The Grand Stand at Ingleside
Track Crowded With the
Fair Sex.
STRATHMEATH BEAT BASsO
The Feature of the Days Racing Was
Piggott'S Great Finish on Imp.
Candid.

Ladies day at Ingleside track was pro-
nounced success. The cars on the differ
ent lines conveying people to the track
were crowded with the fair ones, and by
the time the bugle called the horses out
for the first race the crowded grand stand
was perfect bower of female loneliness.
They were very enthusiastic spectators Of
the racing and the winning jockeys came
in for all sorts of sweet things. But the
losers. And the male portion of the
population. They, too, turned out largely,
making the whole look like a jolly holiday
throng.
The racing was excellent, just enough
outsiders slipping in to make the days
sport spicy. Strathmeath, the favorite in
the match race, defeated Basso and the
first choices in two of the other events
won, but the other three races went to
more lengthy priced ones in the betting.
The red, white and blue colors of Presi-
dent A. B. Spreckeis were twice carried to
the front, by Rummel and imp. Candid.
Piggotts finish on the latter was superb
effort, and was easily the star feature of
the days racing.
The Burns e. Waterhouse entry Princess
Noretta was an even-money favorite for
the opening two-vear-old race at five and a
half furlongs, but was outgamed by the
second choice. Rummel, carrying the
Spreckels colors, and beaten four lengths
at the wire. Doubtful, an outsider, was a
close third.
When Strathmeath and Basso came out
for their match race over mile for $1,000 a
side the old Derby winner was a to 5
favorite. with 6 to 5 against the younger
horse. Strathmeath waited on Basso I'M
til nearing the bend for home, when he
drew MP on even terms. They ran locked
for some distance, but Willie Martin, on
the favorite, outrode r. Isom and got his
horse first past the wire hanjily by three
parts of a length.
There was some great specializing on the
ten sprinters that started in the five fur
long dash that followed this race. Babe
Murphy held sway in the betting at 215 to

OF it came in on the stretch and won Dy

men finished third. The time, 1:O2A,
marked the best performance OF the day.
The fourth race, over seven furlongs, re-
suited in the defeat of the to . favorlte
McFarlane. The first choice and Outright
made the running to the stretch, when E.
H. Shirley. who was backed down from 8
to to l, came on the outside and won
easily by couple of lengths. Outright
lasted long enough to beat Sir George a
head for the place.
The next race at the same distance par
took OF the nature of "snap" for the even
money choice All Over. Fannie Louise,
with Griffin up. the second choice, cut out
the running until Strengthened away for
the wire, when the favorite collared and
passed her and won galloping by two
lengths.
The real contest of the day occurred in
the last race, mile selling affair. Collins
was tepid 2H-to-1 favorite, most of the
money going in on Our Maggie and imp.
Candid at W to 1 each. The race sim
mered down to a drive between the two
last named starters, and in the most ex-
citing and desperate drive of the meeting,
