THE BAY DISTRICT RACES
InstalIator Finished Ahead of
Both Charmion and
Thornhill.
THE FAvORITEs ALL BEATEN.
Little Cripple Proved too Much for
Tar and Tartar, Downing Him
CIeVerly.

Firebrand is q brother to Torchbearer, Tor
merly known as the Ariola colt.
Imp. Calphurnus acted like horse that had
Joined the artillery, although his owner was
emphatic in q denial of the assertion.
Johnny Coleman waited until the price
against Won Dunk reached % to 1, and then
took chance on him. He finished in the ruck.
Nick Hall said he bet 500 on his horse Tar
and Tartar and as "saver" placed $500 on
Don Caesar.
The foal by Ormonde out of imp. Get
away is reported to be afflicted with badly
swollen hind leg, the supposition being that il
was caused by being stepped upon by his ma
ternal parent. This would be great misfor-
tune for Mr.. Marlborough were the injury 10
prove permanent.
Owing no doubt TO the scarcity of good rid
ing material the stewards of the California
Jockey Club decided yesterday TO allow Joe
Narvaez TO again don the colors after an en-
forced retirement of something like two years,
when he was suspended for life. This long
spell of iCleness, though very expensive,
should have proved lasting benefit 10 Joe,
who was ar that time considered the cleverest
pilot in California. He is young and there is
yet time for him to redeem himself and regain
his lost prestige. His reinstatement meets
with the general approval of race-goers.
The cold disagreeable weather had a
depressing effect on the attendance at the
racetrack yesterday, very few outside OF
the regulars" passing through the turn
stiles.
1t was hard day for the talent, one
favorite after another being tumb led over
The money all went to second and third
choices, and in one instance to a backed
good thing" Ichi Ban.
The interest of the day was centered in
the third race on the card, seven-furlong
run, bringing together Thornhill, Char
mon and Installator, the only starters
The first-named horse, who has been
shelved since his disappointing per
Torrance several weeks ago, went to the
post favorite at to 5. Charmion, who
opened at even money, receded to TO 2
third choice, Installator having the call
over her.
Amid ordinations of "He'n stop" In
stal.ator went out in front at merry clip
with Charmion and the bald face trailing a
couple of lengths behind. He didn't stop,
however, but kept on widening the gap,
winning at the end by four lengths from
Charmion without effort. Thornhill
sulked before the turn into the stretch was
reached and was beaten away off.
Eight maiden two-year-olds lined up in
q
longs, Firebrand, backed from threes to 10
to 5, going to the post favorite. Of the
others Pansy undoubtedly carried the most
coin, closing at Z to =. Elsie, the Burns e.
Waterhouse entry, was backed down q
couple OF points from s to i.
Coady on Don Pedro got away from the
post first, leading until the wire was get
ting dangerously close, when he tired, and
Pansy came out OF the bunch and won
easily by two lengths. The Little Flush
flly was second. length in front of Don
Pedro.
A six and half furlong run for equines
Of the ''crab" species furnished some rare
good guessing. Dolly NJ, Sheridan, Tux
edo and imp. Calphurnus all received more
or less support, the only plunge in the ring
being made on Ichi Ban, backed from 8
and 10 TO 1 down"to tours.
Leonatus 10 to l shot, led the field
until well Strengthened for home, when
Ichi Ban came on and won as he liked in
1:23, a very fairish run. Leonatus dis
posed of Sheridan handily for the place.
The talent received another twister in
the fourth race, a mile and seventy-yard
selling affair. Tar and Tartar was con-
sidered such "pipe" that to 10 was like
finding money. Little Cripple was SUBJ
stantially supported at to 2, but the
was Don Cesar, and big bundle of wise
money went in on him at odds ranging
from to to 1.
This latter horse took the lead when the
flag fell, and his chances as he galloped in
front looked very bright until the stretch
for the wire was reached, where he closed
up like an umbrella, and the favorite took
the lead. Coming from the rear where he
had been trailing all the journey Little
Cripple hitched up with the Tar a furlong
from home, and in a mild sort of drive
beat him out three parts OF a length.
Road Runner was third, about three
lengths away.
The last race of the day, five and a
half furlong run over the inside course
was gathered in very cleverly by the Julia
Martin f1lly, the second choice, after the
two-year-old favorite Edgemount had led
10 the stretch. Crawford was a fair third
behind the first choice. MULHoLLAND.
