starting, and at the end of the day the
twelve bookmakers that stood on the block
undoubtedly retained the capital they
started. in the day with and little more
added to it. Two favorites, one very
doubtful one, were all that managed to
survive the storm and finish in front. The
race that contained the best lot of starters,
the fifth, was declared off on account of
scratchings, and ''crab" race substituted.
Frank Van Ness shook the betting ring up
again in the first race with Pricelle, who
opened up at 10 to l and was backed down
to 4 to 1 at post time. Moryen is getting to
be quite racehorse, picking up III pounds
in the fourth race he defeated Major Cook,
the to favorite, very handily, with to
! against him.
Probably none of the starters in the first
race, five and half furlong squirt, will
ever be Suburban candidates, but they an
swered the purpose of bettors Just as well.
Dick Ledgett's Nj agara was to favor
tie, with the Eolian FLY second choice at
threes. Frank Van Ness, who has lately
taken the horses of the Thornhill stable in
charge, had Pricelle in the race. The owner
of Morello rather fancied his chances, and
from 10 10 he was backed down to tours
at post time. Joe Frank, 80 to 1 shot,
and White Cloud also started.
Pricelle took the lead as the flag fell,
closely accompanied by the Eolian filly,
who kept him company to the foot of the
stretch hill, where Pricelle shook him off,
and coming on won easily by four lengths.
The hill proved too much for the Eolian
FLY, who died away and was passed by
both Joe Frank and Niagara, who finished
second and third, respectively.
But six started in the second race, also a
FIVE and a half furlong run-Zampost,
Mutineer, Yangadene, Bellringer, Mestor
and Zaragoza. Zampost, far from what he
was at one time, went to the post l to
favorite. Bellringer and Mutineer were
rather short odds in the betting, but the
others all had long odds laid against them.
Griffin rushed Mutineer to the front as
the flag fell and kept him there to the
three-quarter pole, closely followed by
Zampost He tired at this point and the
lengths from Bellringer. The latter had
been trailing behind, but came with a great
burst of speed at the finish and beat
Mutineer out for the place.
Molie r at II to and Sligo at to 2
divided honors for favoritism in the third
race at seven furlongs. Idaho Chief at 40
to /, Carmel, Gussie and Hy by, tie third
choice, also started.
When the flag fell Mollie r, who pos
sessed the most speed of the lot, showed in
front, but stumbled and was passed by
Sligo. While again trying to get to the
front she was interfered with at the first
turn and fell back, but again got to running
and led Sligo at the second turn. Mollie
held her lead to the top of the first hill,
where Sligo passed her, and was never
afterward headed, winning easily by a
length. Gussie finished strongly and got
the place by two lengths from Hy by. The
stretch hill proved fatal to Molie r, who
died away and finished back in the bunch.
a light welter-weight race, twenty-eight
pounds above the scale, was fourth on the
card, and ended in grand dump for favor
tie players, who figured that the distance.
five and a half furlongs, just suited the 1
to 2 favorite, Major Cook, carrying 100
pounds. Morven, who seems to negotiate
the hills extremely we'll, had 121 pounds
up, but carried considerable money on his
chances. Jake johnson, Chiquito, Olivia
and st. Jacob all received some support.
The bright ones had it right. Major
Cook went out in front, followed by Nor
ven, who raced him to death, and he threw
it up going up the stretch hill. Morven
kicked out, beat him three lengths. Chi
quito finished fair third.
The best race of the day, the last one,
was declared off, and $500 selling race at
five furlongs substituted in its stead. The
starters were Arctic, Relampago, Halifax,
Dave Douglass, Little Bob, Nipper, Joe
Winters, Valparaiso and Eckert. Relam-
pago opened warm favorite, but so much
of the right kind of money went in on Lit.

against him. Anything you asked for you

Little Bob sent the hopes of his support

others never got near him, winning eased
