RUNNING RACES.
AdoIph Spreckels' Stable
i'm Great Form.
MeIanita, CIacquer, Piquante, Imp.
Candid and Durango Were
the Winners.

Adolph SpreckeIs' racing string under
the handling of the veteran Cy Mulksy.
prince of trainers, is carrying everything
before il. Yesterday the California stakes.
the rich tWo-year-old event, fell to his fast
filly Piquante, by Flambeau-Ph9be An
derson. and that good imported Australian
mare Candid put the handicap, one mile
and a sixteenth. to his credit. The success
of men of Adolph SpreckelS' stamp and
caliber is one of the heallhiest signs Of the
racing prosperity of California.
The attendance yesterday was the larg-
est that has been seen at the Bay Distr let
track since the season opened, and shows
conclusively the hold that the sport has
upon the affections of the general public
The racing was Of a highly interesting
character, there being three close finishes,
one victory by head and another by
nose.
The showing made by Mr.. Naglee
Burke's BellicOso in the stake race was
little less than remarkable, seeing that the
colt was perfectly green and at least two
weeks short The son of Peel and I'M
ported Janet n has undoubtedly the
making of a crack-a-jack.
The handicap resulted in q clever vic
tory for Candid in Felix Carr's hands
after rafting race between her and the
favorite, Red Root, for the last quarter.
The black mare. after her recent per-
formances, started at nice odds, and sub
stantially paid her stanch supporters,
who have never waversd in their ale
glance to her since her first appearance
here.
The three selling races went respec-
lively to Malanita, Clacquer, who upset a
hot favorte in Middleton. and Durango,
who was much fancied by his stable con-
nectiOns and played accordingly.
The talent had decidedly the worst of
the days tussle with the bookmakers.
