Charley Quinn was not in such bad form
when he backed Instigator.
It seems as though the Jockey Club might
have offered $500 handicap for Decoration
day.
Mr.. Maedonough had the ring guessing which
horse was his choice by the number he played
in the third race.
Jockey Sullivan, who was lately reinstated
made his temperance in the saddle yesterday
and put up two very creditable rides on Per
haps and Howard.
Anything Moose Taylor seems to have the
mount en- Of late is always quoted at a long
price in the betting. Twenty TO 1 against Leon
l. looked a rather "stif'' price.
F. S. Goodwin of Goodwin Bros, New York,
publishers of the Turf Guide, left for the East
last evening via Los Angeles after brief So
iourn. Mr.. Goodwin is very enthusiastic over
California q racing State, and promises to
return here the coming fall.
Hinrichs, the "St. Louis Garrison" no longer
treats as joke the remarks that have been
passing around in regard TO some of his rides,
which savored very strongly OF the Sampsonian
order He has fallen int disfavor OF late both
with the trainer OF the stable for which he has
been riding and the general public. Hinrichs
is an extremely clever gentlemanly young

he is bound 10 make mark in the saddle.
WyanashOtt was about as hard a looking
specimen OF the thoroughbred as has been
turned loose on the track in many day, and
If the stock is getting so low that horses OF his

IN the name of humanity let US have cessa-
ton OF racing. The crippled racer could
hardly be urged into gallop in his prelimi-
nary warming-up gallop under persuasion OF
the bat, and ran in the race as though his
joints had become ossified. If ii has come to
this a merry-go-round with wooden horses
would be preferable, for they would answer all
purposes OF the betting ring, which is the chief
consideration nowadays.
The ruling off of Flynn has to all appear
ances had a most wholesome effect on rae
ing at the Bay District, for it is anotieeable
fact that the last two days, favorites and
horses that have been figured to have q
chance have finished very close to the
notch they were calculated to. When one
or two "undertakers" that are responsible
for the downfall of these luckless riders
have been given their just deserts, it will
give still more invigorating stimulus to
game that was beginning TO get very Iumpy
at times. Yesterday faYorites took the
first three races, and Sir Richard, who
opened second choice to Realization for the
fourth race, but receded in the betting.
won easily. The last event on the card was
dump. for the two favorites were badly
showed under.
Going to the post a Is TO l favorite for
the opening race, a tive-furlong sprint for

Instigator, well ridden by Hennessy, to

from behind, finishing a good third.
Of the jOblot that started in the next
race, mile dash, Alexis was apparently
the best, and even money was quoted
against him. Wyanashott was second
choice, backed from I TO to l.
Alexis won handily at the finish, al
though he had to be extended at one period
OF the journey TO stall off st. Elmo's chal-
Ienge- The last named was second and
Minnie Beach bad third.
Charmion, Dan Miller's speedy daughter
OF Iyrant. was decided choice for the
mile condition race. 6 TO being the best

rled good bundle of money at threes, as
Gid Mr.. Jingle a point higher.
Gree went out when the flag fell and
tried TO lose Charmi ion, but found it a had
undertaking. Entering the stretch but
shortly after cried quits and fell back to
last place. Charmion then won easily by
three lengths from Mr.. Jingle, with Don
Cesar in third place,
After openingat to l, being backed
down to I to and receding in the betting
to threes, Sir Richard galloped in five
lengths ahead of the field in the fourth
race, five and half furlong spin. Reali-
cation, the even-money favorite, at post
time was second, half length in front of
Blue Bell a II to l shot. The winner en-

retaining him with the usual So bid
After long let-up Rey Alfonso, looking
far from fit, made his temperance in the
last race, a six and half furlong haunt,
and went to the post equal favorite with
Thelma, S to being chalked against both
in the ring.
Thelma and Howard, the latter II to 1
chance, made all the running to the
stretch, where Charley Weber, who had
been taking matters quietly with McLight,
brought his horse up, and an eighth of a
mile from home had the race up his sleeve.
He passed the wire an easy winner, two
lengths ahead of Rico, who was quoted at
10 10 1 in the books. Thelma was firing
third. The winner went to the post to /.
