RUNNING RACES.
The Bookmakers Still to
the Front.
ONLY TWO FAVORITES WIN.
The Superstitious Racegoer Is
Rewarded.
TO-DAY'S GOOD PROGRAMME.
Gasser, De la Guerra, Fortuna, Joe
Murphy and Dolly McCone Were
Yesterdays Winners.
ONLY TWO FAvoRITEs WIN.
To-DAY's GOOD PROGRAMME.

Bright and warm weather ana an lil-
proving track, yet the fields yesterday
were the smallest SO far OF the week, but
Friday is always looked upon, more or
less, as kind Of off day.
The bookmakerS again had the better of
the talent, who managed to pick the win
nels only in Joe Murphy and Dolly Nc
Cone.
Gus Strauss is an unlucky horse if he is
any good at all, and that's a thing that has
yet to be found out. In the first race OF
half mile. for two-yeaT-olds, he put his
foot in a hole at the start and was brought
almost TO his knees. Ii he had got off well
the final result might have been different
that is to say it is not improbable that
Gasser would not have won, for the two
would have raced each other to death in
the first quarter aud an outsider might
have been let in.
The superstitiOus turtle had his little
coincidence TO keep him firm in his trust
IN such omens. Little Jones was thrown
off De la Guerra in breakaWay in the sec
Ond race. but remOunted and piloted the
son of imp. Mariner and TriXy TO easy
victory.
The big upset of the day was in tie third

ally erTaSic kind and is just as liable 10

of a hundred.

gentleman as lightweight on Joe Murphy

The programme to-day promises good
