Escape

Slightly warmer weather and larger at
tendance were the features of the second
day of the California Jockey Clubs winter
meeting. Betting was lively enough. but
short-enders had little chance to win, for
the simple reason that three of the five
races were won by favorites.
The fifth race was the only exciting con-
test of the day--not by reason Of any re-
markable running. but because two OF the
horses fell, and their riders narrowly escaped
death.
In the first race. six furlongs, Jenny
Mintzer, Dewdrop and Prince were
ridden for all they were worth. Dickey's
mare was the favorite, and those who
wagered their wealth at odds of ten to seven
were not disappointed. At the start Jenny
Mintzer secured the lead by length and a
half and kept ahead that distance to the
wire. winning in 1:16K. Prince ran in Sec
ond, twelve lengths ahead Of Dewdrop.
There were seven starters in the second
contest OF four furlongs-Gypsy Glrl, King
Alph Belle ID. Flora E, Nellie Van. Mount
Carlos ana Joe Hooker Jr The Gypsy
Girl was fayorite at 2h to l and Mount Car
los was next at to l. The horses ranged
up we'll at tho start with Nellie Van slightly
in the lead. Mount carlos got of second
aud Flora L third. There was little change
in the positions until the racers turned into
the stretch. Then the horses became some
what punched and the Jockeys did heavy
whipping. Under the keen lash Nellie L
pressed ahead of Mount Carlos and won the
race in :4Sk. Mount Carlos was second.
length and a half behind Gypsy Girl. the
fayOrite. King Alph was fourth in the
scramble.
OF the six starters in the third race Pes
cador was the favorite and had everything
his own way with Charmer, Iris lilly,
Democrat. Sheridan and Topgallant. When
the flag dropped Peseador led and Topgal-
liant was second. At the quarter Charmer
went ahead Of Tepgaliant and Sheridan
was in the rear of the procession. Pesca-
dor easily maintained the advantage, and
the horses did not begin 10 run IN earnest
until after passing the half, when Sheridan
dropped out of the race. At the tnree-quar-
Ter post aud in the stretch the order OF the
racers was Pescador, Iris flly, Topgallant,
Democrat and Charmer Ieseador won
easily by length in 1:42A. Topgallant
beat Iris llly by neck for the place.
In the fourth event, selling, over course
OF seven turlongS. the starters were Minnie
Elkins. Mabel NJ, Lottie Mills, Cyclone.
Regal and Nellie 6. Lattie Mills was the
favorIte at 2 to l. but the result proved her
TO be somewhat like the preeipitated aero
naut. Nellie q took the lead at the starr,
but she was passed al the quarter by Lottie
Mills. Nellie q was leading at the three
quarter. but some lively whipping was done
on the stretch, and Cyclone forged steadily
ahead until be passed under the wire neck
ahead of Nellie q, who WAS an equal dis
lance ahead OF Mabel NJ. 1t took 1:2SA to
ever the seven-eighths of mile.
Then came the iifth and last race with the
big gray Stoneman as fay0rite at 2h to !.
,nhe other starters were COrinne Bucking-
ham, Mountain Boy, Nipper, Mackey, Lit
tie Tough. Red Rose and Lucy 5. All went
well at the start. and the horses were
punched. StOneman took the lead at the
quarter, and maintained it to the finish.
lie covered the five furloDgs IN l:Ol u.
Npper was second and Mackey third.
Soon after the half post was rounded q
cry Of horror was heard. Lucy S, ridden
by Peters, and Mountain Boy, with Jockey
c. Clancy, stumbled and rolled over on the
track. With them in the fearful fall went
the TWO lightweight jockeys. Soon the
stumbling steeGs regaiBed their feet and
ran wildly under the wire and half way
around lie track. The unfortunate jockeys
were placed iB hack and conveyed TO the
weighing-stand. Clancy escaped with q
few bruises and was able 10 walk away
without any assistance. Peters remained
unconscious for some time. but DR.. Volt,
who made an examination, declared that no
bones were broken and that the rider was
merely suffering from tile shock.
