Outsiders Win.
Gordius, Ernest, DIR. Ross, Cherokee
and Remus First Past
the Post.

There was an excellent attendance at
Bay District yesterday afternoon, partly
due to the altered complexion of the pro-
gramme by reason Of tile rain, which fell
in sufficient quantities on Monday to
make the going very muddy and heavy
There are not few people who prefer
gambling on the chances of mud larks. for
somehow they are more consistent per-
formers and appear to give hackers an
easier task to pick them.
Three favorites managed TO win for the
! talent, ana neither of the others thor
oughly merited their position in th q quota
tions, the winners turning no in horses
/ whose chances had been strangely over
| looked.
There were two close and cexiting
! finishes. viz, in the third and four tn races,
| victory in each Instance being due to the
! sl0venly and i'll judged-to use no harsher
! teamwork of the rider of the second
| b. rse, which was cleverlv taken advantage
! Of Both Sullivan aud Hennessy gave de-
/ ploraOle exhibitions OF JockeyShip on
| Motto and Artist respectively, and are
| entirely responsible for the loss OF their
hackers money.
Gordius left the maiden ranks by win.
| ming the first race In the most easy style,
giving Bnrlingame, who is A big capable
! Jockey with bad streak of luck. a win
ming mount, which he has not had for a
long time.
Chevalier rode two winners and Glover
and Jones one each. Glover, if he con-
tinues to ride as he has been the last few
| occasions he has been put up on the Pleas
| anton stable candidates, will make a
very fair jockey, for he has so far shown
| all the necessary qualifications of succ ess.
