placing its money on losers much oftener- than
it has on winners. In fact the talent" Is badly

Last Chance, bay geldng by Regal Wilkes,
from a mare by Artburton, captured the rae, in

wise talent played Senator l. in the next race

sure thing. In the pools he brought $50 to SIS
for Sacramento, 50 for Luster and So for the

straight heats, driven in mastery manner by
Thomas Snider.
The next race on the programme was for
| two-year old PAGERS. The knowing ones who
had lost their good money on the two previous
events thought they saw an opportunity now to
get some Of their money back, so they made
W. w. Foote the fayorite by paying S15O for
him as choice, though $25 for Lou Lane and
S25 for the field was all tley could get against
IL. Foote got the worst OF the start in the first
heat, but showed his wonderful speed, went
round his field and won The heat in 2:23. After
this heat no pools could be sold in the auction
stand, as none were willing 10 wager a cent
against Foote. few tickets were sold in the
mutual boxes, however.
The result of the race showed that the talent
had again gone wrong. for the second heat was
taken by Cecilia, ana the third ana fourth by

showed his wonderful speed by pacing the sec
