The California Jockey Club presented a
good card to race-goers yesterday, and as
the weather was glorious the atten dance
was quite large.
There was nothing sensational about the
sport, but 1t satisfied the talent, who got
considerably the best Of their argume n
with the bookmakers.
Well-backed second choices captured the
first two dashes. and then four well-backed
fayorites romped homo. thereby causing a
dearth OF financial troubles to the penciers.
There was o race that shone particularly
bright, so we will commence with the first
one, four and a half fnrlong dash for the
short bred jocks" Ii brought out such
flyers as jim K, Gypsy Girl. Joe and Jack
the Ripper among others. and as betting
event ir took the prize.
After the talent scared around for some
time they settled on Jim + as the one most
likely to win.
gypsy Girl, who in the forenoon had won
match race for $3.50 side at three fur
longs from Redlight in 1854, was rated at
u to i. Joe ID being fancied at the same
figures. Jack the Ripper, who had run
sloveniy the day before, had II 10 l against
his chances.
Gypsy Girl got off in front to a good
start, and she. Jack the Ripper and Joe D
made all the running 10 the stretch. Here
Joe ID blew up. and Jim r took shy at the
leaders.
The Girl led all the way home, but had
TO go driving to win by length from Jim
X, who had no easy task beating the indIf-
terentiy ridden Jack the Ripper half a
length for the place.
Broadchurch, who was plIled the last
TWO times he started. was cut loose yester-
day. 1t was a SIX and half furlong dash.
and Little Tough. who, considering the
form that Broadehurch did not show in his
races, seemed an apparent cineh was made
warm to fayorite. Plenty of money
went on Broadchurch at 5 to /, Guadal-
oupe, Vanity, Reta and the other starters
mad little support.
Vanity was first away when the flag
dropped. but j. Webber had Broadchurch
running and consequently was in front the
next lii slant. Broadchurch led all the way,
and won quite handy from Little Tough By
length, he beating Vanity six.for the place.
ne thlrd lace was lay-down for the
goou nlly Seaside. She was favorite at
prohibition odds over Bordeaux and Alexis,
the only other starters. When Miller
caiied on her In the stretch she came on.

slow time OF :04A.

Jockey w. Clancy, 113 pounds, went to the
post an eyen-mOney fayorite, and, strange
10 say, he wen the mile dash in an easy
fashion. He did not run like a lead hoI Sc

faTly lar at any stage of the game.
1t Is said that Joe Cotton was TO have
won 1t. but. as Rudyard Kipling says, that
IS another story
Garcia and Patricia had many supporters

Alter long delay at the post, occasioned
by that Kicking brute Morton, who by way
mas the reputation Of having killed few
peopIe, fsIguson dropped his flag with the
favorite, Revolver, in front. Bronco second
and Patricia third. Bronco and Garcia
made all the running to the three-quarters,
when Revolver and Joe Cotton came on.
Ihey ontiooted the others, and Revolver,

third length away. Time, :4SH
