Sir Richard Gives Them Another
Shock by Defeating Romair in
the Last Race-Arrivals.

Emulating the example of their wise
brethren in the East, 1t is getting to be the
fad among horsemen in this State who
have a horse that cannot stand training
for fiat runs. to build a fence in some sand
lot and school him for jumper.
This worked very well east of the
Rockies, but after the books laid from 50
to 100 10 against some Of these ancient
cfipples and had the pleasure of seeing
them win by several blocks it made them a
little careful.
Yesterday at the track. while Lodo vic
did not win the mile and half hurdle
race by any great distance. he went to the
post at 80 and 30 to ! and dOwned two
"redhot things" in Longwell and Bassanio.
The time. 2:46A, is the worlds record
for the distance. The former coast record
was %, made at the last Jockey Club
meeting.
81. LOdowic. is a slashing big horse by
LongfeIlOw out of Carrie Phillips, and
before breaki ing down ran some excellent
fat races. He was ridden by Jimmy
Long, who, before becom ng too heavy to
ride on the fiat, was considered a crack
jockey. Not a few of the large crowd in
attendance held tickets on him and were
very jubant when he passed the post a
winner.
a short six-furlong. sprint for non
winners in 1894 opened the days sport.
The starters were Umma, Mary Foster
FLY, Jake johnson, Empress of Norfolk
BernPrdo, Almont, Prince Regent, Miss
Garvip, The MaIard and Steadfast. The
Malard was favorite. going TO the post 2
to1; Empress of Norfolk was held al tours
q tin
@: on Steadiast he was backed down from 10
TO l to fours. Almont was a 40 TO l shot
in the betting and was entirely over
looked.
Jake johnson cut out the running at the
fall OF the flag. leading by half length in
front, followed by Empress of Norfolk
and Bernardo. On the far turn the En-
press took the lead aud was never headed
thereafter. winning by four lengths. Al
mont made good stretch run and got the
place by head from Steadfast. The Nal
lard. finished fourth. Time, 1:13. The
boy fell off Prince Regent, and he finished
riderless.
There were but four starters in the sec
ond race. short six-furlOng squirt for two
year-olds-MalO Diablo, Fllrtilla, Victory
and Flint.
Flint went to the front as the flag fell, and
although closely accompanied by Victory
and FlirtilIa to the head of the stretch, he
gradually drew away and won handily by
two lengths. Flirtilla and Malo Diablo
had a hard drive for the place, the latter
getting it by a nose. Time, l:12A.
Eleven sprinters came ont for he third
race, five-I, Tlong scramble. Joe Cotton
was picked by the talent to get first money
on the strength OF his last performance
getting away eleventh and finishing sec
ond. He was backed from to to TO ..
From to 100 10 I were the prices against
the other starters. comprising c. NJ. c..
In toll
Rose Cla k. MorVeD, Chemuck, Queen Bee
and Hal Fisher.
To a good start Hal Fisher cut out the
running, leading by a length into the
stretch, with Norlee second, Joe Cotton
entering the stretch. sixth. Straightened
for the wire it looked as though Norlee
would win, but little Isom came with a
rush on Joe Cotton, and from the draw
gate had the race won, passing the post
length in front, Norlee barely getting the
place by head from Queen Bee, with
Chemuck. who ran an excellent race
fourth. Time, ok.
A big surprise was in store for the
talent in the mile and ahalf hurdle race
which had for starters Haymarket, 1ngot,
Honeywell, Guadalupe, Eli Kudig, Bas-
saniO. LOdoHic. CymOre and Happy Band.
Longwell was the supposed good thing"
opening at 8 to 5. Going to the post ne
was 6 to and the bookes were looking
for other money. Many thought Andy
Blskeley's jumper Bassanio about due and
put their money on his chances.
Old LOdowic, who has been in schooling
at the jumping game up at Stockton, was
entirely overlooked, so to l being his price
going TO the post, and at enc time 90 10 l
was laid against his chances. That
splendid jumper Eli Kindig for some un-
known reason had u to 1 chalKed against
Lin, and he is said to be a cracker jack.
The others were all at long prices.

jump LUdowic had taken the lead and
soon opened up ten lengths. and there
after LED all the way, taking the last jump
about two lengths in front, and although
Blakeley rode desperately to Overtake him
from there to the wire be was unable to
do so, and Long landed the old horse win
ner by half a length; Longwell, on whom
Allmark had been hard at work, had his
head at Bassanio's flank. The time
2:46A-was a great run, and now stands
as the worlds record.
Happy Band took bad tumble at the
third jump, and Harris luckily escaped
with few slight bruises. Murphy rode a
poor race on Eli Kindig, and was iDdef-
niely suspended.
Not content with beating Bassanio and
and Longwell, the talent had it bbed in
to them in the last race, a six-furlong
sprint, for all ages. On Saturday Romair
won handily over the short six furlongs in
1:11R. ana OF course the talent could fig
ure that nothing but a world-beater could
down him. Well, the Sir Richard people
figured differently, and proceeded to play
their horse, getting and to j for their
money. Romair went to the post to 5.
Huntsman was Is to 3. while Condo, Com

do little whistling when 1:13k was hung

The winner entered for $500, was bid VI
