GOOD SIZED FIELD OF
YOUNGSTERS.

The racing at the track yesterday was
attended by the usual dumps and upsets
attendant to racing of late, the star fall OF
the day being that of Lucky Dog, the giant
son of Darebin, who went to the post to
10 favorite in the fifth race, at six furlongs,
with but three starters, and finished third.
Midas, Don Williams Chicago Derby
candidate, was second choice in the race
with 314 to 1 against him, imported Thorn
being the 30-to-1 outsider. When the flag
fell Lucky Dog at once went to the front,
leading Midas three lengths as they passed
the half. Rounding the far turn Isom
began crawling up on the favorite with the
second choice, and was but length and a
half in the rear as they entered the stretch.
An eighth from home Lucky Dog hung
out signals of distress, for Carr was seen to
be riding him, but to no effect, for he was
passed by both Midas and Thorn, the
former winning very cleverly by length,
Covington's imported colt beating the
favorite half a length for the place.
Another very warm thing that was
bowled over was the Kentucky stable
Sallie Calvert, who went to the post to 5
for the opening sprint at five and half
furlongs. Middleton, who could have lost
his company but for his poor wind, was an
8 to l outsider. Grammar and Abe Levy
had their money down on Raphael whose
chance certainly looked good. Pittsburg
Phil staid with the Pleasanton stable's
hard-luck horse Mutineer with 20 to l
against him and he got the money, for the
Mccarthy horse won by three lengths
from Lodi, with Middleton a close third
The two-year-old race for maidens half
mile, resulted in a victory for the to 5
favorite, imp. Miss Brummel, who went to
the front shortly after the flag fell, and
won ridden out, length and a half in
front of Joan. Red Pike was fair third
Ingomar finally struck company that
could not make HIM sulk, all ridden by
stable-boys. He went to the post to 10
favorlte, with Mary S second choice at IL
to 5. 1t was very pretty run to the half
pole, where the four starters were heads
apart. At this point Mcintyre, on Miss
Buckley, running on the outside, attempted
to make too short a turn. humping Mollie
X, putting her out of the race. Through
the stretch Ingomar held his field safe,
winning by three parts of a length easily
from Miss Buckley. Mary was third.
To me it was not clear why Oracle
should be a Z TO favorite for the fourth
race over the short six-furlong course IN
less 1t was that the bookieS saw a chance
TO work little bunko game, taking advan-
tage of the fact that Griffin rode him. To
my mind there were two others in the
race, Comrade and Wheel of Fortune, that
certainly looked more entitled to be favor
ties. Bookmaker Roses horse Boreas was
also well backed yesterday, and showed a
lot of speed. To him can probably be
attributed Comrades defeat, for the two
raced out In front at killing pace, Com
rade tossing it up shortly before reaching
the stretch. Strengthened for home the
hot pace told on Boreas, and he was passed
by both Wheel of Fortune and Faro, the
former winning with little up her sleeve
by three parts of a length. The winner
who went to the post with to / against
her is a racy-looking chestnut filly by
Gano out of Jennie B.
When he warmed up for the last race it
looked to me as though Mainstay would
rather be playing marbles than run, for he
seemed a trifie sore. Royal Flush, who
is a very favorable horse about the present
time, was an even-money favorite opening,
with young Critic up. Barney Schneider
took chance on McFarlane, the Bone
Doctors" charge. who ran very fair sort
of race, although he did fail to get any
OF the coin. Royal Flush won cleYerly at
the finish by a length from the gray horse
Sir Richard, who is rapidly getting into
winning form. Mainstay was an ordinary
third. In this last race Riley Grammar
played both Banjo and Sir Richard. The
tickle Goddess of Fortune was not over in
dulgent with the young plunger, for his
attempts to deprive the bookmakers of
their wealth was not attended with much
more success than the balance..of the talent.
