talent picked three winners out of four
races, and went home satisfied that every
thing was on the square. There was a
splendid contest in the 2 20 race. seven heats
being trotted, the last so late that five
patrol judges mad to be stationed out in
the fog TO see that square trOtting was
done.
A pacing race for three-year-Old opened
the days programme, Ketchum being
favorite in the pools, $40 to $40 for
Trouchet, and S12 for the field. Ketchum

There was more hedging and whlpsawing
after this than has been seen on a CALI
fornia track for many day and money
poured into the pooboX from all quarters.
there being a desire Oh all sides 10 play
ever. After Bay Rum had won the fourth
heat he was looked upon as moral"
but when Z allacy came in an easy winner
of the sixth heat she was made such
favOrite that il was almost impossible to
get pool on her under $50. The fog had
now become so dense that five patrol
judges were stationed at different points
and under these auspices the last heat was
trotted. Fallaey broke just after leaving
the wire and finished last, Bay Rum get
