RED LIGHT DISAPPOINTING.
Duke Stevens, Gussie, Raphaeis
Carmel and Royal Flush Win
Yesterdays Events.

There was better than fair crowd at
the Bay District track yesterday after
noon, and the fund for the unemployed
ought to benefit 10 the extent of $780,,
with the salaries of the employees added.
as it is understood they were TO be, 10 the
gate receipts.
The weather was clear, bright and dry
ing, and the track should be in an i'm
proved condition to-day.
The talent again experienced a disas-
trous day, four fayoriteS being bowled
over in succession. their only winner be-
ing Royal Flush in the last race, and he
was only half a first favorite, dividing that
honor with Sir Reginald.
Red Light was made favorite in the
i've furlongs. selling, at even money and
q to 8, very false odds when his last per-
Torrance is remembered, in which, carry
ing considerably more weight than he did
yesterday, be beat IhOrnhll and M orven with
elghly-SlX pounds up in The same KIND of going.
That alone should have made him TO 2
shot. Duke 81 evens, Annie Moore aud Charger
were We'll backed at SKIES Joe Ellis being The
extreme outsider, al 40 10 l. The last named
made the running with Aunte Moore as his
closest attendant, 10 within a furlong home,
where Duke Stevens, who bad run from the
rear into third position at that point, made
his effort and in drive beat MestOr. who had
come through with him, out length Joe Ellis
only losing the place by head. Ii Was stated
afterward, In eXcusing Red Lights bad run,
that he had twisted a shoe early i'll the race
and had hurt himself so badly that he VIII not
be able TO run again for some considerable
time.
All the five entries were backed in the second
race, seven turlongs, selling, the weight of
owners money finally seDdlug Georgetown 10
the post fayOrite at TO 5, after lie had seen
twOs and TO o. Prince Henry on his Eastern
performances was well supported at threes and
b TO 2. Gussie also being heavily backed at half
point better ODDS, but there was not much
money In sight for Motto, who went back from
threes 10 sevens aud SKIES. There was some
delay at the post as usual 10 field in which
Georgetown appeared, but Mr.. Ferguson with
cOmmendable patience finally dispatched them
10 fairly good start, the bad actor getting
perhaps, but o. serVedly, little the worst Of
the send-oh. Motto aud Gusse made running
TO the far turn, where Williams ana More
houses nlly drew 10 the front and entering the
stretch appeared TO have the race in hand, but
Peters again displayed little OF his somnolent
quality and Prince Henry coming again at the
seVen-eighth pole brought Gussle TO a harder
drive than she should have had TO win by
length.
Major Ban was made the medium of a ire
mendous plunge in the third race, six and
half furlODgs, for maidens. and his opening
price OF threes was soon cut down TO TO D,
Raphaes, who opened up al that figure, reced-
ing TO twos. RaphaesP position in the betting
market aud the way ia which he won the race
in the commonest OF cantero BY ten lengths was
a strange repetition Of Sallie MS case the pre-
viOuS day. Both had been strangely overlooked
by the talent, when they should have started
hot odds on faVOTiteS. Major Ban was practi-
cally left at the post but so palpably was il the
jockeys fault that Mr.. Ferguson felt compelled
10 fine him heaYy-S250-and set him DOWN
for an indefinite period. This IS Just the kind
of dlscpiining that sleepy and lazy boys, even if
their displays of BAD jockeyship are due TO
nothing else, deserve.
Nine horses faced the starter In the fourth
race selling event Tor Jhree-year-olds, run
over the Futurty course. MOryen, on his win
last wednesday, was installed hot fayOTite at
TO ., but owing to the money being pretty
evenly distributed on johnny Payne. Blue and
White and Carmel, who started at fours and
the race on Wednesday there happened 10 be
horse in yesterdays event who was able TO run
the son OF imported CheViot and Lurllne OF his
feet, and this being done ii soon uncovered The
white streak In his composition. The effort,
however, proved too much for johnny Payne,
the victory going 10 that steadier horse and
better slayer Carmel, who, In spite OF his diet
tante rider, won by head from Johnny Payne,
with Morven three lengths away.
Sir Reginald and Royal Flush opened up
equal favorites at twos for the last event of the
day, a fye-fuTlOng selling race, and were quoted
at The same price at post time. DR.. Ross was
played at eigbts and Currency backed down
from twelVes TO skies. Royal Flush clearly out
classed the balance OF The field, and after
lying in third position for half the journey
went to the front and won handiy enough by
two lengths from DR.. Ross. who was SIX IN front
of FoodmoTe.
Tod Sloan reappeared in the saddle for the
his own horse, I'D Stanley, having been lein-
