RED=HOT PACING.
Hazel II Goes Into the
Free=for=All.
BONNER IS BADLY BEATEN.
Silver Bow Took the Two-Year-O Old
Trot, Easily Beating Aria and
MarcilioneSs.

The Oakland track was two or three
seconds faster yesterday than it was the
day before, and one of the results wa:
that Hazel II. the buck-jumping PAGER
that Billy Jonathan has been handling al
summer. was forced into the free-for-al
class. From now on she will have TO &C
against horses like Wood and Dubeo. and
she will find it pretty hard work to ge
any of the money. Her owner and hi:
friends must have nice cleanup on hel
yesterday. though they were betting al
kinds of money on her at every stage OF
race and the other three horses which
were iii it had plenty of support.
Hazel opened a hot favorite, there being
plenty of coin to play on her at $50. with
$50 for the field. including Cyrus and
Creole. and about SO for ROsita a.
In the first heat Hazel Il won almost as
she pleased, Creole being the only one
who was at any time in q position to beat
her, He was about even with her 100
yards from the wire, but she hustled him
along so fast that he left his feet. Cyrus
apparently was not sent alter the hrst
heat. he was last most Of the way, but
moved up a trif1e in the stretch. just
about the time he reached the distance
flag he cast shoe, but that occurred too
showing. He beat Roslta for last place.
Before the second heat the demand for
Hazel II tickets had increased, but Cyrus
was well supported, while Rosita A was
almost entirely let alone.
Lawrence took the old gelding back biT
going round the first turn, which is sharp
and ugly, but once he got squared away
on the backstretch he soon closed up the
gap and at the three-quarter pole he was
Tapped on the favOTite. 1t was ding-dong
through the stretch, and almost until the
last moment it looked as though the mare
would win. Then she made one of her
celebrated bucks and the ground lost in
getting her Strengthened out gave Cyrus
the heat.
This of course made him a good deal more
popular and be sold on almost even terms
with Hazel. But there was an overplus
of Hazel ii money, and she was soon , 10
favorite again.
Both the two first heats had been paced
in 2:14l, records for both horses. No one
thought there would be any faster time
made. In the third heat, however, Hazel
behaved splendidly and set such merry
clip that she reduced her mark TO 2:13A
besides beating the others. Cyrus was
close up and his friends were confident of
victory for him.
Only he and Hazel started for the fourth
heat. They paced within a length of each
u
the stretch neck and neck. The crowd
watched them anXi0usly, knowing that if
either made mistake the other would win.
They were travelling pretty fast and
Hazel was tiptoeing.
'She's up" shouted the army of men
who were watching her; and almost in
the same breath, Cyrus WINS il now"
But just as Hazel left her feet Cyrus fal.
tered. and before he could be steadied
Hazel was pacing, and in half dozen
strides was under the wire. She had to
travel along, though, in 2:12A to beat The
gelding.
Next Saturday the same field, with the
addition of Plunkett and Ashton, will
come together again.
Silver Bow. on the strength of his per-
formances, was made favOrte in the two
year-lrot. He won easily in straight
heats, although Aria, Palo Alto filly,
showed speed enough TO have gwen him a
better race had he been driven as skillfully
as was the winner.
Bonner \ 3, horse from the Montana
circuit, was installed as a tremendous
favorite.
Everybody having in mind what a good
thing Bishop Hero was. wanted to play
him, and almost any price was paid TIE
prevailing odds were Bonner $50, the field,
including Mabel II, King Orc ana Elec-
trina, SIG, and Doodle SO.
After acting baGly at the start and
causing long delay by his refusal to
score. Bonner got off well, but his driver
allowed Mabel 81 to cut him off on The
first turn. He dropped back almost out
of it, but closed up with rush. Mabel II
was too far ahead and Won by several
lengths. In the second heat Bonner went
out in the lead and lasted long enough to
win. The pools had taken "A slump, and
after Mabel IL won the third heat, tickets
on him calling for $40 were sold by their
holders Tor S.. Mabel II won the fourth
and deciding heat easily. Bonner gave
her an argument for the first part of the
journey. He died away badly at the finish,
however, and had to be whipped and
urged to save his distance.
