But Two Favorites at Short Prices

Anything but Good humor.

tiOn yesterday by plcKlng up 10 pounus
and easily defeating bis field in iye-fur-
long sprint, run in :01.
After Rey AlfonsO's splendid mile run
any number of people were willing
TO stake their pile be could defeat Lis
SAX, but after yesterdays performance
great change of opinion was noticeab BILE,
and it is dollars to cents when the two do
meet the Kentucky colt will go to the post
the fayorite. Yesterday was rather a
Kentucky-stable day, as it scored two
winning brackets and ran second In
another race.
Major Mclaughlin, from that stable,
showed himself to be worthy stable
companion of the crack Lissak, for, pack
ing eighty-twO pounds, he beat an alleged
field, over a distance of one mile, in :40A,
the best tine ever made by two-year-oid
in race at the distance.
Only two favorites won, and the talent
did not have very good day.
Felix Carr spoiled a good thing in the
first race. six-furlong sprint for maidens,
by beat ing the heavily played favorite
Wag wit the Goula colt. to 1 shot.
Wag opened up9 to s. but was backed
down to to and off the boards The
OLU6I SldIL cIS hcl6 lIlLblC Dun IL vi COil,
Shirley, CoQuette and Beatrice. When the
flag fell LinYille went out in front, leading
past the half, when he was passed by
Mura colt and Wag. Entering the street oh
the tavorits took the lead and looked like
n certain winner until near the sixteenth
pole, where Carr brought the GOula colt
out of the bunch with rush, and although
Covington rode the favorite hard he was
beaten out halt length in 151a Shirley
finished third and Beatrice, stable tip,
last.
Another good thing was cut loose In the
second race, a selling one over the short
six-furlOng course. The starters were:
Bernardo, Navy Blue. Huntsman. Pasha.
Dockstadter, Mustesa, Sir Richard, EX-
pertinent colt, Empress of Norfo k, Queen
Bee ana Johnny Payne. The scratches
were: Solitaire. Chemuck, George L,
O'Bee and Sir Reginald.
Sir Richard was an TO favorite, but
the betting fraternity seemed a little wary
about placing their money on him on ac-
count of his poor run Saturday, when nine
out of ten thought he should have won
Huntsmen and Doekstadier were both
well backed, but Pasha, a u to l shot,
was considerably out Of ii. The book
makers were very liberal with their odds
about the others. When they were sent
away Mustesa and Sir Richard got off in
front of the bunch and made all the run
ming to the head of the stretch. where the
field closed up on them and a hard race
TOOK place to the wire.
At the drawgate Dockstadter and En-
press of Norfolk seemed to have the race
between them, when, forty yards from the
wire, Pasha slipped in between them and
won an excellent race by head. The
Empress got the place by the same dis
lance from Docksiadter, the favorie fin-
ishing fourth. in the fast time of 1:12N.
Major Mclaughlin, fne-looklng bay
colt from the Kentucky stable, carrying 50
pounds, was made favorite for the one
mile, selling, opening up at TO g. played
down to 9 10 10, and fully justified the
confidence placed in him. The other
starters were imp. CrightoD, Metal. Oak
land, Flirtilla aud Captain Rees, Happy
Day being scratched.
Oakland, ridden by Weber, was a WELL
backed second choice, going to the post 16

Imp. Creighton showed in front as the
flag fell, but on the turn CAPTAIN Rees
went to the front and made all The run

Isom shot the favorite to the front but
was compelled t. ride him out bard TO win
the race by length in the very fast time

great runs through the stretch, finishing

Lissa&. with his 123 pounds, was to
meet Gree, Playful, Pat Murphy, Sea
Spray and the ST. Cecilia FLY In the fourth
race. and when Colonel Chinn heard there
was to 10 against his pet colt merry
twinkle came into his flashing black eyes,
as though some one was trying to perpe-
trate a huge joke on him, but it was so,
nevertheless.
Pat Murphy and Playful were at and 5
TO l respectively, and anti-favorite players
tried hard to figure out how Lissak's forty-
one pounds of lead would beat him. The
balance of the field were long shots in the
betting.
After some delay at the post. Starter
Ferguson dropped the flag. all of the
horses well in motion. After indulging
Gree with the lead into the stretch, Isom
gave the black colt his head and he SIM

the st. Cecilia FLY third. Time, :01.
The days racing ended with mile sell

S, Draw Scot, Mowitza, Gold Dust Sea-
side and Miss Buckley.
Rico. the to 3 fav0rite, is very pecu-
liar horse. One day with Weber up he
will not show speed enough TO beat a car
horse; two days later with an inferior boy
up he will finish like a racehorse. Well,
