W. OBJ Marlborough played in good chunk
of money on Charles A.
Coffey is doing some good riding. He rode
well-timed race on Gold Bug.
Ed Purser backed the consistent Quirt, get
ting good as 10 to for some of his money.
Nelson, the to favorite for the fourth
race, wes in some manner struck in his good
eye while at the post, and when the field was
finally sent away sulked the first furlong, and
his rider. thinking he had broken down, pulled
him up.
William hurry, the owner and trainer of the
Lone stable, was fined 500 by the stewards
yesterday for striking a stable-boy to whom he
owed So for services rendered. The lad &C
costed owner hurry in the betting ring and
insisted on getting his money with the result
stated. The boy now has the money.
The get of imp. True Briton are certainly
making great showing, and the black horse
is one of the coming sires of the State. In the
two-year-old race yesterday the favorite, Her
Majesty, ran the fastest four and half fur
longs yet run by two-year-old at the meeting
and Zeta, another daughter of his, finished
third in the same race at her maiden essay
after getting none the best of poor start.
The California Jockey Club has decided
to continue the present race meeting in
definitely, running all through the sum-
mer months, with the exception of the
two weeks during the State Fair.
At the conclusion of the last race yester-
day, the stewards of the Jockey Club held
a spirited meeting, to inquire into the
charge of completely in the alleged "dop-
ing" of the Ledette FLY, preferred against
the owner, Denny Lynch of the Arizona
stable. Mr.. Lynch was on hand promptly,
counting an investigation, and stated that
he had no hand in the matter whatever,
and that circumstances would prove such
to be the case,
Mr.. Lynch's side of the story was heard,
and the colored boy Cuba again told his
story, which was substantially the same
as told before. Some stable employees were
also called and questioned in regard to GER
tain facts in the case, but further than this
very little was accomplished. The investi-
cation will be resumed to-day.
Notwithstanding the threatening condi-
ton of the weather the attendance was
good and the betting was lively. Favorites,
as usual, had a rough time of it, but two
out of six managing to finish in front.
After the third race the rain made the
track trihe heavy.
The downfall of the first choices began
with the opening race, when Laurel, a
3 to 1 chance, and Outright, the 6 to 5
favorite, raced together to the head of the
stretch, where the favorite began stop
ping. Laurel then went on and won clev-
erly from Tamalpais. Little Tough fin
ished in third place. 1t was poor run, the
five and half furlongs being completed in
1:10.
Her Majesty opened a to / favorite for
the four and half furlong race for two
year-olds, closing at to 5. She got fly
ing start on the field, and was never
headed, winning by length from Ida II,
an s to ! choice. Zeta finished third.
The six-furlOng handicap was an extra
lively betting affair. Charles A was played
as though the race was over, going to the
post at IL to 5. With 7. Smith up, Quirt
was overlooked by most bettors, and as
good as 10 to 1 was at one time obtainable.
Annette was second choice, with Mollie r
a consistent third choice.
When the flag fell Quirt went to the
front and was never headed, winning
easily by three lengths from the hard-rid-
den favorite Charles A. Annette was a
rather distant third.
A cheap lot of platers went to the post
for the fourth race, a five and half fur
long spin. Nelson was apparently the best

on the card, was taken by the 3 to l favor

who beat Nellie G head for second place.
Jack Richelieu and Realization came to-
gether in the last race, short six-furlong
run, and the betting was sharp. Once Is
to 10, Jack Richelieu closed in the betting
10 to 20. Realization was to l at post
time. Arctic and Miss Ruth also started.
Realization jumped to the front, with
Jack Richelieu at his heels, and they ran
that way until an eighth from home, when
Carr began riding the favorite. He rode
him desperately, but could not overtake
the California stables mudlark and was
beaten head. Miss Ruth was distant
third, ten lengths away. MULHoLLAND.
