THE BAY DISTRICT TRACK,
The Favorite, Malo Diablo,
Won the Handicap Very
CleverIy.
FAvoR1TEs HAD AN OUTING.
Her Majesty Has Regained Her Lost
Form and Had No Trouble
Winning.

Four out of five of the favorites won yester.
| day.
| Eddie Jones is now riding in something like
| his old form.
Shaw, if he does not change the number OF
his hat, is the coming jockey.
| Thomas McTague the Montana horseman
| lett for his home last evening. On the eve OF
his departure he had the pleasure of seeing his
| lilly, Dara, finish in front.
| Oakland was about as near a race as Dublin
| is to Nose Gunst's cigar-store. Notwithstand-
| Ing that careless 4 to / chalked against him by
| the throne bookmakers the play on him was
exceedingly light.
Reserve, starter in the mile race, started off
IN one OF the breakaways on his own accord,
ana made the circuit of the track five times be-
fore he became leg weary. He was duly in
stalled member of the light artillery and will
receive his certificate to-day.
Democrat was backed for killing" and
ans packers had about as much chance of cash
ing their tickets as man would to walk across
the bay to Oakland on lead shoes. Wildermuth
may have good seat on the paddock fence,
out racehorses are out of his territory.
There is steady but noticeable falling
OH In the attendance at the Bay District
track, and it is not to be wondered at. The
reversals of form have been so frequent of
Late as to cause the Oldest inhabitant to
cast longing look at the sun and wink
the other eve.
1t strikes me that the judges in the stand
at the present meeting have been altogether
too lax in vigilance, and have overlooked
many peculiar runs that. in Justice to a
:sport-loving public, should at least have
been investigated. A few searching inquiries
often have tendency to tone up racing.
AT the beginning OF the meeting it was
promised that a detective would be on the
qul vlye for jobs. Did he ever discover
one? He scented salary day in the dis
lance and probably rested content.
Quite different from Tuesday, four of the
flve favorites topped the wire first, old
Joe Cotton being the only one to go down.
Inc mile and a sixteenth handicap was
the star feature of the days racing, and
was taken by Malo Diablo. the to 5 favor

going to the post 8 to 5. She took the lead
soon after the flag fell and won handilv in
1:O2H by. half length from Imp. Miss
Brummel, 20 to l shot in the betting.
The Nerva FLY was good third. Veva
was cut off on the far turn or she might
have been close up.
The mile selling race was on the profess
sional order. After long delay at the
post waiting for Reserve to finish his five
mile race against the "pipe'. the field was
sent away. Huntsman, the second choice.
followed by the to 1 fayorite Dara. was
the order into the stretch, Alexis and the
others q quarter of mile away. Dara
passed Huntsman in the stretch and won
handily. Alexis made up considerable
ground and finished fair third.
In the fourth race, five and half fur
long dash, Tim Murphy at to % made
his field look like cattle and won as he
pleased. In hard drive Shaw landed
Banjo in second place by short head
from Title s.
The last race, over the hills, resulted in
the only hard dump of the day. In the five
and half furlong run Joe Cotton was
consistent to 2 favorite throughout the
betting, O'Bee, though, was the ..good
thing" in the race, being backed down
from 8 to to L.
Getting first and second, Kathleen and
Robin Hood l had the race to themselves,
the latter winning easily at the end by
eight lengths. The winner was a 6 to 1
chance IN the betting. Kathleen beat
Inkerman three lengths for the place.
