crowd of bettors at the Bay District track
yesterday afternoon as Howard & Leach's
mare ran under the wire neck and neck
with Jack the Ripper.
But the excited turfmen were mistaken,
for the judges promptly declared the finish
of the first race a dead heat. 1t was the
third day OF the California Jockey Clubs
winter meeting, aud the conditions for fine
racing were most favorable. The weather
was moderate and the track fast. The sun
shOne brightly when the bell rang for the
horses TO line up for start. Before the
races were over. however. the sun became
obscured and chilling winds swept in from
the ocean. Again it was bad day for short
enders, for fayorites captured the laurels
and purses in three out of the five races.
In the first contest, which was over
course of five furlongs, NJ. j. Kelly's st.
CroiX was the favorite at odds of to 1.
The other starters we're Red Rose. Charger.
Queen Bee and Jack the Ripper. From the
start to the three.quarter post Jack the
Ripper lead Red Rose. Queen Bee and
Charger. st. Croix brought up the rear.
Turning into the stretch Queen Bee made
gallant struggle to win and closed up with
the Ripper until her hackers shouted
Queen Bee wins by nose," in their excite
wire simultaneously with her. and that is
why the judges declared it dead heat
Red Rose ran in length behind.
In the betting that ensued for the next
twenty minutes Queen Bee was a decided
favorite aud considerable money was
wagered at odds of to l. When started
for the deciding heat the Queen ran neck
and neck with the Ripper until the stretch
was reached. Then Queen Bee sprang
ahead and easily won by six lengths. She
covered the five furongs IN :O212, just
minute slo yer than during the dead heat.
Quarterstaff was the favorite in the sec
ond race or five and a half furlougs, and he
did not disappOint his hackers. His oppo-
nentS were HuguenOt. Flair, Miss AIDA.
Bonnie Blue and McGnns' First. At the
start McGinnis' First had the lead and the
others were well punched. On the stretch
Quarterstaff went all cad and maintained the
advantage to the finish, winning by six
lengths, in :0SA. HuguenOt ran in second.
half length of McCilnnlS' First.
Centella was a decided favorite in the
third race. which was over a course of a
mile and one-sxteenth, and the "bOokies"
would only wager l against on the fleet
mare. There were only two other starters.
Sheridan and Minnie Elklns. Centelia did
not try to run until she reached the three
quarter mark, and then she went gracefully
ahead. winning by four lengths in AS u.
Minnis Elkins beat Sheridan a length for
the place.
There were six starters in the six-furong
handicap race. Ledalia was the favorite.
and next came Crawford, Charmer. Phoebe
Ann, D0na Lila and Alto Mo- Crawford
took the lead from the start and kept there
to the wire. winning by head in 1:14A.
Ledala was second aud Dona Lila third.
Some were unkind enough to say that Craw-
ford won because Jockey c. Weber
dropped his whip before the race was half
over.
Four runners started in the fifth and last
race. 1t was selling contest over a mile
course. Revolver was the favorite because
it was hnted that his rider, Jockey Miller.
generally goes in to win. Miller did ride
as though he meant business. and Revolver
easily won by three-quarters of length in
:43R. Initiation beat Atus length for
second place, and Mabel NJ was left in the
dim distance.

The winter meeting of the Jockey Club
winds up this afternoon. 1t had been in-
tended to run four days more next week,
but as President Williams explained 1t
yesterday, slim attendance and a scarcity of
good horses caused the clubs programme to
be curtailed. The opposition races that
start at the Oakland track to-day had con-
siderable to do, however, with the change.
There will be two special events at the Bay
District to-day. One is that Marigold will
run against all records for four miles, a
horse to race against her each mile. and the
other is mahogany" mile derby tor col
ored riders.
An admission fee will not be charged at
the Oakland track to-day, and there will be
a large attendance. Liberal purses will be
given and an elaborate programme has been
arranged. Most interesting will be mile
handicap. free tor all
