on the races, has again SHE'D his castor
into the betting ring at the Bay District
track. Last winterthe young plunger was
not very fortunate in the way OF placing
bets at the track, and left lighter in pocket,
but with q deal of experience. His2suc-
cessful ventures on the Eastern turf the
past season have been the talk OF the sport
ing world, and, nothing undaunted by his
past reverses, he has again lourneyed to
the Golden West to tempt tickle Dame
Fortune. Riley arrived in this City yes
terday morning and was on hand bright
and early at the track before the opening
race. Looking over the entries In this
event he concluded that Miss Ruth had a
chance, and his money forced her odds
down from to to /.
The plunger had large following in the
his swell ones. Burns rode the mare about
as we'll as a sailor rides the bicycle, and
Riley started in with a loser.
With ideal racing weather and a liberal
list of entries it was not to be wondered
at that large crowd found its way out to
the races. An influx of Fasteners the
last few days has frightened the game up
wonderfully. and the cemeteriai air no
longer pervades the betting-ring.
They have changed the complexion OF
the racing, however, for it was fraught
with the same old kinks and curves. Five
favorites were sent to the post, and but
one came back with the coin-Llttle
Cripple
The short six-furlong handicap was one
of the surprises OF the day: People have
said in the past that Blue Bell would not
stay going five furlongs. She did, and
they raised the limit to five and half fur
longs. The mare galloped away with q
handicap at that distance one day at juicy
odds and started in the handicap yester-
day. Before the race it was the same old
story-couldn't go the route-but now it is
impossible to find man at the track that
would bet she couldn't run four miles.
Going to the post yesterday with all sorts
of loose odds about her, 10 to l being the
general rule. she hoped out in front and
won all the way, passing the wire three
lengths clear in 1:12H.
In hard fight for the place. Cochran on

second position. all the way, was nosed ont

ing to advantage.
After being well to the fore up to within
fifty yards of the wire in the opening five
and half furlong dash, Nervoso was
colared and beaten out neck by Empress
of Norfolk, to l chance, with Chorn up.
Selkirk, 40 to l shot, who showed the way
into the stretch, finished third.
A decidedly warm article was cut loose
in the next race, a maiden race at five
furlongs for two-year-olds.. Backed by
stable money at odds varying from 10 to 10
to 1, Road Warmer left his field at the
start and simply galloping won hands
down in :O1% Prince Hooker, 15 to
shot, beat Rejected, another Is to l out
slider, three lengths for the place. Irene
+, the ~ to favorite, with Chevalier up,
finished in the ruck.
Soon Enough, at to 1 in the betting,
led all the way in the third race, over six
furlongs, winning cleverly half a length
before Arctic in the remarkably good time
of :14A. Venus, with Chevalier up, who
opened at s to and receded to 3, was a
close third.
The last race, mile and seventy-yard
run, went to the even-money favorite,
Little Cripple, who waited on the second
choice, Mamie Scott, until the stretch was
reached and then came on and won easily.
Four lengths away Duchess of MilpItas
beat Hy by half a length for the place.
