in winner with very little money played
on him. Heretofore he has shown himself
to be possessed of very bad temper, and
the stable had but slight faith in his aoll-
ity.
Captain Rees helped the talent along by
winning the second race, well backed at
to 8, but it was not such good thing as
it looked upon paper, as be only won by
head in a drive from Garcia.
Midas, failing to show among the first
three in his race. was a hard blow to bet
tors, as on his Eastern performances he
was figured to be "a "ciDcb." Happy Day
won his fourth race OF the meeting through
Bob Isom's good riding. He rode three
winners and was second on another. The
attendance was large, and the books
handled big amount of money.

The time was fast-1:13 Midas ran badly,

Every one looked forward to see a great
race when those speedy milers Oakland,
Melanie, Mary j and Rico met in the
fourth event on the card. Shortly before
the race Oakland was withdrawn. The
odds were continually varying. at the
close the general drift being ~ to l and

flag fell, Rico showing the way. The first
quarter was slow, but Melanie now
played for the lead and Rico was CON-

Happy Day last of course.

Strengthened out it was now Happy Days

was good AZ Mary j finished third.
Artist scared all out of the last race with
the exception of Wandering Nun, Qurt
and Fortuna, Arapahoe and San Lucas
scratching. 1t was seven-turlong race
for three-year-olds. and Artist was a to 4
shot, the books wanting very little money
at that price. From 10 20 TO 1 were the
prices against the others. AS on the pre-
yious day the fog commenced rolling In

Wawona ran well until entering the

Happy Day has won four races, and il
would be q dangerous experiment Tor a
poor owner to enter him in selling race
for a thousand dollars. But then. that is
turf history. There will be better ones
than he entered for that sum.
Melanie was cut down in her race, and
will not be able 90 start for some time.
NV Luck ran an excellent race and will
do TO watch.
1t seems as though Don Williams was
unfortunate in getting hold of inconsistent
performers.
Florence Dickev is a great filly, no mat

manages to land in second place.
