The morning call., 1893-05-31


and the many ladies in
the g7andstand seemed
to thoroughly enjoy the sport. The ladies.
most of whom are wives and relatives of
the owners of trotting stock, have no use
for official pool-buyers. as they do not bet
like those of their sex who follow the run
ming turf.
Speculation on tue various events was
quite brisk, but expressions of dissatsfac-
ton were heard on all sides regarding the
Paris mutual system of betting.
There are three boxes where So bets are
accepted. They handle thousands of dol
lars in small bets, which is divided among
the holders of winning tickets, less the
enormous commission of 3 per cent.
Why the association permits 5 per cent
to be deducted in the mutuals. where the
small bettorS bet. and only per cent in
the auctions, which handle thousands of
dollars of rich mems money, is matter
hard to understand.
Dozens OF men who were specializing
had kicks to register with the reporters ana
any one who would listen to them against
the system.
Then when man won bet he had to
wait nearly an hour to get his ticket
cashed. Two and three hundred men
would stand in a line in front of little
shanty waiting to cash their pool tickets.
Messing or speculation on several races,
while standing in line, awaiting the leis-
ure OF the slOw-mOVing cashiers.
The directors of the associa ton, seeing
that it is a failure, have decided to hold a
meeting to consider the advisability of
| having boOkmakers transact business on
| the races, in lieu of having the public
play against the Paris mutuals.
The opening evelt, mile dash. brought
six good-lOoking tw0-year-olds to the post.
Silver Bell was greatly nced, and in the
auction pools she brought S12, while
Soubrette sold for Sc and the field.
| in which were Genevieve, Marchioness'
| Glendora and Little Mac, sold for $40.
The youngsters were sent off to a rather
| struggling start. Silver Bell. who got
away none too we'll, led around the first
turn, where the others all commenced to
break. They wers all strung out at the
quarter. where Silver Bell was leading
Genevieve several lengths. Marchioness
was third, few lengths back. Silver Bell
led around to the stretch, but Genevieve
and Marchioness bad made up lot OF
ground. Silver Bell was leading a six
teenth from home. Genevieve second and
Marchioness, who was coming very fast
along the rail, third. Silver Bell broke,
and MarchiOness looked like a winner.
for she was moving faster than Gen evieve.
Sher followed Silver BelPs example and
| broke nearing the wire, thus letting Gene
We've win. Silver Bell. who had regained
her feet and was trotting well, nipped the
place from Marchfoness. Time. 2:41b.
! The next event was the free Tor all pace,
mile heats. 1t brought out Our Dick,
Rosie c and Tom Ryder. Dick, who was
always a big fav0rite, won the first neat
after drive with Rosie G in 2:1615
| In the second heat Heating seemed to
take things rathez' easy with Our Dick
| and consequently Rosie C got within strik.
n q frnO hOr
| Mcdowell made 8 pretty drive with the
mare and made dead heat of it, with Our
| Dick in 2:17A.
In the deciding heat Dick won all the
way from Rosie c in 2:1634, Ryder as
usual. finishing Third coupe of length:
! off.
The butchers race was embarrassing.
| There were four Starters. but G. Johnson's
! gray gelding Dandy and A. Decourtieux'
chestnut gelding Ianzanita were the only
ones who could tr9t bit. Dandy. the ia
yorite. won in straight heats, both OF
which were timed in 2:37R.
In the 2 % class, trottlng the Palo Alto
farms Donchka was greatly fancied by the
talent. as was E,ectrina Donchka sold
for S40 in the, auction pools, Electrina S3S
and the field, COMPOSED of Antioch, More
and Sir BRANDON, sos. Electrna won the
first heat in 2:26, leading all the way, and
apparently winning with lots to spare.
Antioch was secohd. Dunchka third, while
Moro and Sir Braadow were distanced.
| Electrina won the second heat as easily
as the first. Antio9h second and Donchka
| third.
The match race between Daylight and
| Langford, at two miles and q Quarter. was
the next on the card. Laugford was an
| overwhelming fav0rite. buying $50 in the
| auctions against Sc for Daylight. Dav-
light led for the Jirst mile and quarter
and then Langtord went to the front and
! led around to t, stretch. At the draw
! gate he was apparently winning, but a bad
was couple of lengths back, trotting
strong. came on land won in 40, among
! great cheering from the short-enders.
Jim Z, the IaV0:site in the trotting dash
at mile and 4 furlong, was beaten by
Belle Medium. The race. which had but
three starters, was quite exciting. for they
all drove home for the money and finished
nrcks apart Belle Medium. who led
most OF the way vor. with Jim c second
and Richland thi :. Jim G was disqualL
! fed for breaking. Eve times, so the place
went to Rlchland. Time. 2:4Sh
