SECOND DAYS RACES.

The Talent Given a Setback in the
Citrus Handicap.
The crowd at the second days races
was in excess OF that of the prsced-
ing day. Many OF the great throng
were upon the grounds all day.
The races OF yesterday were certainly
replete with interest and excitement,
and the crowds that filled the handsome
new grand stand were unanimous in the
opinion that il the programmes OF each
day held out as that OF yesterday the
attraction, from a racing standpoint,
will De an overwhelming success.
The contests w6re epirted throughout,
and, while both days have been FORE
runner of greater euccess, the public
could not ask nor did it anticipate better
races than thoae already given.
THE FIRST RACE.
The feature of the opening 90 yester-
day afternoon was the clever trotting OF
Ford's black filly Galette. This event
was the unfinished trot, two heats Of
which had been finished the opening
day. The only other starter was Geo.
Ford's bay colt Neernut. Galette took
the lead st the start and trotted easily
in the lead around the entire course,
winning in 2:2534.
RUNNING-Two YEAR-oLDs.
Some racegoers, like every body else,
have their lads, and many OF them
would not 60 block to see running
race. This sort of sportsman was
among those who declared that the
maiden plate for 2-year-olds was one of
the best running races ever seen on the
track OF its class. The distance was
five furlonge, and the starters were Lot
tie Collins, Rob Roy, Red Head and
Juan Bernard. The pool selling opened
up with Lotte Collins as the favorte
for $40 to $5 on the field. The flyers
got away evenly at the flag drop,
and on the turn Rob Roy and
Red Head had hard struggle
for the lead. Lottie Collina fell behind
on the quarter, allowing the two out
siderH to run two lengths ahead on the
back stretch and to the upper turn, with
Bernard in the rear by several lengtha.
The hackers of the favorite were Decom-
ing disheartened at seeing the little tilly
turn into the stretch an open length be-
hind the hard worked Roy, but their
sorrow was turned to Joy in less time
than it takes to tell it, for with won-
derful move she worked an opening and
went through the bunch eaeily, passing
under the wire length ahead OF the
swiit-coming Rob Roy, who had hard
struggle with Red Head for the second
place. Juan Bernard was away behind.
Time, :04.
THE CITRUS HANDICAP.
When Starter Benjamin went to the
rost to start the swift runners in the
Citrus mile handicap. swespstake for all
ages, there were doubts expressed as to
his getting the horses away in good
time. This was due to the pesky Pes
cador, the San Bernardino horse that
always delays o start. Pescador aold ss
favorite for $40 and the field OF Nacho
B, Centinella and Santa Fe for SIS.
Here's where the talent got heavy
blow. To struggling start Pescador
was the last to get away, and even
before he had On opportunity to do so,
Judge Newton fined his rider $40 fer
delaying the start. The horaes scored
only once for q start, and the favorits
went away length behind, Nacho B.
running on the pole, followed Csntinella
into the turn. When the quarter was
reached PoEcador passed Forst6r'S geld
ing, and pushed Centinells hard for the
lead. Santa Fe was in the rear the en-.
tire distance. Centinella proved great
surprise and led the high favorite into
the stretch and under the wire in 1.:41 p.
Nacho B. had to rest content with third
place. This event showed conolusively
how we'll running raees take with the
public, oven though the trotting race
men do not admire them. The mutuels
paid $41.95 on the race.
PACING-2:19 CLASS.
In this event Laura M. opened up as
the favorite. $40 against $5 on the field.
and very good field it was. At the
word 90, after brief delay In scoring,
Geo. Hines Rory O'More led at
the quarter in 0:3Ss4, pushed
closely by Golden West, with the
other three stringing out like funeral
proc eeion. On the back stretch Golden
West crept up and headed the ewift-
NOV ng Rory. The iavorita forged ahead
OH the upper turn aud led out down the
stretch at killing pace. Laura got the
neat, Rory second. Golden West third,
Birdroe fourth and the jumblinu Ben
Butler was distanced. Time, 2:164,
The betting changed hut little on the
second heat. Rory O'Mors followed
