Middleton, Red Bird, Zoolein, Bal
larat and Nutwood the Winners
in Yesterdays Events.

The weather. which had been lowering
and rainy all the forenoon yesterday,
broke before the time set for the first race
and bright though bitterly cold after
noon enSued.
The track had suffered considerably
from the rain that HAD fallen in the early
morning. and in consequence there we're a
number of Withdrawals out of the original
entry-list of sixty-three horses.
The attendance was not up to that of
previous days, and the fifteen gentlemen
who shouted the odds were certainly not
doing the business that has heretofore
been transacted in the ring. Taken alto
gether the day was fairly even one, both
for them and the talent; three favor ties
certainly won. but the other two races
were big dumps for the plungers, Red
Birds victory being practically skin
ner" for the bookies.
Georges Roses Middleton was installed
favorte in the first race, a five-furlOng
selling affair. at to 5. but the money did
not begin to go in on him until after he
had been warmed up. when his price quickly
shortened from 10 10 even money. at which
quotation he went 10 the post carrying plenty
Of lis owners metal. Duke Stevens was well
supported at 10 and threes 10 win. while
Hal Fisher was played heavily for place and
show. The race proved very easy thing for
Middleton, who won pretty much as he pl ased
by two lengths, Hal Fisher securing Tie place
from Duke Stevens by the same distance, but
not without a struggle.
The second race, five furlongs, selling, saw
the biggest field Of The day face the starter. or
the twelve Clara White was a very distinct
favOTIte at 10 3, though the odds would have
lesSened cOnsderably-they did touch eYens-
but f0r very strong tip which was out on Lodi,
who was backed all through al an average of
tours. One Dime. who opened up al the latter
prlc Tor some uuaccOuntable reason went back
In The betting. and was the best thing Tor place
and show. Red Bird, another sample of the
good goods kept IN the EncinO stable. was prac-
tlcally frlendess, opening uD at tens aud going
10 the post at f0rties, Little Tough also reced-
Ing from tens to thlrlies. The faYOrIIe did not
get oil and had the worse of the mud IN her
face but Ii Is doubtful If the verdict would have
been altered. Red Bird winning handIly enough.
Little Tough ran a remarkably good race.
The dump IN the last race had by no means
displrlted the talent. who, picking ZOolen In
the next event, six IurlOngs, selling. played
him. as also did his owner, for all they were
worth at TO and even money. Condo also
coming in for good support at twos. Blizzard
previous consistent running and a lot of money
was lost over his failure 10 do better than
fourth. Zoolein won with ease by three lengths
from Conde, Barney Scbrelber's victory, as also
that OF bis brother Dookmaker, George Rose,
being Immensely popular. as is natural, when IL
IL noticed mat The public always share in the
spOils of war.
A steeplechase, II so IL can be called OF a
mile with only five obstacles proved, as 4
looked Cd paper, verltable gilt for Balarat,
who was AT The wonderful ODDS of even money
and 10 3, when on former occasions he was a
paying investment at 1 TO 3. There was a
senseleSs plunge on Guadalupe, who, probably
on account OF bis being ridden by his new owner
and trainer, Blakeley, WAS supported down 10
twos. The race was cake-walk for Baliarat,
who won pulled Up by ten lengths. here was
something amisS with LoDgwel, who was never
in the hunt from the star l. finishing lengths be-
hind Guadaloupe and Hercules
Eleven horses, Including one omitted from the
programme, viz: Inferno, as well as katrinka,
whose name had not appeared Oh The over
night entry card, went 10 the post in the last
race, six fnrlongs. selling. Rube Burrows
opened up fayorite at 5 to 2. but after seeing
twOs closed finally at TO 2. There were strong
tips out about Regal and katrinka. who were
heavily backed. Inferno was let alone by his
party Til just before going 10 the post. when
they PLAYED as II they were out for a killing,
only, however, to get left once again. NutwoOd
and Nellie Van went back from seyenS aud
eights to tens, which was also the price on offer
about Floodmore at The close OF the books.
Nellie Van, Katrinka and FlOOdmore had the
race between them 10 the drawgaje, where Nut
wood joined issue with them, and driving
finish resulted IN Nutwood's victory by a hea
from Nellie Van, who secured the place by the
same distance from FloOdmote, Jones' work
on Nut~ood, IL which be fairly beat Taylor.
