TIE CRABS" ALL
HAD AN OUTING.
FIVE SELLING RACES AFFORDED
THE SKATES A CHANCE
TO WIN OUT.
REY ALTA WON AT 20 TO 1.
LYMAN ONCE MORE PROVED A
GOOD THING" AND Won
AT 8 TO I.

The card throughout yesterday was made
up OF cheap selling races, and the public
appreciated the fact by staying away. The
attendance as well as the betting was light,
the plungers not caring TO wager much
money on plugs that are not worth a hun
dredth part of the coin they put up.
Notwithstanding the badly mixed condi-
ton OF the card three favorites managed to
land the money. The one long-priced out
slider to win was Rey Alta, who gathered
in the second race very handily. Starting
in the betting at 20 to l, twelves could be
had against him at post time.
For the opening race, short six-furlong
run, Don Cesar went TO the post to 10
favorite, and won easily from Prince
vine, who beat Emma Mack head for the
place in a drive. OF the outsiders Mowitza
received the most backing.
Three good things went astray in the
second race, full six-furlong jaunt. Ac-
cording to the bookmakers' odds the race
seemed to lie between Annette, Ledalia and
Sympathetic Last, the odds against all
three being shade better than 2 to / at
post time.
Rey Alta, against whom 20 to 1 could at
one time be had, upset calculations by
taking the lead shortly after the flag fell,
and leading all the way won handily by
two lengths. Annette, who got away from
the post last, ran a splendid race, beating
Ledaha half length for second place.
The favorite, Lonnie B, captured the
light welter-weight race at seven furlongs,
after Carr had laid away with the mare
until he struck the stretch, when he came
on and won handily by length Remus,
60 TO l shot, got the place, two lengths in
front of the second choice, WawOna. The
start was poor one, Adolph being left at
the post.
Nine third-rate timber-toppers went to
the post in the steeplechase, Three Forks
with Clancy up having the call in the bet
ting. Mestor was second choice at threes.
Guadalupe and the others were all quoted
at long prices.
April headed the field over the first Jump,
when Clancy went out in front with Three
Forks and was never headed, winning
easily by two lengths. April finished sec
ond, four lengths in front of Wyanashott.
At his first start Hyman was plugged
and won easily, but in the last run yester-
day, siX-furlong spin, it was thought he
had struck too speedy company, but he
must have had a link or two in reserve in
his previous run, for he won Just as hand
lily yesterday with to l against him.
Mary went TO the post favorite, with
Griffin up, 2 to 5 being about the price that
was laid against the mare. OF the other
starters imp. Thorn and Miss Buckley re-
celved the strongest support.
Hyman was away first as the flag fell,
but Mahogany soon shot 10 the front and
made the running to the stretch, where
imported Thorn took the lead. Lyman
passed the imported colt sixteenth from
home and Won easily by length and a
half. Mary S came fast at the finish and
nipped Thorn out for the place.
