the First Race.
OHIYEsA DIDN'T LIKE MUD.
Heavily Played for a "Cinch"
He Failed to Show.
REY ALFONSO FINISHED SECOND.
Jack RicheIieu Wound Up in Front OF
George F. Smith, Who "Blew Up"
After a Very FIattering Run.

dramatically speaking shin took it,
would hardly be called good English, but
in this instance the rules of grammar must
be defied, for in the first race yesterday
Peter Weber's gelding Hymn took the hrsI
race in clever fashion, going to the post
7 to 5 favorite. and starting the beiun &
fraternity we'll on the road 10 fortune.
But it was a very crooked road they had
to travel. and from now 90 to the mllleu-
MUM Tom Kiley's colt George f. Smith
will linger in the memory OF com0lna ton
players with a tondnesS llKened unto a
Bernal Heights goat.
Ohiyesa's defeat in the second race had
most depressing effect on the talent, but
they rallied, and after favOrltes had
landed the next two races all the money
went on George +. Smith to win the last
race, who. after running part OF the
Journey like a Domino, exploded and
finished a fading third.
Felix Carr won on three mounts.
1t was a toss up with the talent between
Hymn and Doc6stadter, the former going
to the post to 3, the latter s to g. Banjo
with 10 to l against him ran a very clever
race. The other Starters were Jake Allen.
Little Tough, Kathleen, Queen Bee,
North. Sir Reginald and Charmer.
Banjo. Little Tough and Hymn got the
best of q struggling start. Doekstadter
getting away poorly. As they passed the
half Hymn. followed by Kathleen and
Sir Reginald, were kicking mud in the
others faces.
As they entered the stretch Weber
turned wide 10 get the hard path, and
Hinrichs on Banjo, making a short turn,
made uD considerable ground, and al
though he ran a fine race was unable to
catch Hymn, who swerved badly at the
finish. being beaten two lengths. Dock
stadter made a fine run, finishing fair
third. Time, 1:12b.
3 Jake Allen was left at the post.
Ohyesa opened up 10 favorite for
the second race at seven furlongs, and see
ing nothing else in the race a catch-as-
catch-ean wrestling match took place
among the talent to get on at that price {;
but the bO0kies could not stand the pres
sure, aud his price speedily came down to
10 10. Old Blue Banner was second
choice at fours, while the 'gimpy leg ed"
Remus was an to 1 shot Trix, Mura
colt, May Day, Talbot Clifton and Ethel
Dixon also started.
RemuS. Blue Banner and May Day
broke away in front. the favorite getting
away a bad sixth. and in these positions
they ran the whole distance. Remus win
ming bv two lengths. Blue Banner beating
May Day three parts of length for the
place. Time, 1:34h
For the third race. a short six-furlOng
sprint, Rey Alfonso opened up favorita
at TO 3, but a plunge being made on the
Nellie PeytOn FLY, her price came down
from 10 20 even money and the big
Prince of Norfolk colts price receded to
2 to !, but considerable money going in on
him at post time he closed to g. The
bookmakers were very liberal with their
prices against the other starters. Gasser,
Roma, Rodegap and Flirtilla
Nellie PeytOn, with her natural fondness
for muddy going, soon opened three
lengths of daylight between herself and
Rey Alfonso, and although Sullivan rode
the Gonzales colt hard he was unable to
gain foot on the Darebin FLY, Flushing
second, five lengths back of her at the fin
ish. Several lengths further away Roma
and Gasser fought it out for third money,
The former getting the verdict by a head.
Time, :16R.
On his two former victories Enthusiast
was made hot IavOrite for the mile SELL

favorite over his field, which comprised
CURT, Hy by, Alexis, Royal Flush and
Little Cripple.
Johnny Weber's Little Cripple was sec
ond choice at TO 8, but was hardly equal
to the task of lowering the cOlors of Pat
Dunne's good gelding.

Barney Schneider has a great penchant
for pulling down the last race with one of
his infirmary horses. SO after all the
moneyed people got tired playing George
