RUNNING RACES.
The Bookmakers Have
Far the Best of 1t.
Inferno, Captain Skedance, Zobair.
Connaught and Condo Were Yes.
terday's Winners.

There was but a slim attendance at the races
yesterday, and the betting was somewhat light
compared with the speculation OF the previous
days. The bookmakers had the best OF the
play. Riley Grammar was an exceptionally
heavy winner in the second and third race, only
taking in money on the favorite who IN each
event was beaten. The Lone stables FLY
Gree, for whom Bill hurry is reported 10 have
been offered $4,000, was very hot favoIite for
the half-mile race tor maiden twO-year- olds on
her marvellous trials over quarter and three
eighths but she ran herself to death at that
distance after having opened up big gap and
was beaten by A. b. Spreckels' good colt Cap
tain Skedance which was bred at PalO Alto.
Connaugbt fairly romped away with the third
race, a scant six furlongs for amaldens. and
must have landed a snug sum for Johnny
Humphreys, who went down the line on him,
while Barney Schneider was loser TO the
extent OF a couple of thousand dollars on Y ar
ranaDbee.
The mile handicap ended in an unsatisfactory
manner Royal Flush being disqualified for The

Tie last race, a full six furlongs, brought out
only small field OF five, about whose chances

After the racing George Howson, trainer of
Royal Flush was ruled off the track by the
board of control. who SAY they believe his sur
clDgle was purpoSely ZOOS ely arranged TO permit
OF dropping of weight A lead pad of thirty
pounds was dropped at the five-furlong pole.
Last week The same horse was disqualified Tor
the same reason. Jockey Todd Sloan rode him
on that occasion and declared he was ignorant
OF any attempt to drop weights. Jockey Isom
rode him yesterday. When questioned as 10
who arrange the horses trappings Isom said it
was done by stable-hands and Royal Flush
was disqualified for short weight. Trainer
Howson bore good reputation among horse
men, and his disbarment came as a surprise to
those on the track.
