Hinrichs on the even-money favorite Ran
som, managed to get cut off rounding the far
turn. He came fast at the finish, but his back
ers cashed no tickets. The judges questioned
Hinrichs, and his explanation proved salts
factory.
Frank Taylor, the well-known trainer, re-
ceived telegram from his partner, Sam Hill
dreth, who has been training Z. j. Baldwin's
Santa Anita string. saying he had resigned his
position and would leave for California Satur-
day, the Goth inst.
well-known California sporting man at
present located in Chicago, writing to friend
in this City, states that the new race tracks
that have sprung up with a mushroom-like
growth in the vicinity OF the Windy City are
mere "blinds' for the running of the foreign
book. From 5000 to 5000 people are in at
tendance every day, but he says the racing is
farce. Jobbery is rampant, everything is
overlooked by the officials in the stand, and
any one from tramp to cook can get a
mount if he can sit horse.
AS anticipated the mile and sixteen tn
handicap at the track yesterday resulted in
a horserace, and came very nearly develop

Weber's gelding, but went back until to

place honors in the ring, while another

! When the flag fell Eddie Jones, who had
| the mount on Mamie Scott, took the mare
out in front. opening up gap of three or

second place. had enough when the stretch
was reached. At this point Claudins was
in fifth place and Sloan urging the big

! issue was seen to lie between Claudius,
Little Cripple and the light-weig GIFTED
mare who was still leading. Until the last
twenty yards victory looked to be with the
latter, but under Sloan's persuasive riding
Claudius came laundering on with that
| phenomenal burst of speed and snatched
the race on the wire by a head. Honest
plodding but unfortunate Little Cripple
was bang-up third, a neck away. The
winner equaled Del Norte's track record
of l AT for the distance.
The racing throughout the day was good
week. 1t was a day for outsiders in the
betting, for Dorsey was the only success
full first choice.
One of the shiftiest maidens uncorked in
some time bobbed up in the opening race,
five-furlong dash. Dorsey, backed from
4 to 2, was the horse in question, and he
appears afflicted with speed, for he made
the field pitted against him look like cattle
and won galloping from Irma in :01H.
After opening in the betting at threes

the way in the second race at eleven-six
teenths with light welter-welghts up, win
ming by three lengths from Crawford, who
finished a nose in front OF the IL to
favorite, Rey Alta.
Mainstay was backed at even money and
to to win the five and a half furlong
handicap, but Blue Bell, at one time as
good as 90 to l. with post odds OF IL to
against her chances, got the best of 6
miserable start, and, leading the entire

third and the favorite fourth.
the Eastern horse, Ransom, was ar
even-money chance for the last race, {
mile dash, but failed to get piece of the
money. The Duchess of Milpitas, secont
choice in the ring, led all the way and wor
by length from Olivia in 1:41H.
