The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-04-24

Starter ii. ID. Brown went on TO memphis al
the conclusion of the Los Angeles meeting.
The Lenoke FLY, by surinam-Lenoke, ran in
the colors of Jack Follansbee of society fame.
do not wonder that Frank Van Ness does
not name the Experiment gelding. He is
certainly great horse to experiment with.
Colonel Dan Burns got whipsawed in the
fifth race. He first backed Silver, and return
ing to the ring placed few good-sized wagers
on MaryS.
Mr. Boots says that Instanator was laid up
with the influenza this past winter and could
hardly be expected to show up better at his
first start.
Senator Mahoney was beaten by two votes in
the first race His owner, Zeke Abrahams, stood
to win two or three Legislatures on the Fellow
charm gelding.
Al Stanford has turned his horse Haymarket
out at pasturage, and leaves tonight for Chi
cago, where he will ride John Brenocks jump
ers this summer.
Ed Purser was down wrong on Mamie Scott
and Sympathetic's Last but more than re-
trieved his losses on the day by plugging Malo
Diablo all around the ring.
Bob Isom's ride on the Ledette FLY was fine
exhibition of know -nothingism. 1t is about
time he learned that a light two-year-old can
not stand the bat for quarter OF a mile and
not be expected to swerve.
Ed Purser thought he was pulling Nick Halls
feathers when the lanky man from Illinois laid
him to 1 against Seraphin for a hundred.
Nick may yet turn out to be as good thing al
the game as Barney Schrieber was once sup
posed to be.
Young Piggott gives promise of becoming a
very clever jockey. His finish on Donna Car
lotta would have done credit to a much more
experienced rider. Piggott's first mount was
on one of Mr.. Maedonough's horses at Mon
mouth Park couple OF years ago, when he fin
ished fourth.
Ben Benjamin, the popular turf writer of the
Examiner, returned from Los Angeles yester-
day, having completed his labors as secretary
OF the Fiesta race meeting. While not a great
success financially, Ben says the racing was
high class, which TO q degree offset the light
attendance. Morven in particular, he says,
showes himself to be a star at the shorter dis
lance.
The marketat the Bay District yesterday
opened strong, with a slight tendency to
nervousness. At the call, precisely at l 80
o'clock, there was considerable activity and
hustle in the pit and some sharp exchanges
took place. The opening quotations were
but slightly different from the day preced-
ing, but, as the day advanced, the Bay
District Bottled-up Company's stock adj
vanced to $16S and there was q flutter of
excitement in the market. Later, when
the suspension of Dope, Form & Co. was
announced, the pit was in a very turbulent
state that bordered on the panicky as BUSH
ness was suspended at the close of the day.
As many are short on the market there
will be some merry hustling among the
bulls and bears at the call to-day.
The talent as usual set the pins up in the
alley yesterday and the accommodating
bookies bowled them over. Donna Car
lotta in the opening event and honest little
Annette in the fourth race were the only
two favorites that proved true to the trust
imposed in them.
The bookmakers did a fairly good bust
ness, even if not troubled with any very
weighty bets. Silver to great extent has
taken the place of gold, and most OF the
greenbacks were sent ON to New York by
Dave Gideon and Pittsburg Phil.
The two-year-olds opened up proceed
ings. w. OBJ. Macdonough's Donna Car
lotta was sent to the post IL to 5 favorite,
but the play was by no means confined to
the daughter of st. Carlo, as Spry Lark,
Queen, Virgie A and Eventide were all
we'll backed.
After running fairly well punched into
the stretch the race narrowed down to
duel between Donna Carlotta Eventide
and Senator Mahoney, in which the first
named was successful by a wink, with
Eyentide second, head in front OF Sena-
tor Mahoney.
Centurion disposed OF the very ordinary
lot pitted against him in the second race,
over six furlongs, in very polished man
ner, going to the post to l, and leading
from start to finish. Tobey, a 10 to l shot,
was second, a head away, three parts of
length in front of Favory.
A short six-furlong run, light welter-
weights, was next in order. From twos
Seraphin was quickly backed to to 5.
The balance OF the play was divided up be-
tween the Experiment gelding and Ledette
FLY.
Seraphin, followed by Experiment geld
ing, headed the field all the way AID
fought it out to the wire. Seraphin, who
had been leading, was passed the last
eighth by Experiment gelding and beaten
out long neck. Ledette FLY, poorly rid
den, was third.
The fourth race, full six furlongs, was
stepped off in light and fantastic man
ner by Billy Donathan's Annette. The
dainty little Midlothian Miss, starting a
to favorite led all the way and won.
pulled up to a walk, in 1:15L. In drive
Duchess of Milpitas beat Venus, backed
from 10 TO to 1, nose for the place.
The next favorite, however, was not
such decided success. The race, a six
frIrlong run also, was considered about
right for Lady Jane, and she went to the
post IL to 5. Later strong play on Mary s
sent her to the post at about the same fig
ure. Sympathetic's Last was also the
medium of some tall playing. The owner
of Ricardo, poor man, endeavored with
i'll success to get some of the moneyed men
to back his horse, and he went to the post
8 to l.
The Judge and Lady Jane headed the
field until nearing the stretch, when Ri
cardo's colors began looming up. Straight
ened for home the latter took the lead,
and won galloping by two lengths from
Nellie g. Lady Jane finished third.
After long let-up Installator was made
a to favorite for the last race on the
card at seven furlongs but receded in the
betting. and even money was later obtain
able. He closed to 10 chance. After
leading to the turn down the backstretch
Malo Diablo headed him and cantered in
front the entire way, winning by two
lengths from Mr.. Jingle, the second choice.
Inkerman was an ordinary third. The
favorite was beaten before turning into the
stretch, but as be is one OF the best horses
