ming race. 1t was too hot for the
district horses and the management
let in everything that wanted to go.
1t vas rapid company all through and
every horse that entered had been a
winner in warmly contested races.
There was Red Dick who had cap
tured purses at the Bay District track

a course in Northern California Cherc-
kee and Drummer, who hardly ever
knew what it was to have their colors
lowered and Todhunter who won the
half in Reno in 49,.
All the horses were out to win and
they had 119 pounds up, less
than some had carried before. None
of the jockeys could afford to pull a
race and the crowd knew that it would
be a race for the stuff from start to
finish, TOdhunter had never before
run a tfve-eights race and it was his
maiden effort at that distance. The
starter had orders to squelch any at
tempt at jockeying at the start and he
got the horses off well.
When the pools were chalked up,
Red Dick was the favorite at $50,
Todhunter second choice at $40 and
the field at $14. The talent backed
Red Dick heavily. The idea was that
the a. was just suited for Dick. In
a little while Tod had dropped back to
IS and then to 81, when his Carson
admirers got in in good sha e. In
the Mutuals it was about 3 to- against
Todhunter. 1t was out that the rae
was for blood. Campbell was up on
Tod and everybody knows that when
Campbell strides a horse he Is out for
the first place at the finish. After
considerable jockeying the horses got
the word and Red Dick was about
three lengths in the lead. Tod
Lucky Dan and the Drummer bun
ched behind. Tod soon got his q
foot stride in working order and be.

in the lead, and a shout went up from
the Grand Stand. He was coming il

Dan and Cherokee fighting for sec
ond place. Then the riders whip.
whistled in the air, Charley Cusic
