PEEL MAKES AN APPEARANCE
He Had All of His Old-Time Speed,

long space. The racing yesterday was up
to the average. and the starting was one
of the bright features. 1t was goUd in
every instance, and goes to show what Mr..
Ferguson can do when he tries little bit.
Joe Hooker Jr., who has run himself
into. form, worried the talent greatly by
defeating the favorite, Ida Glenn. in the
opening dash, a selling affair at five and ID
half furlongs. The race brought eight
very common plugs to the post, but as Ida
Glenn had been fighting at the finish for
first or second money the last few times
she had raced, the public plunged on her
chances at 6 to 5. Mount Carlos, who al
ways runs into a place. was the second
choice. AS much as 20 TO could be had
against Joe Hooker Jr. and some Of the
others. but very few people were bold
enough to play him.
Joe Hooker Jr. got off IN front to good
start. the favorite and second choice
getting away last. Hooker led all the
way, and staving off a rush of Ida Glenn's
at the finish won eeverly by three parts
OF length.
Ida Glenn got pocketed a furlong from
home and could not get out until too late,
otherwise she might have won. Johnny
Webber secured third place with Mount
Carlos. whom. probably In iii of disgust,
he did not ride in his usual vigorous style
Joe Hooker Jr. was entered to be sold
for $500 and his owner let him go to Peter
Webher, who bid him up TO $500.
" The ve.furlong dash for maiden two
year-olds was won by the favorite, POlask
quite easily.
There was short delay at the post, oc-
casioneG by Alexis throwing young Dona-
than and running away quarter of a
mile. Then Ferguson sent them off TO a
good start. Rhodanthe was first away, but
Remus passed her at the turn and led
around to the stretch. where Polaski rushed
up from fourth position and passed him.
Remus then fell out of it and Polaski gal
loped home an easy winner by six lengths
from ViVace, who beat Alexis third for
place.
A field of six contested in the third race
selling affair at six furlongs. Abb P and
Red Cloud attracted most of the attention
of bett, rs, and the former apr cared to be
slight fayorite in the closing betting
Abb certainly justified the support of her
hackers, for alter Regal. who got off in
front, led her around to the stretch she
passed him and beat Broadchurch, who
challenged her at the finish. by a neck.
Red Cloud. who was crowded to the rail
on the backstretch by Yokohl. was third
three lengths away Burlinghame, Red
Clouds rider, claimed foul. but the
judges decided that 1t was unintentional
and therefore disaliowed it.
The maiden race. at seven furlongs, for
three-year-0lds and horses that have not
won in 1892 OF 1898. brought Peel. who a
few years ago was quite a racehorse. to
the front.
Although he had not raced for few
years on account of the ''dickv' condition
of his legs the talent thought he would
have no trouble beating such bad lot as
Louise, Lake County, formerly the Lever
EFT illy, COnnaught and the John A geld
a al f.U iea
The post at to 10. He did not get the
money though, owing TO being interfered
with on the backstretch by Lake County
After good start Connaught was the
first TO show. Louise did not let him re-
main in front long, for before they had
travelled sixteenth she was out in front,
racing for dear life. Peel, who got off in
second position, fell back going up to the
half, and when Lake County bumped into
him he dropped into last place and looked
hopelessly beaten. AT the turn for home
Louise was leading Connaught two
lengths. while he had four the best of
Peel. When the two Strengthened out for
home EppheTson commenced TO ride Peel,
and he responded to his urgings
like racehorse. He gained on the leader
at every stride. and at the drawgate passed
Connaught as if he were standing still
and went after Leuise. His rush was too
late, for although Williams had to go to
the whip on Louise, she had enough of
an advantage TO beat him three parts of a
leng h. Louise was 10 to l in the betting
Connaught was third. three lengths back.
Had EpphersOn ridden Peel around the
turns he could have won. AS it was,
notwithstanding the fact that he was in
terfered with, he laid too far out of the
race.
Lodi. the favorite in the last event on
the card, selling race at five and a half
furlongsI won quite handiy from the
Ea urat1 Ill,
North length for the place. The winner.
who was entered to be sold for S400, was
bid up to SS05 by Attorney Ach, at which
price his owner bought him in.
