Midas Showed His Competitors
How to Skip Around
the Ring.
MT. AIR WAS A SURPRISE
Nervosa and Gypsette Gelding O
the ElmWOod Stock Farm
Both Won.

Sweet Alice again bled slightly, which I'M
doubtedly contributed to her defeat.
Had Lulu not been interfered with in the
stretch she would probably have beaten Ner-
vOsa
The EImwood stock farm captured the first
two races, both winners being ridden by Bob
Isom.
she showed plenty OF speed in all OF the false
starts.
Atpresent Tommy Lottridge has Rear Guard
in better form than he has ever before shown
in California.
When Contribution is beaten in 1:083l for
the FIVE and half furlongs it is about time the
old fellows dickey legs had rest
Crescendo, the crack two-year-old, is now
Quartered in San Jose, where he will remain
until the string OF Naglee Burke starts East
early in May.
By the handy manner with which Mt. Air
reeled off the short six furlongs in :l3 he
showed himself TO be very much OF coming

tits certainly very hard to keep line on the
horses of the Elmwood stock farm. Were Mr..
Boots betting man the peculiar running OF his
horses would certainly be questioned.
. Jockey Hinriehs was again seen in the saddle
yesterday, having returned from the Los An
geles race meeting, where he did some very
clever work in the saddle Hinrichs had the
mount on Tar and Tartar on the last race, and
. he had not entirely recovered from his journey
on the cars, or else the brown gelding's stable
folks were very badly fooled in him.
shall be no more at the Bay District track,
and its gates are forever closed, prying
humanity viii probably search through
the different buildings and club-houses
and may discover the remains of
some departed dead, that not a struggling
fragment of a pool ticket nor a book
makers dust-begrimed sheet would aid
the Coroner revealing their Identification.
do not refer in particular to the racing
yesterday, although in fact it was hard as
usual, and might be called tough, but all
In all it is getting to be racing that is hard
to beat. 1t is a question whether long
continued race meetings of the duration
OF the present one are prolific of prosperity
to the average race-goer. 1 think not.
Yesterday was the one hundred and fiftieth
i
whether most of them that passed out of
the gates after the last race had one dollar
and fifty cents in their pockets-that is,
. those that put up that very essential ar
ticle, the American silver dollar, to enter
therein.
Whenever jockeys are in great demand
for consultations in regard to who viii win
the race, it is pretty sure indication that
form is at a discount. And Yesterday
noticed that at last, Little Pete, the Chinese
plunger, has had to come TO it, for 1 saw
him in earnest conversation with one of
the knights Of the pigskin very close to the
noted end stall in the saddIing paddock.
A brief review Of the races yesterday
points to the fact that but one favorite out
of the six won, and that one was fortunate
in having but two horses to contest
against.
The fields in the different events were
small, the time was good, and the band
played It's usual selections for the benefit of
the scantily filed balconies.
Alter cutting up his customary wicked
prantics at the post in the opening race,
six-furlOng spin, Nelson, the s to 5faYorite,
finally got away last. He made fine run
through his field, but the effort was too
much for him, and in drive through the
stretch Ghe one-eyed horse was beaten by
both Neryosa and Lulu. the former get
ting the decision by a neck.
Getting away IN front, in the tWo-year
old run, a four and halffurlong jaunt, the
Gypsette gelding, with 7 to against him,
led all the way and won by half length
from Joan. Ida H, a daughter of Ben Ali,
was good third, this being her maiden
effort.
p The to 5 favorite Midas, carrying but
% pounds, made Nebuchadnezzar and An |
nette, the only other starters, think they
had forgotten how TO run in the first mile
race, for he passed them nearing the half
and won, romping in 1:414. Nebuchad- |
peZzar was second.
If she doesn't bleed she will walk in. "
they said about Sweet Alice. who opened
fayorfte for the fourth race Many thought !
she would again be troubled with her old |
failing and put their coin on Nellie G., send- |
Ing; her TO the post equal favorite with |
Nellie @.
Well, Sweet Alice bled. but the Joker
had been overlooked, for Mt Air, with |
Is. and 20 to 1 against him, trailed the |
sweet thing to the stretch and then went |
on and won easily, running the short six |
fuFlougs in lib. Sweet Alice lasted long |
enough to beat Nellie g a length for the !
place.
Gid Contribution, the II to 10 favorite for |
the fifth race, FIVE and a half furlong dash, |
had TO make way for younger blood. |
Mollie R, the 9 to second choice, raced |
out in front with the aged and crippled |
Splinter, and downed him handily, win |
ming by length. O'Bee, who was strongly |
backed, was fair third.
According to rumor the horse that de- |
feated Tar and Tartar in the last race
would have to step lively, yet he was
beaten block in :41sl. Tar and Tartar |
was to 5 favorite at post time, with |
Hlnrichs up. Rear Guard, the heavily |
backed second horse, led all the way and |
won by five lengths. Tar and Tartar fin |
lshed IN front of Brodhead for the place. |
fossloly Tar and TartaT's next perform
ance may show whether the stable had |
cause for appointment. MUIHoLLAHD.
