Races.
THREE FAvORITES WINNERS.
Don rlongano, Monte Carlos, Joe,
HuguenOt and Quarterstaff Win
Glory and Purses.

Favorites won In three of the five races
at the Bay District Track Yesterday after
noon. 1t was the ninth day of the summer
meeting. The attendance was as large
and the betting as lively as usual. but the
band played such dispiriting airs that
many of the runners fairly wIlted as they
logged over the track. No records were
broken and perhaps the music had some
thing to do with it.
There were nine starters in the first race,
which was for two-year-0ld maidens and
over a course of five furlOngs Agitato
was slight favorite and got off in the
lead. 1t was lively scramble until the
stretch was reached, when Don MOngano,
who was hugging the inside rail. crow ded
up on Agitato and won by a neck in :03115
Agitato beat SOLITAIRE half length for
place.
A half-mile dash was the second event
and Monte Carlos was strong favorite at
odds of II 5. Our Dick was a long shot
and some one started a low-d0wn tip that
he would win. The talent backed him so
heavily that the "bookeS" quickly dropped
the odds from 20 to l TO 10 to l and then
refused to accept any more money on the
gedlng. 1t was false alarm, however,
for Monte Carlos won easily by half a
length in 80. Our Dick was second and
Lydia Ferguson third.
Joe was the favorite in the third event,
a selling race of six and a half furlongs.
The gelding had an easy thing from the
start, but he was not let ont until in the
stretch, when he took the head OF the pro-
cesslon and won by half a length in 1921 q.
