II TE winter meeting.
In all Of the FIVE races
yesterday some first-elass runners were en-
tered. and the betting was unusually lively
in consequence. There were four starters
in the first race. which was over distance
of four and half furlongs. Geraldine was
the greatest favorite of the day and backed
SO heavily that bOokmakers quickly low
cred their odds from to TO 3 to 5. Misty
Morn came next and sold at to 5. Mount
Carlos was offered at to / and Myrtle at
100 to- l.
When the crimson flag dropped Misty
Morn was in the lead, Mount Carlos was
second. Myrtle third and Geraldine four
lengths in the rear. The favorite stumbled
at the start ana almost fell to her knees.
That is why she got off so far In the rear.
But she did not stay behind many seconds.
By the time the thTee-quarter mark was
reached Geraldine's hackers were begin
ming to breathe little easier. for she had
passed Myrtle and Mount Carlos, and was
closing up on Misty Morn. On the stretch
Geraldine bounded along at wonderful
speed. and without the use of whip or spur,
Jockey w. Clancy rode her under the wire
length ahead OF Misty Morn. Consider
track the performance was remarkable.
Under more favorable conditions the mare
would have beaten instead Of having
equaled the worlds record OF "a seconds for
four and half furlOngs. Geraldine is just
ola enough-Seven years-to be placed in
the aged" class. BIZ: for running. Porter
Ashe claims that she has few equals.
Misty MoTn's run was also rather clever,
and she was three lengths ahead of Mount
Carlos ut the finish. Myrtle was scarcely
''in sight" at the finish.
Considerable wild guessing was done
among the bettors before the second race
When the "bookies" first hung out their
shingles they placed Ida Glenn as favOrite
aud offered TO bet 3 TO l that she would not
win. SO much money was placed on
Charger at 10 l that the odds dropped
until lie became the faVorite at 2 TO /. Odds
were offered against the remaining seven
starters as follows Red Rose to ], Stone
man 8 to l. Guadaloupe 20 !. Huguenot to
!, Alfred b 10 l. LedOn TO and Elwood
20 10 l.
II was a race of six furlongs and Ida
Glenn took the lead at the start Red Rose
started second, Charger third, StOneman
fourth, Alfred fifth. LedOn sixth, Hugue-
not seventh, and Elwood was left at the
post. Stoneman's gait steadily increased
until ne went ahead at the half and kept
that position. For the next quarter be was
pressed by Red Rose. put on the stretch
Charger gained second place and made a
gallant struggle to win. Stoneman, how
ever, kept up his lively pace, and won by
hall length in 1:l6h. Charger beat Quad
aIouDe hree-fourths of a length for place.
Alfred B ran Under the wire fourth, Ida
Glenn fifth. Huguenot sixth and Red Rose
last.
Cyclone was the favorite in the third race
which was over a distance of ffteen-sx-
teenths Of mile. Bookmakers wagered
10 2 that he would not win, and offered 2b
TO l against Mabel NJ, 315 to l Annie Moore,
and L to l Donna Lila. The racers were
star ted of we'll and Mabel M took the lead.
Donna Lila got Of second. Cyclone third
and Annie Moore last. These positions
were slightly changed before the stretch
was reached. with the exception that Mabel
Nj remained in the lead 10 the finish, win
ming by neck in 81 y. Cyclone was sec
Ond and two lengths ahead of Annie Moore.
who gained third place.
There were five starters in the fourth race,
and Little Esperanto was a Slight favorite
over Democrat, who sold at even money
Considerable money was also wagered on
Altus, Nellie G and Fanny Z. Democrat
took the lead from the start TO the quarter,
where lie was passed by Altus. On the
stretch AIiuS was passed by EsperanZa,
Nellie & and Fanny +. Esperanza made a
lively flush and won by length, having
run mile and three furlongs in :26. Nellie
u took the place, Fanny 4 was third and
Altus fourth. Little Esperanza and Fanny
K were both entered by the Encino stables,
and 1t was claimed that Fanny could have
won had she been ridden out"
1t was asserted that both horses should
have been ridden TO win instead of the
faYOrite alone OF course those who lost on
Fanny did the most talking after the race
and made the claims stated.
Geraldine was again the favorite in the
IsaCF ha1f Il. IL

She had everything her own way, and won
easily by a neck in 40. Jack the Ripper
