WITH SLOANE UP, He BEAT OUT
THE 7 TO 10 FAVORITE
REALIZATION,
THREE FAVORITES FIRST.
BARNEY SCHREIBER's TWo-YEAR
OLD, FERRIS HARTMAN, Took
ANOTHER RACE.

The clustering, rainy weather kept
many from attending the races yesterday.
and those that did weather the storm were
far from being all enthusiastic betting
crowd. Pittsburg Phil took matters very
quietly, and Riley Grammar reserved his
plunges for more suspicious day. Nearly
all OF the plungers have been experiencing
a run OF i'll luck, and as picking winners in
muddy going is very uncertain occupa-
ton, and their bank accounts do not show
such large amount to their credit, they
are tribe shy in the pots these days.
Vi the six races on the card yesterday ia
vorites captured three and outsiders the
others. The long shot of the day was Trix,
who won the mile race, with 25 to l against
him, cleverly ridden by Tod Sloane. 1 am
told that his owner, C. H. Durkee, did not
fancy the gelding's chances, but put a good
bet down on Realization, the favorite.
Thinking better of it, however, he finally
placed $40 each way on his horse, and quit
nothing loser on the race. Trix started in
a mile and quarter race last week and
made such poor showing that there was
very little to encourage one playing him
yesterday.
Comrades good run on Saturday last
was apparently overlooked and in the
opening race yesterday, at five and half
furlongs, he went to the post to l, skies
at one time being obtainable. Boreas and
May Mccarthy had the call, most of the
big money going in on them Is to was
the general price against them at post
time, although Bookmaker George Rose
did get to l against some of his money.
The race proved gift for Comrade, who
led from start to finish, winning in a romp
from May Mccarthy Boreas was third.
Barney Schreiber's gelding, Ferris Hart.
man, was to favorite for the two-year-
old race at four and half furlongs, but he
did not have picnic. Midlo, son of
Imp. Midlothian, gave him hard tussle,
finally succumbing by length at the fin
lsh, after hard drive. The latter was
6 to 1 chance in the betting. Mr.. Mac
donough's filly, Donna Carlotta, was third.
The others were beaten away off, none of
them having been in their stride when the
flag fell.
The third race was taken very handily
by the to favorite Ross with Griffin up,
after having led most of the way. With
ninety-six pounds up Condo should have
shown to better advantage, but then
Burns is not the best rider in the world.
l learned before the race that Orville APP
pleby offered the boy $25 to stay on the
ground and let him put R. Isom up, but
Burns refused. Condo was good second,
with May Day third.
Opening at to 5, Realization was sup
posed to be such a good thing for the mile
race that he was speedily hammered down
to to 10. After leading all the way and
well into the stretch, he had enough an
eighth from home, and could not stall off
Irlx, who beat him out length. Mary S,
the second choice, finished a good third.
The steeplechase went to the 6-to-5
favorite Currency, backed down from to
l, who led throughout and won easily from
Nero. Wild Oats showed improved form,
finishing in third place.
Lucky Dogs win on Wednesday was a
bit too impressive, and yesterday in the
last race, a mile affair, all declined in his
favor. A cheap five-furIong race for
"crabs" was substituted in it's stead. did
not see many of the swell bettors chance
much on any of the starters, the play being
confined to the common trash" Chi
quito was made a to 5 favorite and should
have won, but after being in the front
until within fifty yards of the wire Glenn,
who rode him, allowed A. Isom to get
through next the rail, the consequence
being that he found himself outridden and
was beaten out head Wa To Wa FLY
finished third. The latter is FLY for
which Daggie Smith, who has a penchant
for picking up cheap horses, bought at an
auction for S25 month or so ago.
