WAR TN PROSPECT.

BARNEY SCHREIBER CUT A VERY
PROMISING FILLY LOOSE IN
URSULA.

1t looks very much as though another
selling-race war was to be inaugurated at
the Bay District, to the undoubted JOY of
| the Jockey Club, which organization profits
| to considerable extent thereby. The fun
began after the finish of the fourth race,
won by Oakland, who went to the post IS
| to 5. Doggie Smiths horse never showed
fondness for weight and one day last
week was in handicap at top weight, lis
pounds, running unplaced. 1t happened
that Riley Grammar played him that day,
but yesterday let him severely alone, put
ting his checks down on Ingomar, the Ken
lucky stables horse.
It happened this way: Garcia, long
shot in the race, went out and made the
running to the stretch, where he died
away, and Ingomar, who was running
second, took his place and appeared to be
winning, apparently holding Hy by safe
Chorn came along the last hundred
yards with Oakland, and beat the southern
horse out. This was too much for Riley
and, according to all accepted theories as
well as tlctions, the hot Southern blood
that courses through his veins boiled with
IN him, and be bid the winner up 5000 over
his entered selling price of $400. This may
be very good way to get back at an owner
when you have lost on his horse, but do
these plungers when they win thousands
on race ever think of the poor owner
through whose efforts the horse was pre-
pared for the race? 1 think not It is gem
| orally the jockey that gets all of the praise,
and the tip on the side. Ingomar, skate
horse, was entered for $500 in this same
race.
The second run up occurred in the last
race, won by Tigress, the 7 to favorite
entered to be sold for $500. The mare
led nearly the entire distance, and won
handily from Florence Dickey, the "good
thing" backed down to IL from % to /,
Hiram Argo finishing third When put
up to be sold, By Holy ran the little mare
by two or three hundred when J. Talbot
Clifton entered into the spirit of the thing,
and just for deuced joke, in cracks of $50
at bid, kept it up, until with the remarkI
''let him have her." he quit at $1420 Trainer
HUM bidding the additional S. retaining
her. The run up in this instance did not
fall SO heavily, as the mare is owned by
| young Hobart, the millionaire 1t was
nevertheless unpleasant and Trainer Hum
| threatens to retaliate.
Outside of these two incidents it was an
uneventful day, the favorites with one ex-
| ception winning every race For such q
| very good card the attendance was light,
navigation being not at all troublesome in
| the betting ring.

aphin had gallop in the first race. win
ming easily from Raphael. The Drummer,
100 to l chance, finished third.
Barney Schneider won the two-year- old
| FLY race with Ursula, who went to the post
hot favorite. She is a daughter of Ben
Ali and won galloping from imp. Miss
Brummel, after running over a quarter in
a breakaway.
The Lizzie Hampton colt, favorite for the
third race, won without difficulty from
Little Bob. Better ridden Chiquito, who
finished third should have got the place
The fifth race, five and a half furlong
affair, was romp for the even money ia
vorite Terrier, backed from Z to 5, and am
not the only one that thinks he will turn
the tables on Rey Alfonso when they again
meet. Fannie Louise, formerly the Nellie
Peyton filly, ran very creditable race
after her long rest. Considering the condi.
