SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept 5.-This,
the fourth day of the meeting, was given
up to the bangtails, and lovers of the
sport turned out in large numbers. For
the first time since the opening day the
fair sex graced the meeting with their
presence-that is, to any extent-attracted
by the gaudy colors and the dapper, dash
ing jockeys. The grand stand was a
bower of wealth and loneliness.
The day was warm, and in the betting
ring there was an eager, sweltering mass
of speculative humanity, hustling and
busting each other in an endeavor to
"get aboard" at top prices. Five books
were doing business, and the betting
was by far the heaviest of the meeting,
and the smiling bookies came out on top
to-day, for three of the five favorites fell
ANONYMOUSLY.
Richard Havey handled the starters
flag and barring a couple of tedious delays
at the post, caused by over-an1ious jock
eys, nothing but praise can be said of his
work. "Dan" Tully was his assistant,
and he showed himself an adept at the
game.
The feature of the days programme was
the Capital City stake, worth $1045 to the
winner, one and a sixteenth miles. 1t was
captured by imp. Midlothian's bravest
running daughter Annette, who went to
the post at to 1, who laid away second to
Installator, the to 5 favorite, who went
out and made the running until the last
furlong, when she passed him and won at
the end OF length from the second choice,
Ferrier, who nipped Installator half a
length for the place, under Miller's per-
suasive riding.
The time made by the winner, :46A,
supersedes Del Norte's coast record of 1 AT,
made at the Bay District track. Felrier
was favorite in the opening betting at to
8, but receded to twos around post time.
1nstallator was slightly cut down, which
undoubtedly mitigated against his chances.
Although Donathan's mare ran a re-
markable race on all sides tonight nothing
is heard but Libertine and Macklin. his
colored rider. The great Western sprinter
made his California debut to-day in six
furlong handicap, and in the fancys mind
the Del Mar stake has already been
changed to the Libertine stake. Opening
at even money he receded in the betting
to 212 to l, but was soon swiped to l to at
post call.
Gaudiiy bedecked with red, white and
blue ribbons the crack miller, with a rec
ord of 1:38A, danced around at the post
thirty minutes with his 122 pounds up be-
fore the flag fell, when he sailed to the
front, and running Grady off his feet the
first part of it was tackled by Vinctor in
the stretch. 1t looked dubious for him at
one time, but when Macklin shook him
up with that hurricane style of his he
drew away and won by length in 1:13%.
Roadrunner, who ran a very creditable
race with s to l against him, was third
Rico was a 3 to favorite for the opening
dash at six furlongs, but through McIn-
tyres dllatory tactics was beaten head
on the wire. The two roam brothers, Pat
and Tim Murphy, the latter second choice,
headed the field into the stretch, where
Pat retired. Tim was Joined later by War
rago, Rico and Lady Jane, and the quar-
tet passed the judges heads apart. Lady
Jane, to L chance, gained the verdict,
with Rico iii the place and Warrago third.
The second race, selling sweepstakes
for maiden two-year-olds, six furlongs,
offered an opportunity for the Mercedes
flly, a gracefully nodded daughter of the
Australian sire Idalium, to show her dainty
heels to company. Going TO the post to 1,
with the well-known red, white and blue
colors Of A. B. Spreckels up, she led the
way and won easily, three lengths in front |
OF lei Primero. The even. money favorite, |
Torsion, finished absolutely last, with |
Dnnahue in the saddle
The last race of the day, cheap mile
selling dash, resulted in the overthrow of
the 2 to 5 favorite, Rear Guard. Nebu-
chadnezzar, with 5 to L against him, won
easily, running the mile in AN while in
a hard drive Ike L, heavily backed, downed
the favorite for the place.
