at present, his ride on Greenback Jr. being an
especially good piece of jockeyship.
Phil Archibald's name was missed yesterday
from the list of pencilers that cut in. Jack
Atkins took hts place, which completed the
solid eight

which, added to additional infirmities, left her
in such state that 1t was deemed best to end
the youngsters suffering with kindly bullet.
Both Gonzales Maid and Swiftsure were sup
posed good things" IN The race in which they
started. The former was backed down from 25
TO 10 to 1, but the betting against the latter
horse was OF the shifting order. Opening at IL
to the odds against him were cut to 8 to l.,
when they again went back to the original
opening price around post time.
While being taken from his stabling quarters
TO the paddock previous to the third race in
which he was a starter, the gelding Rico was
struck by Geary-street car and severely in
jured one OF his hind legs being badly cut In
the region of the hook joint. According to on
lockers the accident could have been ayerted
had the gripman exercised due diligence. The
horse was withdrawn from the race, and his
trainer, Frank Taylor, fears the racer to be per-
manently ruined.
Owners that are not fortunate enough to
be the possessors of crackaiacks had day
yesterday at the track. The card was
made UP of all sprlnting dashes, and the
starters, with one exception, were a most
ordinary lot, As in all races where cheap
class of horses come together. picking win
ners was difficult, the pencilers having a
big percentage the best of it.
Notwithstanding the several "bottled
up" good things that were cut loose, two
OF the public favorites managed 10 win.
The one long shot of the day to win was
Solitaire. who took the opening race, q
fve-furlong dash, in drive from Auteuil,
going to the post 10 to 1. Steadfast was
third, while the IL to favorite, Lee STAN
ley, and Tyrena, to l chance, were
fighting it out for fourth place, head
further back.
Every entry in the second race on the
card, a sprinting affair of five and half
furlongs, received more or less backing.
At post time Seraphin was slight favor
lite at 16 to 5, with little choice in the odds
against Major Cook, City Girl or Bernardo.
The favorite headed the bunch well into
the stretch, where she was passed by Major
Cook and Bernardo, who fought the issue
out. By good riding Hinriehs got Ber-
nardo's nose in front as the two horses
passed the finishing mark. Seraphin ended
up third.
Bookmaker George Roses very shifty
performer, Boreas, again showed himself
to be horse of some quality by running
the third race off the reel, finishing the six
furlongs IN 1:13A with something to spare.
He went to the post 8 to 5 favorite. Rose
Clark, the to / outsider, downed the
second choice, Road Runner, handily for
the place.
The fourth event, another five-furlong
spin, proved a mere pipe-opener for the IL
to 10 choice, Johnny Capron, who won in
Jog in :02M. Josie G, the to 1 second
choice. took the place by head from
Mount Carlos.
The last race of the day was another very
uncertain betting proposition for the tai
ent. After considerable shifting about
Amigo finally closed favorite at 81 to l..
Sport McAlli.ter, who when he gets tired
gets awful weary, was second choice, with
Dolly NJ but q shade worse in the betting.
Sport led his field with his usual show of
speed until furlong from home, where
Greenback Jr. collared him and be quit,
the latter winning handily in 1:0SL.
Prince Deyine was third behind the Sport.
