weather good-slZed crowd attended the
races yesterday and witnessed some very
fair racing, or at least finishes, for that
was about all that could be seen, the fog
making IL impossible TO discern the horses
after the start until we'll into the stretch,
the positions and how they ran the first
part being matter of conjecture.
But all of these drawbacks did not pre-
vent goodly number of the opposite sex
from attending regardless of Strengthened
bangs and dropping feathers.
Three favorites won out of the five races
and the bnOkmakers had rather hard
time keeping on the credit side OF the
slate. being hit pretty hard by the victories
of Mollie r. Artist and Cbartreuse, Mr..
MacdonOugh, always spoken OF now as the
owner of Ormonde, winning very snug
sum from tile books by the lattsr's vic
tory. a speedy daughter of Cheyot out
OF imported cara.
OF the hurdle race, always popular with
the crowds, very little could be seen. and
it was source of much disappointment.
In the last race of the day Artist, son
of the Australian sire Darebin, broke the
coast record for seven iurlOugs, held
jointly by Motto and Broadhead. running
the distance in ! :27, carrying 103 lbs.
The price of the Paris mutual tickets
has been reduced to 81, and they got con-
siderable play yesterday at that price, not
every one caring to risk So on the chances
of horse running third.
For the opening event. a short six-fur-
long race, selling, for three-year-olds and
upward, seven ordinary platers went 10
the post Trix was most fancied, and the
bulk OF the money went IN on Durkee's
geldiug.
A. Isom rushed Rose Clark out In front
as the flag fell. and the fog made the posi-
lions of the horse uDdisceruibe until en-
terinR the stretch, when 1t was seen that
he was still leading by two lengths, the
field fairly we'll punched back Of her,

ing badly o the finish, and he managed To
win by three-parts of a length, Trix Sec
! ond, Clacquer third. Time. 1:13A. A
strong tip was out on Nellie o, but she
could not get near the leader.
Oaly four horses appeared for the
second race on the card, Eckert and Pat
| Murphy being scratched, a five and a half
furlong dash for twO-year-olds. Mollie r
was favorite at even money, Venus at tn
3, If, the brother to Tigress, 20 to /, and
Churea we'll backed for the place at even
| money. The START was good one, but
thereafter it was impossible to distinguish
/ the horses until entering The stretch, when
Mollie was seen to be half length in
! front of Churea, and although the latter
crowded the bone doctors mare pretty
hard at the finish, she won by nearly a
length, Venus third, three lengths away.

good, :08A.
The third race short six-furlong selling
sprint, brought out Chartreuse. Muste.a,
Annie Moore, Monrovia and LonDie B.
/ Charlreuse opened al SKIES, but Owner
| MacdonOugh sprinkled con siderable money
around the ring on his good-looking fiily
and her price receded to four. Annie
Moore was at twos. Monr0yia, good
Splinter in the East, opened at to 3, but
went back until TO l could be had She
was heavily played, being the real favor
tie in the race. Mustesa. at fves, and
| Lonnie u. 10 to !, were slightly PLAYED.
The fog was now so thick that the horses
could not be seen at the post. and a buele
announced the falling of the flag Not
! until an eighth from the wire could the
! horses be distinguished, and at that point
! Chartreuse was leading Musfesa by half a
length and in drive Isom landed the
Marlborough filly winner by half length,
Annie Moore third. two lengths back. 1t
was very fair run, :I3. Monrovia ran
| poorly, finishing next to last.
The jumpers next had an inning at a
mile and quarter over five hurdles.
! Andy Blakeey's horse General Miles. as
in Saturdays steeplechase, was again
made favOrite, going 10 the post with z to 5
chalked against him. Happy Band was
well backed at to /. Nick Hall and a
few wise one IS put their coin on Floodmore
at the very remunerative odds of to l.
Japonica, Guadalupe. Morven and Dick
O'Mailey were slightly played. Very lii
lie of the race could be seen, with the ex-
| cepti0n OF passing the stand and over the
first hurdle, when Dick 0'Malley was lead
ing; The horses were then lost in the fog.
| Down the stretch and over the last hurdle
Floodmore was first, with Guadalupe and
General Miles at his heels, and the Hall
horse. full of run, passed the wire first by
three lengths, Guadalupe, well ridden by
| Stanford, beating Miles half length for
| the place. Happy Band was fourth. Ja-
ponica finished last pulled up. The time
was only fair-2:22
Moneta and Fortuna were scratched in
the last race, seven furlongs, for three
year olds, leaving Carmel, Thelma, Gilead.
Realization, POlaski, Artist Charles A
and Quirt to face the starter. The books
laid very good price against Artist, con-
sidering the last race-21a to 1 being OBJ
tainable going 10 the post. Charles A was
well played. opening at 5 and backed
down to 3 to l, but rumor had it that be

laSki was slightly played at to- 1. The
fog had now lifted, giving spectators a
chance to see the horses run. At the fall
of the flag Artist was quickest away. set
the pace. and it was a very warm ona,
leading down the backsIretch a length,
which advantage he held passing the halt,
Q0irt in second position, length ahead

leading by half a length, the field well

lsski came very fast from the bunch and
Artist had TO be shaken uD. finally passing
the judges first by two lengths, Polaski sec
