THE USUAL LONG
SHOT CAME TN.
VULCAN UPSET A GOOD THING IN
THE LAST RACE, WINNING
AT IS TO 4.
WHITE CLOUD DROPPED DEAD
TWo-YEAR-OLDs SPORT SILK FOR
THE FIRST TINE AND GIVE
GOOD PROMISE.

The attendance at the track was again
large yesterday, and the racing mixed as
usual Long shots crop out with alarming
frequency lately and yesterday was no ex-
ception, Vulcan getting away with the last
race at 10 to l. White Cloud, one of the
first choices in this race, ran away and
after clrcling the track twice fell dead
The principal attraction of the days rae
ing was the run for two-year-olds, the first
one OF the year. 1t was won by w. OBJ.
Macdonough's unnamed gelding by St.
Carlo, dam Sister to Ruth Ryan. Close at
his heels, and one that will bear watching,
was the Corrigan entry Kowalsky very
racy looking son of Isaac Murphy and De-
rochment. The race was run in the very
fast time, considering the condition of the
track, of :52L.
Two favorites, Draw Scot and Motto,
were all that could weather the fatal stretch
hill.
The first race on the card was a five
turlong selling race for non-winners of two
races at the meeting. Motto seemed to
nave again struck such soft spot that
from to her price was quickly cut. to
even money. Repeater and Catch En- re-
celved the most backing of the other
starters.
Motto went to the front the first furlong,
and although it looked at one time as
though Repeater would be dangerous she
was eased up by a length and half Re-
peater beat Catch EN- length for second
place.
Eight youngsters made their initial rae
ing bow in the first two-year-old race of
the year at half a mile. The Lowe sta !
ble's good looking son of imp. True Briton
was heavily touted and went to the post
favorite, but Flynn, who rode him, had his
usual luck on first choices. Many were
taken with the racy air about Kowalsky,
the Corrigan entry a son of Isaac Murphy,
and CHANGED bet on him at to |. Re-
ports of fast work at Sacramento by Mr..
Macdonough's chestnut gelding by st.
Carlo sent him to the post second choice.
Dan Garlic, brother to Weber's Sunrise,
running in the colors of Schrieber and
Robbins, was close up for favoritism hon
ors. Being an unknown quality the odds
on the others heightened out but little.
The Wawona FLY was first away, but
Griffin, off second with the sister to Ruth
Ryan gelding, rushed out in front and
leading all the way won by length.
kowalsky, fourth into the stretch, made a
fine run, being beaten but length. Will
liam Pinkerton finished third.
The favorite, Miss Ruth, to chance,
was beaten in the seven-furlong race by
that tine-looking son of Surinam Flash
light, with 3 to / against him. Arundel
was third choice at to 2.
Flashlight took the lead at the first turn,
leading all the way, and won ridden out
by two lengths. Miss Ruth beat Arundel
handily for theplace.
A rather ordinary lot were arrayed
against Draw Scot in the fourth race of six
furlongs, SO much so that 2 to 5: was his
price in the betting. Most of the betting
was done on place horses-Ike l., Talbot
Clifton and Carmel being the prominent
candidates for that position.
Draw Scot was away first, but Ike L and
Carmel went out and made the running to
the stretch. The gray horse passed Carmel
easily enough, but Carr had to shake him
up to beat Ike L, finally winning by two
lengths. Carmel ran third
Although very cheap lot of dogs started
in the last race at FIVE furlongs it was not
without incident. In one of the break
Always at the post White Clown, equal
favorite with Soledad, ran away with Isom,
made the circuit of the track twice, and
fell dead as he neared the starting point
Soledad was the good thing in the race,
and came very near landing it. Steadfast
was also well backed at tours.
When the flag finally fell Soledad took
the lead, and, running in front all the
way, looked a sure winner. Forty yards
from the wire, however, he began backing
up, and was beaten out by both Vulcan
and Steadfast. Vulcan was 15 to in the
betting.
