THE BAY DISTRICT RACES.
MAMIE SCOTT SET A NEW MARK
AT SEVEN AND A HALF
FURLONGS.
MISS FLETCHER DISQUALIFIED.
NELSON Won DRIVING, BUT WAS
PLACED LAST FOR FOULING
CLACQUER.
MISS FLETCHER DISQUALIFIED.

Mt Roy was backed down from IL to 5. He
very good race the first time out.
Last Chance now runs in the colors of the
Oakland stable. Daggie Smith appears to be
very handy sort OF a trainer around cripples.
Toby ran a greatly improved race over the
time he was favorite when ridden by Tod Sloan
days back. No one ever supposed Mcintyre
to be so many pounds better than Tod in the
saddle.
The fouling of Clacquer.by Nelson was most
palpable, and before the decision disqualifying
Nelson was announced Hugh Jones marked up
even money against the one-eyed cripple and
took in over 5000. Nelson was placed last, and
Mr. Jones quit little winner on the race.
Outside of two disqualifcations for foul
riding, the principal incident of the racing
yesterday was the excellent run made by
Mamie Scott in the fourth race, seven
and half furlong dash. Backed down
from 10 to 4, she picked up her ninety
pounds, and assuming the lead after fur
long had been traversed she galloped in an
easy winner, five lengths before Toby, in
:331l Ia new record for the distance, the
previous mark of :3414 being held by imp.
Elise, made at Washington Park, Chicago,
two years ago. The distance is one that
does not find a place on the programmes
of the Eastern tracks frequently, or
would undoubtedly have been clipped be-
fore.
The only two favorites to win were Clac-
quer and Rose Clark, although the win
ners of the other three events carried
nearly as much coin on their chances as
the first choices.
Miss Fletcher went to the post at 3 to 2
favOrite for the opening, ran at five and a
half furlongs, and after finishing second to
Last Chance, a to l shot in the betting,
she was disqualified for fouling Mount
Rov, the third horse in the stretch, and
placed last, the latter horse getting the
! place and De Grout securing third money.
There was another case of fouling in the
| following run, five and a half furIong
dash. Ciacquer was backed down from 21a
[ to to evens to win, and turning into the
stretch second to Nelson, the second
choice, was pinched up against the rail all
the way to the wire by Hennessy on the
latter horse and beaten out short nose.
| The Judges promptly disqualified Nelson,
giving the race to Clacquer. This gave
the place TO Roadrunner and the show to
| Kathleen.
The third race for two-year-olds, five and
half furlongs, resulted in the defeat Of
the favorite, Redington, that went to the
post to 5. Turning into the stretch sec
ond to Encino the race looked at his
mercyy but when challenged by Treachery,
the heavily played second choice. Donahue
went to the ''bat" and in hard drive was
beaten out length in :O7H. Scimitar, a
100 to / shot, was fair third.
The last race of the day was gallop for
the even-money favorite. Rose Clark. who
led all the way and won easily by length
from Silver in AK.
