Kinstry. and at one time a very fair performer,
died at the track yesterday.
Eddie jones distinguished himself by riding
three winners Yesterday, while Chevalier was
hot after him with two firstS
Peter Weber. the well-known horseman, who
now resides in Los Angeles, is up on flying
trip and visited the track yesterday.
The beware of long odds did not brighten
John Humphrey, for he backed Tiberius to the
extent of several hundred dollars.
Some little excitement was caused in the ring
Yesterday by an angry tilt of words between
Charley Quinn and Harry Mccarthy. The for
mer was laboring under the impression he had
given Young Mr.. Mccarthy some coin to bet
which the latter denied. Later Mr.. Quinn dis
covered his error and apologies were in order.
Joe Mccarthy of the Pleasanton stable, and
who also trains J. Talbot Clifton sijumper, The
Lark. is souring on the jumping horse business
and is anxious 10 sell his timber-topper Guada-
loupe. Joe intended putting Piantoni upon
The Lark Yesterday, but was compelled by the
O ffieials in the stand TO substitute W. Clancy
in his stead He thinks Pianteni could have
done as WELL and as he cannot pick his own
riders is willing to let the "leppers" alone.
California is not to be behind the times as
far as the horse-breeding industry is con-
cerned. BY the steamship Alameda that ar
rived from the colonies Wednesday evening
there arrived a horse that is bound to add
luster to Californias fame as producer of
great thoroughbreds. The horse in question is
Foul Shot, q son of Musket, sire of Car
bine, the greatest raeehorse Australia ever pro-
duced, consigned to the Merriwa stock farm
of Messrs. H. B. Lopez at Pleasanton. The high
prices received for, and the fine showing made
by the get of the dead Maxim imported to
this country by J. B: Haggin show how highly
the. blood of The great sire is priced in this
country and the foresight of Messrs. Lopez as
shown in securing this grand-looking represen-
tative<of a great sire. Carbine was recently
purchased by the Duke of Portland and now
the Duke of Westminster has a commission in
the market for a Musket horse. Foul Shot
proved himself great racehorse, winning
among other big events the Great Northern
Derby. SANDER, dam of Foul Shot was proba-
bly, one of New Zealands greatest TacehOrses,
she having won during her racing career y
races, and On being retired to the stud
proved great producer. Foul Shot is the sire
OF the following good winners: Snapcap,
Malta, Cloud Shot. Secrecy, Fish-oh, Nipapan,
Stray Shot, Flying Shot, Miss Shot, Pyroxylin,
Wayland, Bombshell, Grapeshot, Retreneh-
ment, Aldershot and Docility.
While young America downtown was
celebrating the glorious Fourth by setting
of. frecrackers and other explosives and
doing their utmost to lose an eye or two or
three fingers, good-sized portion of their
elder brothers wandered out to the Bay
District to: try their fortunes on some of
the many long shots that were exploded
out there. The turnstiles clicked merrlly
and bY the time the first race was called
. i,a of n
full force.
The racing was decidedly mixed, out
siders predominating, and it is safe to say
the boOkmakers more than made celebra-
ton money. OF the six fayorites sent to
the post, two only were successful.
The Elmwood stock celebrated Natal
day by capturing three of the six events
carded, Installator in particular distin
gushing himself, exhibiting wonderful
turn of speed in the race taken by him.
The purses were no larger than on ordi
nary days, the $500 mile and sixteenth
handicap ranking as the feature OF the
days sport. Six very fair performers
formance, having the call in the betting.
He opened at to 5, but the play on
Flirtilla, Roma and Little Cripple was so
strong that to 1 was offered against him
going to the post. Thornhill and Del
Norte were the outsiders.
AS in her previous races, Roma at once
went to the front when the flag fell, main
tanning a. comfortable lead until the stretch
for home was reached, when Thornhill
and Del Norte, who had been trailing close
behind, closed up on her. Thornhlll IN
second position very soon had enough,
and gave way to Flirtilla, VINO now loomed
up most dangerous competitor OF the
Boots entry. In the final drive between
the two fiIlies, Chevalier got Roma home
head in front, completing the distance IN
/ :48L. Del Norte, splendidly ridden by
Hinrich, looked a possible winner at less
than furlong from home. but tired per-
ceptibly from the draw-gate, finishing a
good third.
State. Reno and Durango, the first named
ranking favorite at to 5. Reno was
backed down from 4 to IL to 5, and Du
range was knocked down a couple of
points from his opening odds of s to 1.
=. The favorite was away badly by reason
of Chevalier pulling up, not thinking 1t to
be start. Durango went to the front, and
although Reno looked to have him beaten
down the stretch, responded gamely to
punishment and beat the big chestnut out
a nose. The favorite was fast-coming
third.
The two-year-old event, half-mile dash
for maident. marked the beginning of the
TiberiHs, opened an eyen-money choice,
but so forcibly did the different long shots
in the race impress the crowd that his
price receded to to 1, finally closing at
s to 5.
After getting away first at the start the
favorite was headed into the stretch by
Charles Boots, the second choice, and
Linda Vista fly but drew away at the
finish, winning by two lengths from his
owners nanesake. Charlie Boots. Linda
Vista FLY was fair third.
The Boots stable continued its tri-
umphant career in the following race,
tive-and-a-half-furlon condition event,
with its crack colt Installator, who was a
decidedly warm Z to 10 choice: Royal
Flush. far from his old form, was installed
second choice with threes about him, the
bookmakers, judging by the odds quoted
against Nelson tor the place, holding him
in high esteem.
The race proved a cake-walk for this re-
markably fast youngstef, who took the
lead from the jump and won hands down |
from Nelson in the fast time of 1:0IN. |
Road Runner, so to 1 shot, with C.Weber |
up, finished good third.
The mile and half hurdle race was |
