DAN McCARTY'S BAD LUCK.
Dates Fixed for the Jockey
Stake Events.
THE FIRST TO BE RUN SATURDAY
Ottyanna, Conrade, Zoolein, Reali-
cation and Blizzard Carry
Off the Purses.

There was quite a large crowd of turf
patrons at the Bay District track yester-
day, and the sixteen EOokmakers who were
doing business had as much as they could
attend to, for the crowd was eminently a
speculative one.
1t looked az first as If the talent were 60
ing to have it all their own way, for two
very warm favorites carried off the first
two races, the third fell to a heavily played
second choice. and the fourth event saw
another favorite in front, who probably
carried the most money of the day. But a
big dump came in the last race, when

starting at ffteens, won in most handy
fashion from Seville and Oakland. who
were backed to a standstiil at even money
and to 5. 1t must have been Dan Nc
Carty's unlucky day for him to have al
lowed the good son of imported Trade
Wind to 60 to the post without the Pleas
anton sack behind him.
Barney Schneider must have easily got
back the money he lost On ZUolein last
Saturday, as he invested largely on him
in the fourth race yesterday, which he won with
conSummate ease. ZOolem's performance yes
terday on the fearfully heavy and muddy track
be seen by comparison OF the time made in
the four races on the programme which were
run over the same distance.
The first race, five furiongs. selling. proved
an easy thing for COrrigaD's Ottyanna. as the
betting showed the talent thought ii. She was
perSistentlY and heavily backed, opening al 3
TO and closing at 10 p her owner supporting
her to no lnconsGerable extent. Georgetown
was played strongly for place by Barney
Schneider, which lie secured as easily as
DID Ottyanna first honors. Condo in getting
the show by head from Sir Reginald saved the
bOOkmakers some third money. as Douovan's
geldlng was fairly well supported for that posi-.
lion.
The second race for maidens over the Futu.

money, which went in on him, was so aug
mented by the publics that the colt became an
odds on favorite, finally going 10 The post at
eyenS. There was big UP out on Ei0odmore,
who was backed at threes, though he receded
TO seVenS owing 10 the not tO-be-denled plunge
on Comrade. Raphaels also was well played
all three ways. The fayorite never left the re-
suit III doubt alter the fall of The flag, which
was dropped 10 a start in which Salle NJ and
Raphaels had the worst of 1t. They both ran,
however, remarkably good race, driving
hnlSh. resulting 10 RapharIS securing the place
By short head.
There were only four starters in the fourth
race selling affair, also run over the Scauu
SlX-turlOng course. ia ia in his performance
last Saturday was made fayorlte and backed
down from 10 to 7 TO 10. Zoolein opened
up al to ana after first seeing threeS and
then touching twos finally went TO the pos at
his original quotation, While ZampOst ana Duke
Stevens receded from threes and fOurs respec-
lively TO sevenS. Z0Oei1 was of in front by
length and never atlerWard approached won
as be pleased by eight lengths, the others
strung Out.
For the handicap for three-yeaT-olds, also
run over the tuturlty course, GuSSie. Alexis
ana Realization opened up as equal favorltes at
threes, but there was most money behind the
last nam d. and at posItime nothing better than
tWOs was Obtaluable, while GuSsle figured at her
original price and Alexis al a point longer.
The Kitten, Who was quoted at SKIES and
eights, was backed all three ways by Barney
Scbreiber, aud, indeed every horse in the race
was backed with the solitary exception OF
Claire. Realization, allowing Morven to make
the running TO the stretch, then came away
and easily stating of The Kittens challenge
al the drawgate, had no difficulty Iii winning
by two lengths from Alexis. who came fast in

length for The place.

conditions specifying ii to be a race tor horses
that had never won race OF the value OF $780,
and his consequent withdrawal made the result
look to lie between Seville and Oakland, who
were both plunged uDon at even money, aud
