BRIGHT BOMBED.
The PalO Alto flare Won
the Futurity.
STARTERS WERE DISTANCED.
1t Was the Event of the Oakland
Meeting and the Only Race
Worthy of Description.

There was a genuine surprise at the
Oakland Trotting Park yesterday. 1t was
nothing more or less than a race worthy
of description. OF course every one can
readily guess 1t was the Futurity stake for
ree-year-0ld trotters.
No accidents occurred although three
running races took place on that dangerous
inside track. The fact that this interest
ing Futurity was to be held attracted a
much larger crowd than usual, aud the
weather being perfect many representa-
tiyeS of the gentle sex appeared in bright
colGred costumes.
There were seven starters in the Futur
ity. Bonibel, born and bred at Palo Alto,
was the favorite and was backed heavily
at odds of $40 against $40 on the entire
field. which consisted of Eros Jr Direct,
Phantom. Mialma, Margaret Worth and
May Flower.
Long be lore the race the majority of the
turfmen felt confident that The Palo Alto
mare would win. The owners Of the
other tr0tters entered were of the same
opinion and went so far as to offer Bon bel
first money not to run. in order to insure
their horses for chance to capture tie
second. third and fourth purses, worth
respectively $1,000. 5000 and $500. They
we're afraid that Bombed would distance
the field and not only secure the ptrse OF
$1,000, but the remainder of the money as
WELL
While the seven three-year- Odds were
being warmed up on the track their back
erS were warming up the betting In the
poolroom. During the scoring Eros Jr
and Mayf1Ower showed a propensity to 60
''uD" that was alarming to their owners.
On the eighth score the trOtters were
started for the first heat, with Bombed on
the pole and leading. Mialma soon
broke" l Direct was then last, and the
others well punched in the center At the
half. which Bonibel. reached in 10, the
trotters were going in process sion.
Phantom was second, hut broke. and be-
Worth passed. her. Turningl into the
stretch Bombed trotted gracefully to the
wire, winning the heat handiy by two
lengths in 2:29A. Margaret Worth was
second, Phantom third and NJ ialma fourth
E1os Jr.. 1 Direct and May Flower were
distanced. The waving Of the red flag
sent the uDlucky trio to the stable.
With equal ease and without break
Bonibe won the second heat by length
in 1904 Margaret Worth was second,
Mialma third and Phantom fourth.
The third and last heat was trotted
faster, Bombed winning the heat and the
race by three lengths in 2:26R. The
we're the same as at he end of the second
heat. This gave the first prize to Bonibel,
the second to Margaret Worth, the third
to Mialma and the fourth to Phantom.
The other five events are set forth for

The summer meeting Of the Golden Gate
Fair Association closes to-day. Ben
Wright says he would like to follow it up
with several weeks racing, ana will do so
If he can get half d. zen 'bookies" to buy
privileges. Local turfmen, who still have
fresh in their memories the disgracefnl
jObbery OF Wright's winter meeting, are
not very jubi!ant over the present scheme.

Pet won second money and Little Witch
third.
One pacing and two trotting contests, in
