Ed Purser laid top price against Joe Cotton
and laid against the gelding heavily. As he
played Sir Walter on the outside he Jared
badly on the race.
In yesterdays race Johnny Weber showed
that he had not forgotten how to get away
from the post. He was in front on Inkerman
when the bunting fell.
The Isom boys were set down yesterday
Colonel Jack Chinn, to whom they are under
contract telegraphed to the boys to come East,
but they have been very dilatory in respond
ing. They will in all likelihood leave tonight
with Barney Schrieber's clever jockey Felix
Carr.
The attendance at the track yesterday
was an improvement over Mondays crowd,
although the card offered race-goers was
tar from being as good one as that of the
day preceding. The favorites met with
their customary success, but two, Joe Cot
ton and Royal Flush, landing the coin.
The crash began with the opening race,
half-mile dash for maiden two-year-olds.
The Cyrus FLY Nevere went to the post an
to first choice, but failed to get any
portion of the money, Tiny, to 1 shot,

Lady Gray, who was a head in front of
Cardwell.
Tips on the second event on the card were
drug on the market, 1t was six-furlong
run with eleven starters, and Don Cesar
was installed IL to favorite. Norblieh,
Favory, Raindrop and Nellie G were all
touted.
When the flag fell to rather scrambling
start Del Norte was next to last, but made
q fine run through the bunch and won by
three parts of a length from Norblieh, who
looked a certain winner at the drawgate
The favorite was fair third. As good as
10 to / was obtainable against the winner
fed and Warrago placed third.
The Gypsette gelding, with 81 pounds
up, was looked upon as a moral for the
third race on the card, a light welter-
weight run, short six furlongs. He was
backed from twos to s to 5. 1t was as
good thing as it looked but for the care
lessness of Bob Isom, who had the mount
on the gelding. Leading into the stretch,
apparently holding the others safe, he al
lowed Sloane on Silver to catch him nap
ping and was beaten out short head at
the wire. Inkerman was a good third,
carrying top weight.
AS novelty the fourth event, six-fur-
long spin, was run over the inside billy
course. From even money Joe Cotton was
backed down to to 5, but toward post
time to 5 was obtainable. Big things
were expected CT Talbot Clifton, but he
was unable to last after leading the greater
part of the race. The favorite, Joe Cotton,
won at the end by half length in drive
from Sir Walter. Charmer secured third
place by head from Talbot Clifton.
With but 105 pounds in the saddle, the
very good price of even money was at enc
time in the betting laid against Royal
Flush, favorite for the mile run. Claudius,
Mary S and Centurion were all backed to
defeat the favorite.
After lying in third place until nearing
the stretch, the favorite took the lead and
won in a canter, three lengths in front of
Claudius. Centurion was third, half
length away.
The True Briton FLY Zeta was made
to 5 favorite for the last race of the day,
another haIf-mile dash for maiden two
year-olds. Entering the stretch in front,
she was easily beaten by Monitor, to l
chance in the ring, who finished on the
outside. Senator Mahoney, well supported
at Is to 1, ran good race, winding up in
third place. MULHoLLAND.
