The Breeders Association is furnishing
excellent sport at their meeting at Bay
| District track. The programme yesterday
| was the best of the meeting. The time was
| the fastest, there were fewer delays and
| the crowd were enabled to sec the last race
and leave the track by $50 P. NJ.
| Besides. the auction and mutual pools
| three boOkmakers did a thriving business
and the betting ring assumed something of
| It's appearance when the runners are on
the track.
The first race was for four-year-olds that
had not beaten 2:27. There were ten start
ers. the Button mare, Margaret Worth,
| selling as fayorite in the first pools on the
strength of her mile in 2:1S13 at Chico last
week. Her hackers we're wiling to pay
| $50 for her against SO for the Sidney stall
| lion, Montana. 81 for II. Nj. Stanley and
| IS for the field, consisting of Myrtle
| Thorne. Guard, Lady o, Daisy D. Bay
Rum. Major Brown and Hazel Ayers.

and Montana tagging behind. they we're

tana finishing in third position. where he
| had come from seventh place at the far
turn. Margaret Worth, the favorite. was
fourth and the others strung out. Daisy ID

After this heat Montana was made the
| fayorite, as it was thought his driver had
| laid up the heat, and his tr0tting OF the
middle half in :09 made the talent sure he
would be a winner. The second heat
was almost repetition OF the first, Myrtle
| Thorne hanging onto the gray's wheel
! and allowing him 10 waste 10 time. The
! heat was trotted in 2:20A. Myrtle Thorne
| a good second and Margaret Worth secur-
! ing third position, with Montana fourth.
/ Stanley was now made the favorite. but
! the hackers of Montana still clung 10 him
| and he brought 81 against $50 for Stanley
| and So for the field. Another excellent
! start was given 10 the third heat, and
| Myrtle Thorne again began to make II
| hot for the leader. On entering the stretch,
| Williams began to drive Montana, and the
| son of Sidney responded with a burst OF
| speed that made the eyes Of the Stanley
| people open in wonder. aIhe gray had

aney sat down TO drive. 1t was hot

from Montana, Myrtle ThorDe good

PIG, being the fastest Of the race.
There were but three starters in the 2:17
| trot, but they were good ones. and the
race was the best of the meeting. Shy
| lock. Lucy B and Adelaide McGregor
scored up for the word and were sent
away to perfect start. McGregor imme-
diatelv went to the 'front.' but was soon
| caught by Shylock and they went to the
tnree-quarter pole like double team,
! Lucy B couple Of lengths behind. En-
| tering the stretch the Los Angeles mare
began to draw away and won easily in
2:19.
The second heat was almost repetition
of the first until the stretch was reached,
when Shylock made a bad break and Lucy
B finished in front of him, length be-
hind McGregor.
The orange money now went in on Nc
| GreKor so fast that she was made favor
ite, selling for $50 against SO for the
others as field. Another perfect start
was given them in the third heat. Nc
| GregOr was half length in front of Lucy
| at the first turn, when a dog ran out in
| front of her and she made a wild jump in
! front of the Button mare. Bigelow saw
| the canine just in time, cleverly pulled
| Lucy B back and managed 10 avoid col
| lision. Dustin was on the outside, and
! took advantage of the situation. and went
to the front, with Shylock, who was never
| headed during the mile, though Adelaide
| McGregor, who had never made bobbe
| after that one jump. pressed him hard.
| The mile was made in 2:1512
AS it was noticed that McGreger showed
! signs of distress, Shylock now became the
favorite at $40 to $40 for the others. He
| justified the confidence placed in him by
! winning the next two heats, Lucy being
! second each time.
The third race was for 2:27 three-year-
old PAGERS, and was captured by Darfee's
Ketchum in three straight heats, TOuchet,
