and lending an increased interest TO the
capital racing that is daily being witnessed
at the Bay District track. The last race
on Tuesday, which Border Lassle won
easily from HuntSman, 1riX and Fly, sec
oDd, third ana fourth and strung out, gave
rise the same night to some talk with re-
gard to the respective merits OF the fiji st
and fourth between Nick Hall, the owner
of Fly, and Cy Mulkey, Mr.. Spreckels'
trainer, with the result that match race
at the same distance and weights, for $500
a side, was at once made. That was the
piece de resistance of yesterdays pro-
gramme, which proved too the only event
in which the talent showed their judgment
III picking the winner The pair ran like
a team till they struck the head of the
stretch, where Border Lassie was let out,
and coming on won in gall0p by three
lengths. There was some spirited betting
over the race. Border LaSsie starting at
to 10, and carrying plenty of metal Nick
Hall, besides the S500involVeG in the match,
had $1,000 on his gelding, but he must have
got most Of it back in the last race Of the
day, In which Prince Idle, showing such
reversal of form on his last two runs that
little quiet investigation into the N tier
would not be Out OF order, starting at . 20
IL just managed TO peat 1eTcul6S nedu
after the two had the race between them
the entire journey. The two last 0ccas ions
on which Prince Idle has been seen out he
showed himself much inferior 10 Wyana-
shott Green Hook and Zampost, and yet
yesterday they were not in il with him.
The talent had disastrous day. the only
favorie winning for them being in the
match race. The biggest upset was the
victory of Happy Band, starting at 10 TO
IH the third race. and many were the con-
gratulations that old Billy jonathan re-
ceived on this his second victory since the
meeting opened last October.
Simeon G. Reeds speedy FLY, who was
somehow overlooked by the majority OF
hackers in the handicap run over the
Futurlty cOuIse, seems returning TO her
best form. She won IN handsome style
and easily witnal, beating Melaine and
Romair by three lengths. in / :121a, which
equals the track record.
Macbeth ii, after Jennie Deane and
Inferno had raced each other to death in
the first half-mile. had the easiest kind Of
task 10 win the second race and land for a
lew shrewd players a big stake.
Irwin had three mounts yesterday and
rode two wInners and second.
