ARIA WINS THE FIRST EVENT
WALDO J CAPTURES THE PACE.


this, the opening DAY of the race meeting,
was delghtful A cnol nOrtherly breeze
was blowing, ard the large crowd of people
which passed through the gales must have
assured the directors OF the success of the
meeting. Every boxstall on the grounds
has an occupant, while the stock exhibit
surpaSses any heretofore hell. The band
OF music is also superior to any other
heard here. 1t IS Casassa's famous band of
solOists, and from early morn until the
races commenced, and between the heats,
the pullic fingered where they could hear
tie familiar airs exquisltely layed.
Promptly att o'clock Judges Green, Han
cock and Matthews took their places and
Timers Agnews, De Long and Brown held
Their stor-watches waiting for the hrst race
to be called. The weeks sport opened
with The Occdent stake for foals of 1891,
and proved a very one-Sided affair. There
were only two star er. of the original thirty
four enries, the Palo Alto bred flly Aria
and the Silver Bow colt Silver Noie. No
pools wer5 sold today, the former being
such a hot favorte. In the first heat Aria
Id from wire to wire, winning the heat by
fifteen lengths in 2:27H. The second heat
was repetition of the first, the Pal0 Alto
fly winning, almost pulled to a walk, in
2:29. Aria won the third heat and race in
2:31K.
Maben was evidently saving the FLY for
her race on next Thursday, when she will
strike faster company. The second race
on The programme, the 2:15 pace, brought
out seven good side-wheelers, Waldo j,
Lady H, Eric, Ydette, Tom Ryder, Pomona
and Fred Mason. The talent switched to-

First heat-TOm Ryder had the pole and
led to the three-quarter mark, when Lady
Il drew up, closely followed by Waldo j,
the three entering the homestretch
abreast An eighth from the wire Ryder
was beaten, and Waldo j and Lady II
fought out the heat, the gray geIdiDg win
ming by a length.
Second heat-Waldo j now sold favor
ite against the field, and be justified the
confidence of his hackers by taking the
lead at the tap of the drum and holding it
the entire distahce, followed by Lady II
and Tom Ryder. and The field strung out

closely pressed by Tom Ryder and Lady
II, but at the half pole Mack let out a
link, and the gray horse opened up a gap
of ten lengths, and to the wire it was
simply a procession, Waldo winning the
heat and race.
The third race on the card, the 2 % trot.
came very near giving peculators a shock.
1t had for starters: Rex, Gazele, Vina
Belle, Mamie Griffin and Luster. Vina
Belle sold hot favorite at SIS against $25
for the field. First heat-Gazelle and
Vina Belle at once went out in the lead,
trotting on equal terms to the half, when
Vina Belle left her feet and Gazelle
opened up gap which was too much for
the Palo Alto mare to close up, Durfee's
mare winning the heat in 2:16h and the
field fighting for third place.
Second heat-That the confidence of her
hackers was not shaken was shown by the
fact that Vlna Belle still sold a to l
favOrite over the field. Away to a good
start, Vina Belle took the lead, Gazelle
and the field we'll punched. At the half
pole GaZelle set sail fer the leader, and
they were soon on equal terms. At this
critical point buyers of the field we're
made happy by the favorite going off her
feet, losing several lengths, and once more
the Southern FLY took a heat.
Third heat-Hedging was now In order.
and Gazelle sold for $50 against $25 for the
field, including Vina Belle. The Palo
Alto mare had now got steadied down
to business, and taking the lead at the
word led the entire mile, the Southern
flly evidently getting leg weary, and only
beating Rex length.
Fourth hea mo pools were sold on this
heat. the three horses finishing In the same
order al the previous heat.
Fifth heat-Only two horses came ont
for this, the deciding heat (Vina Belle and
Gazelle), the balance going to the stable.
1t was taken easily by Vina Belle.
The last race of the day for roadsters
was won in straight heats by Pansy.
