STILL THEY LOSE.
The Talent Did Not Pick
a Winner.
Splendid Programme to Be Offered
To-Day at the Bay District
Track.

1t may not be the easiest thing IN the WOTlu
TO pick the winners Of The trOIting or pacing
races now being held at the Bay District track,
but there Is no trouble in selecting sure loser
IN each race. All one has TO do is TO ascertain
what horse is favorite and the trick is done.
The favoriIes cannot win, that is they have not
been able TO so far except in a very lew H.
stances. There were three races yesterday and
thrice was the talent wrong in its selections.
1t started in by making Silver Bee fayorite Tor
the first race Sixty dollars was freely PAID
for his chances of winning the race, while
Visalla brought S52. Rainbow S29 ana the
field, consisting OF GaZelle, Nellie w, mari
pOsa, Baby Ruth, TODsy and John Bury, brought
S37. This race was Tor threr-year,olds that
had not beaten 2:27. 1t was big field OF colts
ana not the easiest sort OF race TO start. out
the scoring was very tedious and the starting
not good. In the first heat Gazele got little
the best Of 10 and was leading al the nrst quar-
ter. She maintained her position all the way
round and won from Mariposa by length IN
2:24, Rainbow third and the favorlie sixth.
The second heat WAS won by JoDn Bury, his
driver getting him well 10 the front while all
the others were engaged in a series OF Dau
breaks. Nisalia. the little mare that had
shown her ability TO trot fourth or mile In
2:20A few days previous, was unaole 10
make the showing that was expected OF her,
and Silver Bee, while showing considerable
speed, was unsteady. The track was heavy
and had been too freely watered, making the
going anything but favorable Tor good time.
GaZelle Won the next two heats and the race,
thing but popular. Durfee the driver OF Ca
Zelle. came down the stretch in this heat waV-
ing his whip In such manner that'Smith, The
driver of Silver Bee, cl2lmsd ne c0ulc not ln-
duee his horse TO go o the front for that reason.
The crowd thought Smiths claim of foul a just
one, and loudly missed the decision In favor Of
GaZelle.
The second race was hard fought one. 1t
was for four-year-0d PAGERS and had five
starters. DlrectrlX, a wee biz or thing with
great deal of speed, was considered 10 have
much the best of II by those who kuOW-or
rather think they dO-and $50 was freely given
for her against $50 for Cibolo and S11 for the
field. DirectriX went out and Won the first
heat in a drive from Della s, ana repeated the
trick 10 the next. There was another hot fight
in the third heat, the game little black losing
by neck TO Cibolo. The latter was now made
fav0Tte at three 10 one, as it was seen that
DirectriX was all out at the finish and very
tired. Cibolo behaved himself in the fourth
heat and won from Della 5. who bad been a
contestant all the time. The nth heat was
picked up by Della after the others had all in
dulged in disastrous breaks.
Seymour Wilkes and Madcap were sent 10
the stable after this heat ana DirectriX, Cibolo
and Della remained 10 fight IL out. The last
named finished IN front, ClbolO breaking in the
stretch aud Direetrix pulling up so lame that
Dusten was permitted To withdraw her. Shs
had wrencbed an ankle badly. The concluding
heat was won by Cibolo in slow time.
The trotting race for f0ur-year-olds of the
2:25 class was won by Hillsdale Ia straight
heats. Before The first heat of this race Hills
dale sold for So to SIT for Margaret Worth
and S26 for the field. In the last heat Of this
race Montana ran around the far turn under
the whip, and finally finished second, but was
set back TO third position by the judges.
Such decision was clearly against the rules,
which say that whether such breaking horse
come out ahead or nos, all other horses shall
be placed ahead of him In that heai, and the
judges shall have discretionary power 10 0ls-
lance the offending horse"
