NELLIE w DEFEATED GOOD ONES


Inc week, and The races were fully as good.
a feature of the events which was very
startling to those accustomed to put much
money on races was that a majority of the
IaVorltes came out second best.
Last night Leonor in the trotiing race
Tor the 1924 class was favorite and con-
siderable money was placed behind her.
. To-day she was freely backed I'm Ill after
the first heat had been trottea. In this she
got fifth place, and the swift players put
Free Coinage up against her on even
terms, pools on each selling at $50 to $l2
Oh the field.
When Chico had won the second and
third heats the betting changed so that
pools on him brought S25 as against SO
on a field in which both favorites num-
bered.
Long-enders were given another hard
blow in the FuturitY stake championship
race. Glubar began selling at $50 to $40 on
Derby and SIS on Turner. One heat in this
race showed the superiority of Derby
Princess over either Glubar or Turner, for
she headed the mile all around without
hardly an effort. After the first heat
Derby Princess was backed as favnrite at
$50 against SO on the field of both other
horses. AS the race was the best TWO in
three the Princess settled il in two heats,
al 10 time being crowded by the others.
Bessie Thorn was the initial favorite in
the 40 class trotting. but was not backed
heavily, sports having been given lesson
in the other two races that it was not best
to depend on favorites, though the owners
might bid heavily on them.
Julia G. having taken two heats hands
down, became the favoriLe at $40, against
$40 on the field. The third heat was lost
by her to Dan Brown, because of breaking
three times in the last half. but in the
fourth heat she took the race and relieved
her trembling hackers.
Nellie w, in line of six noted trotters.
was the queen for the trotting 227 class.
purse of $500. She was favorite at $50 to
$11 on the field and determined the race in
four heats. Tha second heat was taken
by Auntie Wilkes, because OF Nellie WIS
losing her feet and breaking on the last
turn.
W. w. Foote, the two-year-old PAGER
from the lakewood stock farm, was driven
by NJ. Sanders against his own record of
2:l61A and lowered il to PISA.
The special race between a A A of the
Palo Alto stock farm and Eta Wilkes of
the San Mateo stock farm was unexciting,
as in each heat the horses held the same
positions as when they came in, and there
were no close finishes.
Unfortunately for the many who have
anticipated much pleasure IN witnessing
the free-fOr-al irot, in which Klamath,
Ottinger and Aster were to appear, the
race was declared off tonight 1t was
postponed this afternoon on account of
darkness, and tonight Aster was with
drawn. Then Klamath was pulled down,
and the directors decided to abandon the
race. Several thousand dollars in pools
had been sold on the race, aA.of which
have to be returned.
Tomorrow Otto Zegler, the little but
great amateur bicycle rider, VIII 90 mile
against w. Wood. the PAGER. whom he
beat in the half mile on Wednesday. The
general opinion is that ZegleF will be the
victor, but that it will be hard race, and
both contestants may break their own
records. At any rate, it will be one of The
greatest exhibitions ever seen in the State.
