The attendance at the Bay District track
is increasing daily as the racing grows
lore interes ting by the appearance of
fresh candidates for honors. Yesterday
there was as large crowd present as if it
had been holiday, and the volume of
betting must have been far above the
average.
The talent and Dookmakers probably
broke about even. Three favorites GER
talnly won, but the dumps that occurred
in the two other races. as well as the
amount of money invested on second
favorltes, should have balanced accounts
pretty fairly for the penciIing fraternity.
The race of the day about which the
most interest centered was of course the
mile handicap, the third event on the card,
in which out of the field Of five horses
three may be said TO have almost figured
as even favorites, it being a case of to
and take your choice about Glee Boy,
Nomad and the Australian representative
StrOmboli. whose good win on Wednesday
had gained friends and supporters by
wholes ale.
He certainly had the call at the close of
the betting, nothing better than to be-
ing Obtainable. while twos were fOrthcom-

The trainers and all the best judges at the
track were almost TO man for Stromboli,

crowd that so greatly increased the amount

ton of actual first favOrte at the close.
That the rUmor OF the wonderful work
done by this great son Of Chester in pri-

proved by the impressive manner in which
