WEE JONES RIDES TWO WINNERS

Not a hitch occurred yesterday in the
proceedings at the Bay District track to
mar the successful conduct of the after
moons racing, which was entirely in the
hands Of the representatives of the press.
Everything passed off just as smoothly
as if the regular officials had been acting in
their usual places.
The judges were not called upon TO de-
eide any close finishes, nor did anything
occur during the progress of a race in the
nature of a foul or interference to call
forth any exhibition of severity on the
part of the board of stewards.
Starter Benjamin was very successful in
his work with the red flag, only one start
failing to be entitled good. He had the
assistance of Henry Pepper as whipper-
in. there being no reporter who had suf-
ficient con fdence in himself to tackle that
dangerous work.
1t was pity that only four horses went
to the post in the handicap, which would
Tot unlikely have furnished close contest
aud given evidence of the handicapping
skill of one of the members of the fourth
estate. As 1t was 1t was very pretty race
between the four starters, Royal tlush's
victory being due in great measure to the
superiority of his rider.
Little Eddie Jones was on two winners
and rode in good form. but Chevalier per-
formed disappointingiy. especially on
Motto and Tigress, in neither of which
races did he display the best of Judgment.
