THE BAY DISTRICT RACES,
Tar and Tartar Downs Morven
in an Exciting Nose-and-
Nose Finish.
TIM MURPHY is BEATEN.
Royal Flush Not Equal to Bruising
Finish, and Succumbed to
Red Glenn.

While owned by W. OBJ. Macdonough but
wo mares were bred to Sinfax, the stockily
,uilt Veragua beng one of the get.
Nick Hall cashed good bunch of tickets
over the win of Tar and Tartar, but dumped a
good sized portion of his winnings back into
he books by Tin. Murphys defeat.
Ed. Purser backed his horse Red Glenn
heavily around the ring, and it was fortunate
hat the flag fell to a struggling start, for with
4 better seIi,iuff Del Norte would have landed
;he money.
Among the string that will shortly sport By
Hollys Glenn coiors will be Melanie, Florence
0ickey, q two-year-old by Montana out of
susilades Last, and possibly El Rayo, who 1t
thought will again stand training.
The clever lightweight rider Charley Weber.
aas returned TO California, having asked for
,is release from the Santa Anita stable, and
ode his first race on Spry Lark in the two.year
bid event. He was unfortunate in getting
lway last of the bunch, but finished good
fourth.
Walt Vivell, very capable trainer, formerly
n the employ of A. B. Spreckels, arrived from
Chicago last evening. With him came F. Jack
on, a lightweight jockey who has been riding
At RoDy with more than ordinary success, and
S said to be as honest as he is clever in the
jaddle.
There is very little disposition among the
Eastern horsemen sojourning here to shake the
slorious dust of California from their feet, in
iew of the present unsettled condition of rae
ing affairs in the East. Arthur White, of White
: Clarke, says he is well satisfied to remain
here, and many others who contem plated
4rossing the mountains will undoubtedly
finger q while longer.
The weeks racing was ushered in with
select but rather light racing card, the
combined number of starters in the last
three events numbering but thirteen.
Spectators had a fairly successful day of
t, the racing being free from any startling
-eversals of form or muscular exhibitions
ST jockeyship. Three first choices, a sec
ond choicer and one outsider were success
ul in pulling down purses.
One of the severest jars the talent re-
s,eived during the day occurred in the
Fourth race, a short six-furlong sprint.
With but three to oppose him the old roam
sprinter, Tim Murphy, was a warm 1 to 2
avorite, although later in the betting to
was obtainable. Annette was second
Choice, with Manteil, the third horse, in
demand.
Tim was visbly not himself, for Annette
ed him the entire distance and won easily
by two lengths. So badly did Tim tire the
. ast fifty yards that Mantell, under persua-
sion, nipped the place from him by
head.
The opening race, cheap selling event,
over the short six-furlong course, was taken
oy the s TO 5 favorite Rose Clark, with
idinrlchs up, who led all the way. Lin
vile, the third choice, was good second.
and Olivia third.
II The kindergarten race was the source of
much guesswork. Spry Lark. 1nstigator,
Teragua, Walter J and Cardwell all re-
+ :eived substantial backing, the first-named
inally closing favorite at II to 5.
f Away second when the flag fell, Veragua,
ridden by Shaw, took the lead and held it
throughout, winning handily from Card
veil by three parts of length. Walter ],
The second'choice, wound up in third place.
The third race, a six-furlong gallop over
the scenic route, up and down hill, fur
pished the prettest finish of the day. Nick
Halls Tar and Tartar was again favorite,
to being the ruling price. Miss Ruth,
Tlth twos about her, was second choice,
srith Morven third call in the betting at
4 to 2.
b When the flag fell Hinrichs was first away
and leading the entire distance he looked
"moraP' when he struck the fat stretch
20 the wire. Sloane working hard on the
ayorite managed to draw mp nearly on
even terms with the leader, and the two
ndulged in the hottest kind of drive to
he wire. The last Jump Tar and Tartar
managed to poke his head in front and
gained the verdict. Miss Ruth finished
hird.
The last race, a mile, selling affair, also
ended in rather close finish. After open
ng in the betting at even money, Royal
Flush went back to to 5, at which figure
Red Glenn also closed, backed down from
? TO /. Del Norte with Paget up had many
trends at to l.
The race was marred by poor sendoff,
Del Norte and Roma getting much the
worst of the breakaway. Weber sailed out
n front with Royal Flush, followed by
Red Glenn, and this was the order until
urlong from home when Red Glenn had
Royal Flush in difficulties. Despite Web
FRS hard riding on the "dickey legged"
son of Three Cheers, Red Glenn beat him
put very handily by long neck. Roma
was third. Del Norte came like fash on
.he outside at the finish, and many thought
ne had won. MULHoLLAND.
