Frank Northey, the ex-convict who served
a term In San Quentin for jury-bribing, was
said to be the man who caused all tho
trouble. The bank roll amounting to $4,000
belonged TO Northey, and although Neil
made book and acce pied the bets in his own
name. he was simply working for wages.
Yesterday morning all the bookmakers
paid the association $500 apiece 10 transact
business until the end of the week.
NOrthey paid his $500 and the book, ac-
cOTding to Nei's story, had won consider
able money on the first three races. When
Revolver won the Fourth race Neil says he
turned around and found that NnrtheY who
was acting as cashier, had disappeared. He
did not leave cent in the box and the
sheets showed that the book won $500 on
the race. Neil paid 500 In bets cut OF his
own pocket and then threw up his hands.

The attendance was very large and the
fine weather and good track helped TO make
good conditions for racing.
There was nothing sensational about the
races but the reversal in fern showed by
b. c. Holly's horses, Revolver and Sympa-
thetie's Last.
Both, after having been beat couple of
times came out yesterday, and after being

won from good fields in fast time.
Joseph Maloney, young horseman from
Toronto, Canada, made some very bold bets
on the three-year-od event at seven fur
longs. The crack FLY Charmion outclassed
her field so much that the best price the
b0Okmakers offered against her chances was
l to 10. Mr.. Maloney thought this sure
money, and accordingly bet $4,000 on her to
win $500. MalOney won his $500, for
CharmiOn won all the way. Charmer, the
tayorite Tor the place. beat Condo for it
easily. SteadfaSt was the only other starter
Jockey Miller, under instructions from
owner Dan Miller, did not pull up Charmon
when she passed the judges stand, but went
on. He intended to work a half further,
but the niy struck her right forward loot
when passing the quarter pole, aud stopped
running. She limped painfully, so Miller
dismounted and led her back.
Crowds walked down the track to see If
the great FLY had broken down, but finding
satisfied.
The chief feature Of the day was the
winning OF SIT Reel. Goodwins Guide does
not credit this three-year-old son of Alta
aud Dizzy Blonde with even having won a
race. In his youthful career he has been
backed of the boards several times by the
public, been the medium of manv quiet and
big plunges, but regularly proved false to
his supporters.
Yesterday he started in the first race, a
six and half furlong dash, in which ten
skates we're his competitors.
Gladiator was a TO l fayOrite, while
Initiation and Sir Reel, who, as usual,
received plenty Of backing, were next in
demand at 5 to l each. The Others had
from to 70 TO l against their chances.
Initiation, Mount Carlos, Regal, was the
order when the flag fell, and the same posi-
tons were maintained to the half. Round
ing the far turn Regal mysteriOusly fell
back. Gladiator and Sir Reel. who got
away badly, then moved up. Sir Reel out
footed the favOrite, and was third swinging
into the stretch. When they Strengthened
out for home Sullivan cleverly rushed him
10 the front and came home an easy victor
Gladiator, whipped out, was second, two
lengths away, while Initiation flushed
third. three lengths in rear of the faYOrite.
Sir Reel now has many friends, for the
race he ran was very creditable one.
The talent thought that MUntalya could
fall down, then get Up and win the second
race, dash Of five fuTiOngs for maiden two
year-olds, but they thought wrong. There
were but four starters, and Montalva was
made decided favorite at evens. Fatality,
an untried SIT Modred FLY, was freely sup
ported at 2 u to /, the Beauty colt had some
recognition al u, but Semele was fTiendleSs
at 10tO1.
Nell. the Beauty colt took a notion to
run, so after Montalva led him half length
20 the stretch he did run. He got his head
in front of Montalva's afuriong from homo.
ard Williams went to the " hip on the latter,
NarvaeZ sat still on the Beauty's colt, but a
short distance from the finish MODtalva re-
spOnded so gamely TO the last that Narvaez
had to ride hard the rest of the way. In a
driving tilish the Beauty colt got the YER
diet by a neck. Semeie was third, three
lengths away. Time, 1903.
The third race was Charmion's, and then
came the Revolver race. 1t was a selling
affair at one mile aud fifty yards, and had
three starters besid s the pistol horse. AS
AlmOnL was cOnceding Revolver ten pounds
the public would not back him. He'recedrd
in the betting from to TO l. while Re-
VOlver was backed from 2 to to to 3 to 7.

er, was recognized considerably in the place
betting.
When the flag dropped Almont was in

for NarvaeZ sent Revolver to the front be-
fore the judges stand was passed. Re-
volver was never headed afterward, win
ming easily by length from Almont in the
good time of Az. Wyanashott was third,
three lengths behind AmOnt.
The fifth race, a selling event, at six fur
longs, brought out god held OF sprlnters.
There were Joe Cotton, Motto, Sympathet-
les Last, Bessie w and Iukerman.
1t was the betting race of the day. Motto
and Joe Cotton opened equal faynrites at 2
TO l, but Cotton receded TO TO l. Then
plunge on Sympathetc's Last, who was at
2R TO l, brought his price down 10 to 8.
Ihkerman and Bessie W were thought to be
in a little too hot company. Both were out
placed in the early part Of the race, for after
hag-fali Motto shot out in the lead as usual,
and led Joe Cotton a length rounding the
last turn, he head in front of Sympathet-
les Last, who was running easily. Joe
Cotton gave way TO Synlpathstic's Last IN
the hOmestretch, and Clancy, urging that
horse a blt soon overlook Motto and beat
her out easily by a little oyer-a length.
Bessie w and Joe Cotton, who were having
ii hammer and tongs from a furloug to
home in the order named. finished noses
apart half length behind Motto. Therun
was made in 1;14A.
Crawford was decidedly favorite for the
closing event, siX-furong dash, but he
sadly disappointed his hackers by finishing
third. Quarterstaf took up the running at
The drop OF the flag and won all the way by
two lengths from Jackson, who beat CTaw-
ford the same distance for the place.
