Charles James Won.
Fog hung in great banks over the Bay
District track yesterday afternoon during
the closing events Of the Trotting-h0rse
Breeders Associations summer meeting
So thick was the atmosphere that at times
the horses were entirely shut on: from
view. Notwithstanding the dismal
weather the usual crowd of turfmen were
in attendance and made the betting very
lively. Only two of the four races on the
card were won by favorites.
For the first event. mile heats, two in
three, for the 2:22 class OF trotters. there
were only three starters. Lucy B was
FIRST choice and sold readily in the auction
pools al $50. against the field. consisting OF
Ros. S and Lizzie f. Owing to Ross S
breaking repeatedly under the wire there
was great delay in starting. When the
patience OF the spectators was nearly ex-
hausted the trotters were started. Lucy
B took the pole and held the lead all the
way round, winning easily by three
lengths in 300. Ross S was second be-
cause Lizzie was set back by frequently
breaking.
The second heat was repetition OF the
first. Lucy winning by three lengths in
2:22R. Ross S was again second.
There was a lice little surprise in store
in the three-for-ail trot. Edena was a
red-hot favorite aud was backed to the
tune OF thousands at the following odds:
Edsnia S25, Steve Whipple Sl2. field (Shy-
lock and Lottery Ticket $40. Again the
start was made very tiresome, Lottery
Ticket breaking no less than dozen
times before reaching the mark. Edenia
got off on the pole, but Whipple soon had
the lead and held it until the close, win
ming by length in 2:15 Edenia was Sec
ond and Shylock third.
Whipple then became the favorite and
for twenty minutes another stream of
god flowed into the pool boxes. Whipple
sold al $40. Edenia S33 and field 81. In the
second heat Whippls again sprung out in
the lead and won the heat and the race
handily by a length in 2:17A. Edenia was
second and Lottery Ticket again brought
up the rear of the procession.
A two-mile dash for the 2:25 class Of
tr0tters was the third event. There were
four entries. and Melvar, who formerly
trotted under the name OF Marvel, was the
first choice, selling at $S5. as against $40
on Flora 5 and $40 on the field, IN which
were Daylight aud Langford. Many had
overlooked the fleet qualities OF the roam
mare Flora S, and were somewhat sur
prised at the easy style in which she
trotted the two miles in 4:57. winning
without break by three lengths Melvar
WAS second and Langford third.
1t required three beats to decide the
fourth race, which was for trotters of the
2 40 class. Charles James was the favorite
and was backed at 500. as against $40 on
Mustapha and S26 on tho field, CON sisting of
Sid Ray, Emma Abbott, Carrie Benton
and Maud Fowler. The six were started
evenly on the seventh score. Mnstapha
took the lead. Running into a cloud of
dust after passing the three-quarter marx

Both trotters had to be brought to a
