C. webers ride on Rose Clark, the 100 to 1
outsider in the opening race, was a fine ex-
] hibition Of judgment.
| Johnny Coleman got down out of his box and
backed Venus to win the second race. She
! never looked dangerous.
| Charley Quinn took a chance on Nabopo-
laser at the long price, II to 1, his coin
cutting the odds to six as the horses went to
| the post. Ward rode him about the way Nc
Intyre did Tiberius, belonging in the stable
| badly.
Piggott and Eddie Jones each rode two win
ners. Chevalier had an off day, the closest he
came to the money being on Monitor who was
| nosed out by Rose Clark.
| The horses of the Wostchester stable belong.

chicago last saturday, and are expected here

! Any one can become plunger and gain ad-
miration in the ring at the track as the game
now stands on a very limited bank Just
shuf1e four or five twenties, start on brisk
walk toward some certain bookmaker's stand
and the crowd will fall over each other in
effort to see what horse you are backing.
Halfing, who finished miserable last in
the Detroit derby, was heavily backed by par
ties across the line to win one OF the Chicago
derbies, being considered by many the OZARK
horse" i'll those events.
Veva and Marionette were both backed down
several points in the betting on the two-vear-
old event. The former, considering her dis
advantage, ran very creditably, but the
Mariner filly has evidently not recovered from
her severe fall.
With three handicaps down on the card,
only fair-sized crowd journeyed out 10
the track yesterday ard at no stage in the
betting were the ten bookmak ers over
burdened with coin. The handicaps, with
one exception, turned out to be very list

being won in big gallops by the victorious
horses Heartsease, winner OF the two
year-old event, was especially we'll trea ted
by the Handicapped, being virtually pre-
sented with the race.
Two favorites, two second choices and
10 to l outsider we're successful in getting
the coin.
AS nearly every one predicted, Heart
sease, the even-money favorlte for the five
furlong handicap for members of the kin
dergarten class. had hardly to raise gal
Her Majesty and Veva into the stretch
when she passed them and won easily by
two lengths in LODI. Her Majesty, sec
ond choice, ran a splendid race, finishing
second, half a length in front of Tiberius
carrying eighty-seven pounds, who made
fine run from the rear.
With but four starters there was a great
deal OF sde-stepping and switching done
during the betting on the mile handicap
| With 81 pounds up Garcia's chances looked
| particularly bright, but Mcintyre, who

was laid against him. Opening favorite
at to D, Installator went back until 2% to
L was laid against him around post time.
The plunge in the betting was made on
Mr.. Jingle, whose cd DIS were cut in iiffy
from to to l, fl nally settling down at II
| to 5. Flirtilla was the outsider at fives.
The vim er was never in doubt from the
time the flag fell, for Installator went out
in front. and running all the way under a
wrap, won under restraint, length and a
half in front of the hard -ridden Mr. Jingle.
! Flirtilla was good third.
The opening race, a short six-furlong
spin with light welter-weishts up, was
considered a good thing for the California
stable Sir Modred colt, Monitor, the 6
to favorite, but after leading the entire
distance he was challenged the last hun
dred yards by Rose Clark, 10 to l chance
whom Weber had been reserving for a
| final rush. and beaten out a nose at the
wire. Miss Garvn was close third.
The old Splinter Melanie opened an to
5 choice for the second event on the card
a five and half furlong run, but the
money which appeared to be pooled
quickly cut her price to even money.
Venus, Oracle S and Blue Bell all receded
in the betting.
Away poorly, Melanie ran up into the
third position at the first turn, when she
was cut off and compelled to fall back
She came on again in the stretch, and,
passing her field, won handily by a length
! from Blue Bell in the fast time of :O7%.
Rico came like a rocket at the end, on the
outside, and was beaten but neck for the
place.
The five and half furlong handicap,
fourth on the card, furnished but four
starters. The Australian mare Ivy opened
fayorte at to 5, decidedly heavy play
cutting her price to to S, although plenty
OF even money was laid later in the betting.
The wise contingent were all down on
Hueneme, the second choice, with twos
about him. Fly, it was figured, was in to
kill Ivy. Off so to l was laid against the
fast gelding, while Is to 1 was offered
against the other starter, Ricardo.
With this small field to contend with
there was most tedious delay at the post,
fifteen minutes being consumed before
Ferguson dropped his flag, and then to
very rank start-Hueneme off in front, the
favorite last. AS usual, Fly quickly went
to the front. leading until something like
a furlong from home, when Hueneme
collared and passed him, winning by a
length, Fly the same distance in front of
