The one favorite to win was Don Fulano.
starting at to 5.
Finesse, mite of a thoroughbred, won
the opening race with II to l against him.
Barney Schneider tried to imagine he saw
his Fonso mare Mollie King winning the
mile race, in which Booze went TO the post
TO chance, but the idea seemed so pre-
posterous that he let % to against her go
unnoticed. She won by four lengths.
Boreas, who had been backed by his owner
and the public twice before, stepped in first
with Is to l against him. Jennie Deane
with to 1 against her won the last race in
q drive from Mutineer.
Liberal scratching reduced the size of
the fields greatly, owners having made
their entries on Saturday, not anticipating
rain.
McFarlane starting in the colors of John
Robbins, trainer for Barney Schneider,
went to the post favorite for the five and q
half iurlong maiden race at 8 to 5, having
opened at to !. There was but slight
choice in the betting between Ontario,

Finesse, a very small bit OF horsehesh, was

Fog prevented view Of the horses until
they came up the hill to the stretch, where
McFarlane was leading but firing badly.
Bravura, running second, soon passed him,
but was, in turn, passed by tlnesse, who
won handily by length. Bravura finished
second, half length in front of McFarlane.
Some pretty fair horses entered, to be sold
very cheap, started in the second race, a
six-furlong selling affair. Don Fulano en-
tered for $500 went to the post favorite at
6 to 5. Miss Buckley was second choice.
Joe Cotton, Bernardo and Quarterstaff
were quoted at about the same prices in
the ring, imp. Elise being the outsider.
Imp. Elise got nearly two lengths the
best of the start and led until going down
the second hill, where the Don passed her
holding the lead the balance of the trip
winning by three lengths. Quarterstaf
was an easy second, about the same dis
tance ahead of Miss Buckley.
Barney Schneider missed great oppor-
tunity to fracture the ring in the third
race-a mile run. Booze opened favorite
at 2 to 5, L to 2 finally being obtainable
around post time, a liberal play on Leon
Vile at 21% TO 1 sending his price up.
Warrago was 10 to 1 shot; and Barney S

out in front at such hot clip after the
flag sent them away that they evidently
killed themselves off, for on racing down
the second hill Mollie King, who had been
running third went to the front, and
striking the stretch in the lead won
easily BY four lengths. LeonYille, which
Chorn seemed unable to get to run the
first part OF the race, came fast the last
quarter and beat the favorite out length
Tor the place.
Bookmaker George Roses colt Boreas
tipped over a good thing in the fourth race,
a i've and half furlong spin. Dick Behan
with Carr looked to outclass the company
pitted against him, but starting at Z to he
failed 10 get even a small piece OF the
money. Is to 1 certainly looked very
tempting against Miss Ruth on her last
+ good run and considerable money went
ONO the books on the Sobrante mare.
Nebuchadnezzar was second choice with
threes about him. All of the other starters
had long prices against them Boreas who
opened at to 1, receding IN the betting to
is to 1.
Roses colt showed in front when the flag
fell. Nebuchadnezzar running up into
second place at the foot of the first hill.
Holding the lead all the way he had
Nebuchadnezzar beaten when they came
up the last hill on to the stretch. At this
point LLOYD came frozh the rear with Miss
Ruth and passing Ne6uchadnezzar he
it, being beaten out three quarters of
length. Had he moved for the leader
sooner he would undoubtedly have won.
Nebuehadnezzar finished third.
The bookmakers made Chemuck
favorite for the last race of six furlongs,
but the betting public did not seem to
fancy her chances and began looking
around for something to beat the daughter
of John Happy. Very quickly the money
began going in on Jennie Deane and Val
paTaiso, with an occasional bet on Cur
reney and Ravine. Mutineer, although
ridden by novice, did not run unbacked.
Jennie Deane took the lead as the flag
fell and was never headed, although she
had a narrow escape at the finish. Liver
more on Mutineer, who had been taking
all the mud at the tail end of the bunch,
finally got his mount through after some
unskillful maneuvering and in drive was
beaten out but very short head. Prince
ran third.
