The BAY DISTRICT RACES,
Red Dick Proved a Good Thing
in the Last Race of
the Day.
BACKED DOWN FROM IL TO l.
Through Superior Jockeyship Hin
richs Landed Gold Bug VIM
ner in a Drive.

Piggott rode the winners OF the first two
events, and was second in two of the following
races.
Walter J, the good-looking son of that prora-
Using sire imp. True Briton ran remarkably
fine race from where he got off. Away in the
first flight he could hardly have lost.
A rumor was in circulation yesterday at the
track that the meeting would close down for q
while owing to a lack of entries, but lacks con-
frmation. There is some talk, however, OF re-
turning to the old regime; racing but five days
a week.
After Gold Bug had won the fourth heat
Billy Beverly, the bookmaker, rushed down to
the stand intending to bid up the Splinter,
who belongs to an aged owner with but little
means. Wyatt carp held short consultation
with Mr.. Beverly, and the bookmaker returned
to the ring without carrying out his intention.
About three years ago old Guadalupe,
to whom taking the sticks was then for
eign, was what is known in turf parlance
''good thing" in five-furlong dash run
in the mud over the Bay District track.
Opening in the betting at 40 to /, he was
backed down to to at post time and won
in a gallop. His owner, G. W. Chappell,
was several days cashing his numerous
winning tickets. Since that time until
yesterday Mr. Chappell has done nothing
to startle the turf world. In the last event
on the card, cheap five-furlong dash, he
had entered the Montana short-horse Red
Dick, whom he has been reserving for a
soft spot. Opening at twelves, rapid
transit play knocked his price down to
threes, quicker than it takes time to tell.
The horse from the land of record breaking
half breeds won by an eyebrow at the wire,
after having at one time a lead OF nearly
eight lengt his over his field, and the folks
that had the right thing" cashed their
tickets. The ring was not hit as hard as it
might have been, for very few Of the pen
oilers at present doing business at the
track will take over $50 bet on horse
unless he "hears something" from his out
side man.
The attendance of which there has been
a noticeable falling off of late. was light
and a poor lot of entries furnished an un-
exciting days sport.
In the opening event O'Bee, the to 5
fayorite, ran over the top OF the three
dogs in against him, finishing the five
and half furlongs in :0812. Ike l. was q
handy second over My Charm.
Starter Ferguson experienced much
away that lined up in the two-year-old
event at half mile. When the flag finally
fell the to favorite, Clara Johnson,
showed in front followed by the Gladette
gelding and Britannia. The result was
probleniatical as they turned into the
stretch, Lady Leinster FLY, Don Pedro,
the Linda Vista filly and Walter J show
ing prominently in the front rank. Well
on toward home the Linda Vista FLY
shook her field off and won by length
from Walter ] in 501I seconds. Don Pedro
was a good third. The winner went to the
post at 5 to 1. The favorite fell out of the
race soon after the start.
Heavily backed at 6 to and II to 10
Normandie was considered certainty for
the third race, mile run, but the best she
could do was TO finish second to Miss Gar
vim the, 5 TO second choice, who took the
lead from Greenback Jr. before entering
the stretch and won easily in :42s. Clau-
dius was a good third.
The only race to cause hutter of ex-
element was the finish in the fourth, a
five-furlong sprint. Everything in the race
outside of Banjo and Tillie S. who were a
drug on the market, received support At
post time Lady Jane, whose price had re-
ceded in the betting, had slight call over
Myron with 3H to l against him. Gold
Bug and Sir Richard were found next in
the order named.
Myron took the lead soon after they
were dispatched and appeared to have the
race up his sleeve as he entered the stretch
with an open lead of two lengths over Lady
Jane. Title S, who was here second, fell
out of it and Sir Richard and Gold Bug
started after the leaders. After somewhat
of a humping match the last hundred
yards, Hinrchs, by good riding, got Gold
Bug past the wire by a close margin, finish
ing a head in front of Sir Richard, with
Myron next the rail close third: The
Judges disqualified Sir Richard for the
place, which gave Myron second money
and Lady Jane third.
The to l fayorite, Tuxedo, finished sec
ond to Req Dick in the last race, although
catching the lastly dying sprinter at every
Jump. Wild Rose was third.
