days Purses.

There was larger crowd at Bay Dis
trict yesterday than on any preceding day
during the week, and there was decidedly
pleasing result to the Racine stakes. 1t
may be taken for granted that humanity
rejoices in the success Of poor man over
his richer fellows.
1t was poor mans horse which won
the chief event on the programme. the
Racine stakes for two-year-olus, six fur
longs, the first long race for tie youngsters
that has taken place this season. The
Spreekels string-PiQuante, Pat Murphy
and Captain Skedance-was naturally
made the favorite in the quotations, but
the phbllc's money was chiefly Invested
on Bellicoso, owing to the good showing
Naglee Burke's strapping colt made the
only time he had run here, wien he ran
Plquante TO head. and that, too, when he
was some weeks short in his work.
Fat Murphy took the big strlug OF ten
along at good clip. considering the state
Of the track, the fret quarter being made
In :24A. Model then took up the runnlns,
and leading by three lengths intO the
stretch, where they all began TO SLOW
down, finally Won easily by three leng hS
from Plquante. who had come very last
right from the rear down the straight and
obtained the place by similar distance.
PIQuante along the backstretch, where
the pace in the dead going was evidently
too much for her.
The handicap was made the medium OF
some very heavy speculation, each OF the
SIX Candidates, with the possible exception
of PescauOT, being we'll played. Inc WIN
neT turned up in Wilbur Smlh's sterling
colt Gllead, who won 10 very easy style
from HOtspuT and Herald, who were head
and head. GileaQ's victory IS another
feather In st. Savlour's cap.
Chevalier rode two winners, having the
mount Oh Gllead and also on his namesake.
the Clara l. COLI, who won the second
race.
Nelson spreadeagled his field in the first
race, which the Prlcelle people had made
up their minds was their pie and which
but Tor Nelson's true running would GER
talnly have fallen to their lot. Nelson was
run up $500, but retained by his Uwner.
W Weaver rode his first winner at the meet
ing by plotting ST. CroiX o victory In the
last race. in which Nick Hans bay horse
started at the remunerattve Odds OF 10 10 /.
