WHIT HAPPENED TO BOB?
Probably Ham, the Admin
stratIOn Jockey" Could Tell.
NO QUESTIONS MERE AS1ED
IsIan nd Talent Never Expected InveSti-
cations Particularly When Little
McCarren and washburn Have a
Red Banner Day-TrineuIo in Form.

| II there is a day goes by at the Island
| track that Mr.. William Ham doesn't get
| in specimen of his '.strong arm" work,
the talent would like to know when it
| occurred.
| If they had a line on his off day there
might be some small chance of winning
a bet. 1t would seem, however, that that
| day never comes.
Every day lac gives rides which would
cause him to be ruled off of respectable
track at once At the Island they pass
unnoticed. The management makes it
their business TO see that the admins
trauon jockey" doesn't get the worst
of it, and little Willie" goes on his way
rejoicing.
but this exhibition on Bob yesterday was
about the Tankest OF the lot
Jeneola was the good thing in the race,
being played from to Gown To 10 8.
Those who follow the races Tor a living
kept off Bob, as they knew that the race
was i.Xed. Tie GeucIal pLbilC, however,
only knew that Bob had beaten WIStIul and
that WistruI had galloped away from
Jeneola- They therefore played Bob heavily
and lost their money.
1ne eco th.uS got away the worst OF
| the start, and the rest OF the field saw that
she was never caught. Ham rode his
| mount all over the track ana made bluff
of riding when it was too late TO get up.
ANOTHER SHADY RIDE.
Another ride which might have been
looked into was Burns exhibition on 3 yde.
He was heavily played, as were Juliet
and O'Hearn in the same race.
Burns was not too anxious to get off
and when he did ierked his mount back
i'll the neck, and stayed there.
Murphy, the artist who has such knack
of getting left at the post, resorted to his
old tricks, and was as good as left with
Come Home.
The attendance was very poor, and only
twelve bookies did business. They were
kept pretty busy, however, as several of
the races furnished red-hot betting ar
fairs.
Quite a serious accident occurred in the
sixth race. Outsider was ridden by A.
Moore and got off last. He ran all right
to the upper turn, where he suddenly fell,
and when examined it was found that his
back was broken. Moore went over hts
head and escaped unhurt.
What looked at first like very crooked
six and one-quarter furiongs. Parthian,
ridden by King, went to the post at 3 to 1.
He got off badly, but moved up on the
back stretch. Going around the far turn
he went wide, and at the finish King did
not hurt himself riding.
Those who played the horse were very
much dissatisfied until they learned that
one of The stirrups had broken early in the
race.
M'CARREN'S BOY LUCKY.
Hughey McCarreus boy, washburn, had
a lueky day. riding four straight winners,
two of them being MoCaIens horses.
Sun Dart, Redowac, and Anxiety were
all touted as sure winners in the opening
race. The first two both opened at to
and closed at 8 ard A, respectively, with
Anxiety at to 2. Duffy rode very care
less race or the latter and finished fourth
Ladylike, a 20 to 1 shot, made all the run
ming, but quit badly at the end, being beaten
out by Redowae and Pacthian.
Jeneola gut the best of the start IN the
two-year-old race, and was never caught.
