GOOD THINGS WENT WRONG AND
THE PLUNGERS HAD ANOTHER
ROUGH DAY.
WHITESTONE BEAT HIS FIELD
BOTH OF THE FIRST CHOICES IN THE
STEEPLECHASE DUMPED THEIR
RIDERS.

to be the rule now, was run of yesterday
to fair sized crowd. 1t was a very spicy
DAYS racing, replete with rumors, bad
rides and tumbIes. 1t was a day of in
shoots and twisters, and the plungerS had
hard day of it. Pittsburg Phil remarked,
after the last race, that the days sport had
cost him $1,000, and 1 don't think Riley
Grammar was far behind him.
The bidding upon the selling races was
continued yesterday. In the fourth race
imp. Yigcr, running in the colors Of George
Covington, went to the post heavily
backed to favorite and won easily.
Entered for 500 the colt was run up to
$500 by Nose Gunst. 1t seems very strange
that when the other horsemen that had
entries in the race were satisfied at there
suit that man who it Is said is interested
heavily in financial sense in the doings
of the Jockey Club should run horses up,
unless the funds are getting low. 1t seems
as though the general cut In salaries, even
TO those acting in official capacities, would
have helped this out, and it certainly will
not tend to popularize the track with
racing owners.
The easy win of Road Runner in the
opening event over the short six-furlong
course was but calm before the storm.
Raphael, backed from to 4, finishing
a light welter-Welght run at five fur
longs proved the most elegant morsel the
touts had encountered in a month. ANY
thing in looked TO have a chance, and
every "crab" in it was backed. Robin
Hood II was favorite, going to the post II
TO 3, but he never knew he was in it..
Pittsburg Phil and Grammar both PLAYED
Terra Nova, and after the race Bill Muir
rays face was nearly as long as his bank
account. Kathleen led all the way, and
won by head from Terra Nova, Warrago
length further away.
SympaJhetic's Last went to the post
favorite for the third race at six furlongs
and if Moose" Taylor, who owns and
rode him, was trying, he has forgotten
how. Taking the worst of the break, he
was never in it. But this was not the
only elegant exhibition of horsemanship
in the race.
Another with more variegated colors was
that OF Jerry Chorn on Bookmaker Rose 5
horse Boreas.
Hiram Argo, Barney Schreiber's horse,
made the running to the stretch, where the
Duchess of Milpitas took it up, followed by
Boreas. a hundred yards from the wire
Wheel OF Fortune came along and beat
them both out easily. And Boreas he fin
ished third, probably because he was too
lar ahead to finish fourth. Chorn "flew de
coop" for Memphis yesterday afternoon.
Probably it was lucky for him that he did.
The fourth race, another light welter-
weight thing at five furlongs, was taken by
imp. Nlgor, who won in walk. Joe Cot
ton secured the place from Harry Lewis.
The steeplechase was a farce comedy in
one act, replete with funny falls. Three
Forks opened favorite, but it was rumored
that the Bay District Undertakers' Asso.
citation had embalmed him, and his price
steadily advanced until anything you asked
for you got. Anywhere from 3. to 10 to ]
was laid against him. The good money
went in on The Lark, cutting his price
from threes to to 5.
Three Forks went out in front, opening g
biggap. Going over the third Jump The Lark
fell and that money was burnt up. After
taking the sixth jump Three Forks STUN
bled, giving Clancy bad fall, and that set
tied the second choice. Relampago, a l.
10 l chance, then went on and won easily
April finished second and Haymarket third
As far as betting was concerned the las
race, seven-furlong affair, was one of the
hottest at the meeting. Grammar and Pitts
burg Phil plunged Realization, bringing hi!
price down from threes to 9to5. Whitestont
was firm throughout at 2 to l and carried
Dave.Gideon's money.
The price against Jack Richelieu, to /
seemed very long, as well as 20 to 1 against
Royal Flush, considering their weights.
The ight-weighted O'Bee made the run
ming 10 the far turn, where Jack Richelier
Aeducu ulII1, entering the SIretCQ QrSt, fOI
lowed by Royal Flush. The latter assumed
command in the stretch and led until q
few yards from the wire, where White
stone came along and nipped him out by a
neck. Rear Guard was third, but neck
further away. Realization finished next
TO last
Regret was expressed on all sides among
the horsemen at the death ofl the young
jockey, Robert Kinnie, who died Monday
night at the Sanitarium on Eddy street
where he had been removed. In all prob
ability the Jockey Club will set aside q
day, the proceeds of which will be given Il
the family OF the young rider, of which he
was the main support. MULHoLLAND.
