The morning call., 1893-01-18

racing was carried on from start 10 ilnlsh.
Judging from the big crowd at the track,
Henry Schwartz has good chance 10 wlnd
up his battle with the Blood horse Assocl-
alton with flying colors. In every respect
the second day of tie winter meeting was
as successful as the opening last Saturday.
Only one entry was scratched In the hrst
race, which was over a course OF four ana a
half furlongs, and there were eight starters.
Queen Bee was the favorte with the
"bookies," and sold at odds of to l, against
3 10 on jim +. 3 TO l on Jack the Ripper,
10 / on StOneman, to l on Charger. to
on Young Thad. 10 to l on Quarterstatf
and 20 TO on Myrtle. Stoneman surprised
the hackers OF the Queen by taking the
lead and holding it. Jack the Ripper got
off second, Myrtle third. Queen fourth,
Jim X fifth, Charger sixth. and Quarterstah
was left at the post On the stretch the
leaders were we'll punched, but Stoneman
went speedily ahead and easily won by two
lengths in :57h. jim Il ran under the wire
second, neck ahead OF Charger.
Some OF the betterS found fault with ASA
Hamilton's starting, claiming that had the
racers been sent off evenly Charger would
have won easily. Be this as it may, HamII-
ton is considered n frst-class starter, and
little fault is ever found with his work.
Estrea was the favorte in the second
race-seling, three quarters Of a mile-and
in the books sold at to s. Vanity came
next at even money and Elwood was OIL
fered at 10 to /. Elwood got off in the lead,
but the big. numbering gelding had about as
much chance to win as a trnckhorse. From
the half post to the flush the order OF The
procession was Estrella, Vanity and FL
wood The fay0rite won without an ef-
fort by three lengths in LII. Vanity was
about forty lengths ahead of ElwOOd, who
hana mn thot bn bnOnan
outside fence and tried to straddle it.
Cyclone, Fanny I and Altus were the
starters IN the third event. which was
pretty race Of fiteen-sixteenths of a mile.
The odds offered by the "bookieS" were
to 8 on Cyclone, to Fanny T and to
Altus. When the flag dropped Cyclone
main tanned his reputation as an atmospheric
distnrber and bounded off in the lead. And
he stayed there. AT The half post Fanny
gave up second place to Altus. In the same
position they ran to the stretch where the
contest became exciting. Altus closed the
gap but cou'd not pass Cyclone, who Won by
neck in :4Ob. Fanny was only half a
length behind Alius. No one was disap-
pont ted, for the horses ran just as the turf
men had predicted.

race, which was a handicap of one mile and
seventy yards. Dickey's horse Sold al to
against 9 10 8 on Garcia and TO on Little
