FAVORITES BADLY BEATEN.

Neither weather nor attendance was very
encouraging at the Bay District track yes
terday afternoon. Itwas the opening day
of the winter meeting of the California
Jockey Club.
There were ten starters in the first race
of five furlongs for purse of $780, When
the flag dropped the horses were well
punched. Princes First quickly gaiued
the lead and held it to the wire. winning in
1:m%. Quarterstatf ran in second and st.
Croix third. The others were scattered far
in the rear.
More interest was taken IN the second
contest, which was for purse of $500 and
over course of FIVE furlongs St. Croix
was the fayorite. but according to the order
OF the Gay fayorites were not "in it," and
he had considerable difficulty in securing a
place. The racers started off in a bunch,
with Nipper slightly in the lead. at the
turn Mount Carlos forged ahead and kept
there on the stretch. Twas a pretty flush,
Mount Carlos leading Stoneman by neck.
St. CfoiX was just q neck behind StOnemau.
The three horses running a neck apart on
the homestreich and under the wire created
considerable excitement, the winner being
in doubt 10 the last.
While the five entries in the third race of
a mile tor $500 purse were being exer-
csed there was a commotiOn in the betting
ring. 1t was caused by Sam Bowley striking
w. NJ. Sinclair, the owner OF Stoneman, a
singing blow in the face The men had
dispute over the way StOneman was run in
the second race, and before Sinclair could
explain or remove his hands from the
pockets Of bis big ulster he found himself
SPRAYING on the ground. Before Bowley
could renew the attack he was surrounded
by friends and carried forcibly away.
After many false starts the horses were
got under way with Royal in the lead and
Altus second. At the quarter Jenny K was
ahead, Fanny second and Altus in the
rear. At the three-auarter post and in the
stretch Jenny X kept the lead, with Altus
second, Fanny I third and Malcolm last.
The race ended with the horses in the same
position. The feet mare Fanny carried
the mile In "A.
There were several bitches 10 the next
contest, which was over a course of six fur
longs and for purse of $500. Jenny
MiutZer was the fevOrite at 10 !, and the
"bOokieS" had raked in considerable money
when the judges declared all bets off. This
was because the weight TO be carried by
Princes First had been increased from 104
to l52 pounds. After this change was
made, however. no change was made
in Ilfe betting, nth the exception that moth
ing was wagered on Princes First. All OF
the horses got of on a false start, except
Hugueuot, and the jockeys kept on 10 the
close, although j. j. Sutton, owner of
Benny Blue. sprang out on the stretch and
tried 10 check the racers by wildly waving
his hat. IyrOna won the farecal race, and
ran all the way TO his stall before jockey
jackson could check his speed. Huguenot,
who remained fresh, then became the fav-
oTite and sold at even money. Starter Rowe
finally sent tile horses of we'll and Hugue-
not took the lead. On the stretch Folly
forged ahead and won by half length in
1:l6S4. Huguenot was second and Tyrona
third.
In the fifth and last race. selling, seven
furlOngs, for purse OF S400. Cyclone was
the fayorite. From the start to the turn
Crawford had the lead but on the stretch
he was passed by Mabel NJ and Cyclone.
With great effort Mabel NJ forged half
length ahead Of Cyclone and won the race
in 1:26$l. Cyclone ran under the wire see
0ud and Crawford third
