BAD WEEK FOR THE TALENT.

There was week Of very good
sport at The City Race Track the past
week. The entries were not large any
of the days, but the mud horses were
in their element. Owing TO the ill.,
clemency Of the weather the aitend-
ahee was light, but several noted spec
tators we're present to witness the
MeDonald-Lindley Handicap tor the
beaten horses of previous meetings.
Among those present were Dowager
Queen Carrie of The Leyee, Duke Of
Seoifs Exchange, Superintendent Neal
OF The Streets, aud Lord Morris of
Cotton Lodge.
The weeks racing proved disastrous
to the talent as The Mayor aud Annie
Simpson were the only Two favorites
that won. The city bookmakers added
several hundred dollars to their win
nings.
On Tuesday the Judge fined Hat Oh
Marshal, Major on Reporter, and Qui-
nine on DR.. Bruce for not getting
their horses to The post when the gong
sounded for the Patterson-Smith bur-
die race. The fine was wards re-
mitted.

| SAM LEE,
Starter Quinn dropped his flag to a
good field In the Chinese-Atrieo mile
hanaicap Oh Monday. The Mayor
and Sam Lee were the favorites, at
even money, althought Ella Little 10
TO | shot, on her previous winnings,
and good showing In the paddock,
carried considerable of the talents
money. They got of all in bunch.
Sam Lee was In the lead at the quar-
ter by length, Yum Lung secoud by
a nose, with Ella Little gaining on
him at ever jump. Matt Perkins, Belle
Howard and Wombo were close up,
with The Mayor last. City Attorney,
a 9 to B shot, was seen to be gaining
rapidly on the field. At the quarter
Sam Lee was leading by head, with
City Attorney second, two lengths
ahead of Belle Howard, who led Matt
Perkins by nose. The Mayor was
two lengths OIL, we'll iu hand. The
same at the half. At the three-quar-
ters, the sulker, Ella Little, was seen
to be no louger In it, as she had fallen
back to fourth place. City Attorney
was leading by length from Sam
Lee with Belle Howard third aud The
Mayor two lengths OIL, coming fast. In
the stretch Sam Leo quit, and it was
plainly seen the finish would be be-
tween City Attorney, Belle Howard
aud The Mayor. And pretty finish
1t was. City Attorney was ridden
under the whip, but it was shown his
speed could not be increased. Belle
Howard passed him and then The
Mayor. In u second It was neck aud
neck. Three more jumps would tell
the tsle. 1t looked like a dead heat,
but with noble effort The Mayor
was lifted across the wire, winning by
a nose. City Attorney was good

ard. The purse amounted to $25 aud
gate receipts. Ella Little suffered
severe spran, and was sent to the
farm for three months to recuperate
