certainly have been at loss to infiict fine
especially in this branch of sport which savors
OF the rough at all times
In turf parlance Jack ATKINS is said to have
"killed the ring" yesterday. The popular
young bookmaker was big winner over the
victories of Crawford and Del Norte, and did
not book on the hurdle race
There was some fault found with Piggott's
riding of Bloomsbury. The latter horse but
recently won a maiden race, and as Lucrezia
Bofgia looked to be handled with kid gloves by
the Handicapped on her recent performances,
the colt was undoubtedly beaten bya better
horse at the weights.
Crawford, winner of the fifth race, entered to
be sold for 800, was boosted" $500 by Book
maker Billy Beverly, who had him on the list.
Charles Boots, owner Of Bobolink, the second
horse, returned his portion of the run-up
money to the owner of Crawford.
CarmePs run was little short of remarkable,
and only demonstrates what a very fast horse
the chestnut sulker is when he takes a notion
TO run. He got about fifty yards the worst of
the start, but as the field took the first hurdle
he was well up in front. That mile workout
OF his in l :3915 at Sacramento some months
The brown horse Del Norte and Jockey
Plggott carried off the honors Yesterday.
The son Of imp. Greenback won the mile
and quarter handicap in the fast time of
Z:of94, and on returning to the stand both
morse and rider were the recipient of ali
ovation. Del Norte was second choice in
the betting, the bookmakers laying as good
as to l against him at post time. Mr..
Jingle had first call in the betting, backed
from to 2 to 1. Thornhill pressed Del
Norte hard for second-choice honors, and
the other starters, Annette, Claudius and
Flirtiila, did not lack support
Jones on Annette again tried runaway
tactics, and as she turned into the stretch
for home with gap of fully three lengths
separating her and Del Norte, who had
moved up from fourth position, it looked
as though they might prove successful.
The merry clip had told on her. however,
and when Piggott let out link on Del
Norte, the brown horse passed her
like shot, and stalling off the rush
of Mr.. Jingle on which Weber now made
his run, won cleverly by length and a
half. Thornhill took third place in drive.
1t was very popular victory and owner
Mat Storm was congratulated on all sides.
Bloomsbury, who recently graduated
from the maiden class, was the "hot one"
in the two-year-old handicap, going to
the post 214 to l favorite. He looked
very much in evidence at one stage of the
journey, but succumbed at the end to
Lucrezia Borgia, formerly the Ledette
FLY, second cnoicein the betting, who won
rather handilv by length, running the
five and half furlongs IN :08L. Joe K
was fair third, with the others beaten off,
Charles A came out in the opening race
of the day, five and half furlong dash,
after a long rest, and the talent wished he
had prolonged his vacation at the concIu-
sion of the race. The "black wonder" was
a hot Ii to 10 choice, and he finished such
bad third that telescope was necessary
to place him. In a Notwithstanding
finish Hyman, the third choice, nosed out
the second choice, Abb p, who had made
all of the running.
Old Tim Murphy struck a rare soft spot
in the second race at five furlongs. There
was nothing in it, and the roam Splinter,
a to 5 chance, shook them off like so
many fieas and won galloping from
Nervosa, with Greenback Jr. IN third place.
The fifth race on the card a cheap mile
selling dash, contained a number of I'M
known quantities, and betting on the race
was brisk. Little Bob certainly looked
the best of the lot, and he ruled slight
favorite, going to the post with threes
about him. OF the rest Bobolink, Rose
Clark, Crawford and Miss Ruth received
the bulk of the support.
Bobolink led the greater part of the Jour-
ney until hundred yards from the wire,
when Crawford came on and through
Piggott's superior riding won by head.
Bellringer was good third,

taken by Carmel, who went to the post at
to and ran wonderful race, after get
ting off away behind his field when the
flag fell view of the entire race could
not be obtained on account OF the fog, but
as the horses swung into the stretch Car
mel was leading, and he Won handily in the
excellent time of 2:48. The favorite, Mes
tor, was second, six lengths in front of The
