REPORTERS RODE.
But There Were Only Two
in the Derby.
THE. BAY DISTRICT RACES.
Contests Were Won by. Warrago
Nero, Inkerman, Redlight and
;Broadchurch. -.

Chilling winds swept over the Bay
District Track yesterday afternoon and
the: big crowd of spectators shivered and
applauded at regular intervals as they
watched the performances of the fiers.
The event OF tho day was the reporters
derby, but as it was last on the card, the
crowd had towait patiently for it. until
nearly dark. -. - =
Carmel was the favorite for the first
race. but. like mostot the favorires Of the
day, he had hard path to tread. II
was. a ceiling affair for two-year-Olds,
over a course Of five furlOngs and a half.
From the start to the turn WarragO ard
P0lasky raced neck and neck in the lead.
Carmel made desperate struggle on the
stretch, but he could not overtaKe
Warrago, who. won bya length in 1909.
Carmel was second, and Realization third:
A handicap Of one mile and furl0ng
was the second event. Canny Scott was a
great favorite and heavily backed at oven
money. 80.
-Canny was started in the lead. and
Nero, with Charlie Weber up. remained
in the rear for nearly half mile. Little
Charlie Is clever fnisher, and showed It
on the stretch, when Nero sprang out OF
the ruck and won by nose in ! :57. Canny
Scott gained the place and Garcia was
third :. -.
There were eight starters la the handi-
cap of six furlongs Inkerman. the favor
lite, won, but he was given hard rub Dy
RsindrOp, long shot. RaindrOp soon had
the lead after the start, and thore> was
some lively shifting of positions. On the
stretch Inkerman took the head of the pro-
cession and ran past the post length
ahead of RaiDdrop. Bronco was half a
length behind Raindrop and gained third
place. MerO's time was :15.
In a free-for-all scramble Of three fur
longs there were four starters. Redlight.
Gypsy Girl and Nellie Van ran evenly at
the start and Mosby, 80 to l shot,
was some lively whipping on the stretch
and Redlighr won by a length in So
Gypsy Girl was second and Nellie Van
third:
Then came the so-called reporters
derby. but as there were only two re-
porters among the six competitors it was
not much Of an amateur race after all.
Red Cloud was red-hot favorite because
Mr.. Merry. who came down from Sacra-
mpnto to ride him. has had considerable
experience in riding and training. So
much was wagered ON Red Cloud that he
was backed off the boards. -.
: But the talent overlooked BrOadchurch,
ridden by Mr.. Skinner, who has won many
hurdle race: Perhaps the only turf re-
porter in the contest was Ed MOrphy of
the California Turf, who piloted w. Over
ton: Dinero was ridden by.a Mr.. Camp
bell. Currency by MIR. Forsland. secretary
of the present meeting, and Vanity by Mr.
Mattes0n of Oakland. -
Of course the spectators did considara BILE
'joshng" when the riders, in brilliant
jockey costumes: appeared on the track:
but they did not realize that. there: was
not a green un' in:the whole six. ;.
9 The runners were started q, evenly on the
'breakaway and: Red Cloud. quickly took
the lead. Those who: backed Red Cloud
thought. he would surely finish the mile
several lengths ahead and howled them
selves noarse. They had overlooked Broad
church. and his sklllful rider, however.
Skinner showed his good judgment BY. not
squirting until the: stretch was reached.
Then he let out Broadchurch, and before
the excited spectators realized the move he
was at the post. two lengths ahead time,
:461h. Red Cloud was: second. Dinero
third. Currency @fourth, Vanity fifth and
Overton last. Morphy, who had SUCCESS
fully guided Overton around the curves,
distinguished himself after the finish. : In
stead of checking Overton after passing
the track several times. and some were I'M
kind enough 10 sayshe fell off.
