to the quarter, nearly neck and
neck, in 31L. Soon after the quarter
pole was passed the black PAGER broke.
and Wood and Dick both pulled away
from him. The half was reached by
Wood in :05. From the half to the
head OF the stretch Silkwood paced we'll,
passing Our Dick. The head OF the
stretch was passed in :391a, and Wood
passed under the wire i've lengths
ahead. silkwood second, Oar Dick third.
Time. 2:l4I.
The fast PAGERS again came out to
pratty start. Silkwood led to the quar-
ter in 2931 but from the quarter to the
half Wood clearly outfooted him. The
half was made in :0l1s. the three
quarters in 1:341a and the mile in
2:OS1s. Wood won, coming under The
wire jogging, and five lengths ahead Of
S;lkwood, Dick bad third.
The horses again got off we'll. Silk
wood leading to the quarter in 81 1s; be-
tween the quarter and the half Wood
outfooted Sllkwood and passed him be-
fore the half mile post was reached, in

A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT.
The race was disappointment to
everyone, for nearly everyone expected
that it would be more than three-hcat
race. One thing was clearly proved,
and that was that Wood was TO fast for
Silkwood in the race. Then, too, the
son OF Blackwood had not been handled
right, and the theory on which he has
, been handled was knocked skyhigh.
Without doubt Silkwood is fast. but
before he runs up against race horses
he will have to be conditioned rightly.
SiIkwood badges are cheap in Orange
county tonight; the chrysanthe
wreath that was made for Silkwood and
lett in the press etand WAS not used, and
the pride vof Orange county has been
downed in race which was altogether
too onesided. Nearly every ono who
~ <x ~ k<ook xn ooa a x,,;1a
paced in 2 06 or even better. Perhaps
It would have been done il Silkwood
could have made W. Wood 20. He
didn't and the Santa Ana track record
was only lowered quarter of second.
THE 2:27 TRoT.
The 227 trot brought nine starters to
the post, Irene Crocker being the favor
ite, Lady Clare second choice and H. M.
Stanley third. The other horses which
started were Alta Reins, Jack, Peter
w., Lady Glare, Bob Mason, jr., and
Tono. With such large field it natur-
ally followed that considerable time wac
spent in scoring, and that the start
should be an uneven one. After while,
though, they got off fairly punched.
The quarter was made in 341a with
Irene Crocker leading; the half in :081a,
the third quarter in / "A and the mile
in 2:20. Irene Crocker first, Tono Sec
ond, Lady Glare third, Matte P. fourth,
H. M. Stanley fifth, Peter w. sixth, Bob
Mason. jr.. seventh, Alta Reina and
Jack distanced.
In the second heat the quarter was
made in 3634, the half in 1:l21a. three
quarters in :48I and the mile in
2:23A. Won by Glare, Tono second,
H. M. Stanley third. Matte p. fourth,
Peter w. fifth, Irene Crocker sixth, Bob
Mason seventh.
In the third heat the first quarter was
reached in 81, the half in 1:l334 with
the horses going very evenly, the three
quarters in :59 and the miie in IA %.
Peter w. first, Tono second, H. M.
Stanley third. Lady Glare fourth, Irene
Crocker fifth, Matte P.and Bob Mason.
Darkness coming on the race was con-
tinued to tomorrow.

Orange county horses, five bobtails faced
the wire, being Queen b., Sweep, Lay
to, Dandy and San Luis. But few pools

ond, San Luis third, Queen B. fourth.
