from 10 to so 10 /.
1t took Motto her best pace after getting
off third to catch and pass CochecO ana
ST. Croix, which she did after tie first
quarter, and the pace was pretty hot, the
half being done in as. Once in ths lead
she showed them her heels, and led into
the stretch by four lengths. She was still

The Palo Alto stakes for two-year-oId
FLIES, value about $1,000, brought out
field of twelve. Anna Mayes, who was
stake-winner in the East, but no had not
shown up well here, was quoted at the
shortest price, and that in spite of there
being not any great amount OF money for
her.
That splendid pair of fillies, Alesia and
Leo, belonging TO Simeon q. Reed, were
heavily played, opening at 5 TO i and clos
ing at 3 TO >. Amlda and Thelena were
backed the same way at threes and Anna
Mayes closed at one point more. which was
Gladioia's price. The rest with the ex-
ceptiOn of the Empress of Norfolk. who
stood at to /, were at from Fights to for
ties.
Superior jockeyship on the part of Irving
and A. Covington enabled them to get
away In front with Anna Mayes aud
Gladiola, on whom there was a strong tip
out, as soon as the flag fell Anna Mayes
was soon three lengths to the good aud

the inside. Irving perceivIug this went
Tor his whip and Anna Mayes swerving
badly caused, it appeared, Hanawalt on
Leo to almost pull up. The latter then
started to come on the outside, but was I'M
able to get near TO Anna Mayes, who won
pretty easily by three lengths from Alesia,
Leo's stable companion, who got through
very quickly toward the end. Hanawalt's
claim for a foul was dlsallOwed. deci sion
that was received with favor.
Public form was indicated in this race,

The steeplechase was an interesting af-
fair, for the quality OF the quartet of con-
teStantS was poor.
Cuchara and Sherwood made the run
ming and held the lead alternately, the
Undine stables representative being in
that position though on Sufferance. Ell
Dorado was third the entire journey, the
two others out of it from the start Gu

into the stretch, but was half a length in
front at the last jump, finally winning
easily by two lengths. Cuchara was a
strong favorite at 10 5 and to 2, while
to was the price obtainable about Tom
Williams pair.
The last race was run almost in the
dark. Thirteen horses faced the starter,
and all of them passed the winning post,
though two of then were jockyIess, COLI

in Swift and Mechanic being thrown OFF.
The latter had his leg broken, while Swift
was lucky enough TO escape un;njured.

equal second choices at to l, Sir Regi-
maid, who was very heavily backed, clos
