For the second race. five and half fur
longs. Tim Murphy opened up at to
and even money. Hal Fisher was at 8 to
8. although one bold bookie had the temer-
lily TO chalk up to 2 to l against him. and
there was such mad rush for his stand
with money that Hal Fisher at once di-
vided favoritism with Tim Murphy. po-
sition out of all proportion to his ability as
a racehOrse. AS good as II to could have
been had about Crawford, and TO for a
place, and great deal of money went in
on him at that rate. There were long odds
against the others, who were practically
friendless.
There was only one horse In the race and
that was Tim Murphy, who took the lead
from the drop of the flag, and never left
the result in doubt He was challenged In
turn by both Crawford and Hal Fisher,
but neither could make him extend HIM
self, and he won with the greatest ease by
three lengths from Crawford, who was
Tapped by Hal Fisher; the others beaten
off.
Gascon was made favorite in the third
race, mile and fifty yards, opening up at
to and closing at the same price. He
was heavily backed by the regiment of
cinch players, who must have felt more
than disguised to see a selling-plater like
Garcia, odds OF II to 1, go out and beat
him. The defeat OF the favorite was due
in great measure to the false pace that
was set to the head of the stretch, which
Garcia reached four lengths to the good.
This made it Impossible for the Etna
crack TO recover that amount of ground
within himself. Revolver, who had been
considered sure of the place. had to put up
with third position.
Then came the sensation of the day in
the meeting between the cracks Wildwood
and Flambeau.
1t was an even money about Flambeau
and Wildwood in the fourth race, and take
your choice. The odds varied fractionaiiy.
hut they were practically equal favorltes.
There was some money for Pescador sup
piled by the hare Drained contingent, and
he was listed at 10 to l at the close.
Pescador cut out the running for quar-
ter of mile, but was too slow for the two
behind him. Flambeau was sent after
him first, and Wildwood quickly followed

In the last race for twO-year- four
horses figured as equal favorites. Florina,
Road Runner, Nelson and Wandering

Nelson ran like quarter horse to the
stretch, where Wandering Nun easily
