THE BAY DISTRICT RACES,
ChevaIier'S Poor Riding Loses
a Race for Sport
MCAIlister.
DON CARA WAS OVERLOOKED
The Pleasanton Stables Bernardo
Wins a Handicap In Very
Fast Time.

Among the spectators at the track yesterday
was William Pinkerton, a member OF the noted
Pinkerton De tective Agency of Chicago, who is
an admirer OF the thoroughbred horse.
Joe Naryaez made his temperance in the
saddle yesterday after his long term OF enforced
retirement, riding Rey del Bandidos at 112
pounds in the two-year-old race. Joe showed
the effects of his long let-up. but no doubt will
soon resume his old form.
With two racetraeks in operation the coming
winter, there is apt to be q dearth OF thorough
breds in the racing line, Notwithstanding the
large number OF Eastern owners that have
signified their intention of coming to Califor-
MIA this fall. So thought the California Jockey
Club, for yesterday they RENTED the $3.50 fine
imposed on owner Boots of the EImwood stock
farm. A message to that effect was received
from Thomas H. Williams Jr., now on his way
East, by Louis Lissak, and everything is again
running smoothly at the Bay District.
The public for some time has been fol-
lowing Chevalier's mounts at the track,
but if he puts up few more fowery rides
such as he has ridden the last couple of
days he will soon find himself riding en-
tirely for "Riey." His handling Of Mnl-
berry and Realization on Tuesday was bad
enough, but his Sport McAllister ride yes
yesterday was worse. 1t is fortunate for the
astute colored chap that he stands so high
IN the public estimation, as well as IN the
judges stand.
Sport opened an 8 to favorite for the
fourth race, a five and half f2rlong dash,
and the condescending bookies eagerly
grasped the coin, at the same time giving
the player sort of scrutinizlng look, as
though in doubt as to his mental capacity.
The odds later on drifted back to IL to s.,
Nervosa, Frondeur and Normandie carry
ing the bulk of the money bet.
Getting away second with Sport when
the flag fell, Chevalier at once began TAX
ing him back, although his orders were to
lie in second position to the stretch home.
Nervosa and Frondeur headed the bunch
into the stretch, with Chevalier beginning
to move up from next to last position with
his mount. The two leaders INDUCED in a
drive for an eighth of mile, Nervosa win
ming by a neck, with Sport McAllister a
bang-up third, as fresh as though he had
simply been warmed up quarter. Cheva
lier should have been soundly censured
for the ride, but it passed unnoticed by the
judges
The favorites received brilliant coat of
whitewash, not a solitary one scoring, out
siders and second choices getting all the
money. The attendance was light, and
betting in the big ring was at low ebb.
O'Bee was to 5 chance for the opening
dash of five and half furlongs, but did
not get number. In hard drive Piggott
on the Is to l shot, Hanford, outrode Che
Waller on the second choice, Little Bob,
and won by neck. Regal, a long-priced
outsider, was third. 1t was fine run for
the class of horses starting-1 OH.
Six cheap dogs" that had failed to win
a purse this year started in the second
event at a mile, Auteuil being made to
! favorite Nero, Tuxedo and Leonatus
received some support. Simmered down
TO drive, Tuxedo, Auteuil and Leonatus
INDUCED in head ard head finish, the
former getting the verdict with Auteuil in
the place. The time was slow, :44A.
The fiye-furlong handicap for two-year
olds resulted in the complete downfall OF
the knowing ones. The Love stables pair,
Rev del Bandidos and Edgemount, opened
favorites at to 5, but so much money
poured into the books on Charlie Boots,
who was backed from to l to Is to 5, that
the stable went back in the betting.
When the flag fell, Don Cara, apparently
neglected in the ring with s to against
him, took the lead and was never headed,
winning by two lengths from Veragua,
third. Charlie Boots stumbled almost to
his knees at the first turn, running his
chances.
The all age handicap, another five and
half furlong affair, the last event on the
card, resulted in victory for the
Fleasanton stables gelding Bernardo,
against which as good as to / was at one
time laid. B. G.. Hollys May Mccarthy
ruled favorite at to l throughout the
betting, Bernardo going to the post second
choice with imp. Ivy next in demand.
Hinrichs beat the flag length with the
Australian mare heading the flly into the
stretch, the fayorite second. Coady now
made his run with Bernardo and hooking
up with Ivy the two had hammer and
tongs finish to the wire, Bernardo winning
by q half length. the favorite poor third.
That the brown horss waS in fine fettle was
shown by the fast time, 1:07A.
