Meeting.

The Gentlemen's SteepleCilase a
Big Success.
THE TALENT HAS A GOOD DAY.
Midget, Draw Scot, Imported Candid,
TempIemore, Zenobia and the
Bessie Colt Win Yesterday.


Jockey Club closed with yesterday. the
sixty-second day of its racing. only, how
ever, TO open its spring meeting next Tues
day 10 run through April and May. to be
followed by summer meeting which will
continue through June and to the Goth Of
July.
The biggest attendance that has yet
graced the Bay District track was In evil
dence yesterday. especially in relation 10
its proportion of the fair sex, who turned
out in large numbers, attracted doubt
lessly bv the gentlemeD's steeplechase,
which gave promise of excitement from
the greater element of danger that was
mixed up in it, and because the riders
numbered friends and acQuain tances by
the hundreds among those who had the
time and in clnati0n to visit the race
track.
Though there were only four entries the
betting was heavy and spirited. Temple
mors was installed the fayorite partly be-
cause he was the best jumper and partly
because the popular president of the
Jockey Club had the mount on him. He
opened at TO 10. and though for a brief
space selling 6 to 5. when the money was
i
from Z to 5, he went to the post at TO 10.
The fact OF f. Skinner. who rode the WIN
ner of the Reporters Derby last summer.
being up on = rince Idle, had sometEingto
do with the plunge that was made on
Prince Idle. who started at II 10 10. The
big EnglishmaD. who must have weighed
somewhere in the neighborhood of 30
pounds, and ridden great deal heavier.
put Guadaloupe's chances OF success out OF
courG by his avoirdupois. aud the gallant
race run by the horse under such disad-
vantageous cond tions is worthy of note.
The race was about mile over four
hurdles and water-jump. Mr.. Williams
on the favorte took the lead after the
first jump. which was the water-jump,
and held it by about neck 10 just before
entering the flat, where he drew away and
won handly enough by three lengths,
having ridden his horse with excellent
judgment and all the aplomb OF an old
cToSs-country rider. Mr.. Skinner did his
best on Prince Idle, but the horse did not
run as kindly as he did on the last Occa-
sion, and Mr.. Skinner had the sympathy
of the general public with him on the
want of vigor and fitness that his mount
showed. Mr.. Clarence Norwood Jr OF
New York fell off gracefully as the horses
turned into the fiat. but luckily escaped
without injury, and Mr.. Talbot Clifton
also executed tumble at the finish of the
race.
The feature OF the afternoons racing,
and worth long way to go TO see, was the
mile and quarter handicap, Gilead and
i'm ported Candid making grand finish,
which ended In the black mares victory
by a nose owing 10 Felix Carr's more Wig
orous riding. though little Jones did his
level best 10 the utmost OF his ability.
Candid's success is another feather In the
veteran Cy Mnlkey's cap, and is tribute
to the sound Judgment OF the mares I'M
porter, r. +. dc b. Lopez, from whom Mr..
Spreckels, her present owner. bought her.
She won her first race, aslx-furlong event,
last Tuesday. and yet without beng
worked apparently over the longer dis
lance, at least without having been put
through her faciDgs in race or trial over
that distance, she is brought out and wins
The first time of asking. That's what it is
ioIhave q trainer who knows what he has in
his stable and where to put them. Gilead's
defeat was piece Of ill luck for his owner.
With the Jockeys changed there Is but
little doubt but that he would have won.
He Is great colt. and considering that he
was giving the mare six pounds weight for
age and looked bit above himself, ran a
splendid race.
The talent had good day, all in ALL as
the other winners. Midget. Draw Scot,
whom Barney Schneider purchased from
H. A. Brant on Friday, and the Bessie
colt. were all favorites. and Lanoba
very, heavily played second choice. The
Bessie colt IS the first of the Eimwood
stock farms good lot OF two-year-olds to
Wild at this meeting. He was we'll ridden
by George Miller. who. it is hoped. for the
sake of his example to the younger gener-
alton of Jockeys at the Bay District track,
will be seen from now Oh frequently in the
saddle.
