Events.

excessive. GOOQ horses draw gOOu Cr0WuS,
and the card yesterday was not one to ex-
ult over. Indeed, had it not been for the
little bit of life infused into the game by
the bidding up of several horses entered in
selling races, it might BE- called a tedious,
tiresome days sport. To be sure, four of
the five favorites won, and there praise
ends.
B. c. Holly, the Flosden .horseman,
thought some of the horses were entered
in selling dashes to be sold, too cheap, and
he let their owners know it in way that
was ..forcible, even if a bit expensive. He
began with boosting Red VIII, the winner
of the opening race, owned by smiling
Denny Lynch of the Arizona stable; but he
did not stop there. Long Lady, winner of
the second race, owned by the wealthy
firm of Burns & Waterhouse, won so i'm
posingly that she received a "lift," and
the same firms mare Rosebud, which cap
tured the third race, was hoisted a few
hundred dollars.
The aged mare, Corinne Buckingham,
was made a 2 to l favorite for the opening
five-furlong dash, and it was bad pick,
for she never got within hailing distance
of the money. Red VIII, with 81 to 1
against him, led all the way and won gal
Looping, four lengths in front of Tamalpais,
60 TO l outsider. Gondola was third.
The winner was bid up $500 over his en-
tered selling price OF 500.
Everybody had Long Lady for a cinch
in the two-year-old five and a half furlong
dash, and from to her price was soon
cut to to 5. She was not prominent the
first part of the journey, but came with
cyclonic rush through the stretch and
won cleverly, three parts of length be-
fore Tiberius. Cardwell, who made all
the running, was a tired third. The run
was made in the excellent time OF 1:071%.
Entered to be sold for $500, the FLY was
bid up to $1,000, the usual S. retaining her
for her owners.
The next race was a tive-furlong spin for
maidens, with maiden Jockeys in the sad
die. There were seven starters, with Rose
bud prohibitive l to favorite. Jefferson
and Bob Tucker received the most support
for the "platz." The boys were all so
anxious to get out of the maiden class
that they gave the starter all sorts of
trouble at the post, causing him to first
remove his coat and then to expostulate
with them, but without avail. Then,
throwing both arms in the air. he burst
forth in passionate appeal, which proved
successful, and the bunch was sent away
in good order. Jefferson led to the stretch,
when the favorite, walked past him and
won by two lengths in 1 :01A. The win
ner, entered to be sold for $780, received
raise of $500, her owners bidding her in.
There were but three starters in the
fourth event at six and half furlongs-
Mainstay, Captain Rees and Adam. The
first two horses opened at even money, but
the bookies refused Mainstay money.
They finally took it at 8 to 5, the big Mari
ner colt going to the post 2 to 5. He led
all the way, winning ridden out length
ahead of the Captain, who receded in the
betting 10 81 to 1.
Backed from even money to Ito the
favorite, Candor, took the last race of the
day very handily, running the miIelin
1:42. Hanford, who led the first choice
with Mary third.
