terday. There were various reasons why
they should have been, the principal one
being that five of the six favorites went
out and got the coin. The win of Contri-
button in the last race proved rather ex-
pensive for Denny Lynch, the trainer and
part owner of the Arizona stable, for the
old Splinter entered to be sold for $500, was
bid up 500 over his entered selling price
by Bookmaker Walter. 1t seemed pretty
rough on Denny, whose horses have run
very consistently at the meeting, but diff
ferent people have different ideas of how
horses should run, and the st. Louis
bookie probably had his--and let it 90 at
that.
falry stakes for two-year-old tillies, worth
500 TO the winner. This race proved the
only upset of the afternoon.
Elsie Ferguson, the Kentucky stable
Longheld tllly was the sweet morsel in the
race opening an even money favorite.
Later IN the betting when Riley Grammar
and some OF the other heavy bettors threw
their money IN on Marionette, the price
against the favorite went back to Z to 3,
To save the money they had bet on the
second choice, Grammar and Pittsburg Phil
later put saver on Suffrage. The
shrewd Flosden horseman, BY Holly. put
his money on Tennessee Maid with II to

efforts. the second choice, Marionette get

At the half Suffrage was leading a length,

Carr had been nursing his mount, and an
eighth from the wire Tennessee Maid put
IN her bid for the money. 1t was success
ful, for she passed the favorite and won
comfortably by length. Pansy finished
IN third place.
The winner, Tennessee Maid. is a we'll

st. Simeon, by Peter, one of the fastest but
at the same time the most erratic son of the
great Hermit. Her dam, Tennessee a
roam mare. was sired by Littleton, broth
er to Longfellow but further than that her
pedigree has not been traced.
Roma, the 9 TO 10 favorite for the light
welter race that opened the days sport,
shouldered her lis pounds and won handily
from Kingsley, who tried to make a runa-
way race OF it but quit in the stretch, and
had all he could do to beat Mutineer for the
place.
Eastern money may have side-tracked
Grandee Friday, but he was all right yes
terday and went to the post an to sec
ond choice for the second event on the
card at five furlongs. Ross of course was a
decided 10 10 favorite with hisS6 pounds
MayfMcCarthy, 80 toll chance, gave the
crowd fright by leading to the stretch
Ross, who was second here, took the lead
and won handsomely by a length from
Condo, who beat May Mccarthy head for
the place. Grandee was outrun from the
Jump. The race proved very expensive for
Grammar, who played Condo to win and
Grandee for the place. Pittsburg Phil also
had 3 bet down on Grandee
II was said that McLight did not like the
sticky going, and with that knowledge it
certainly looked a good thing for Oakland

nan and few of the other big bettors took
L chance on Sir Walter, carrying but 81
pounds, with to 1 against him
1t proved an easy win for Oakland Sir
Walter headed McLight to the far turn,
where McLight passed him, heading Oak
land into the stretch. Carr then shook the
1ayorite mp, and he walked away from Nc
Light, winning easily by two lengths.
1t looks 10 me as though the Handicapped
felt kind toward The Lark when he let him
IN the steeplechase with 100 pounds, after
he had won one race within q second of
the coast record, carrying 126 pounds, and
the race proved such TO be the case. The
son of Wildidle opened warm to 5

Beilringer was backed from 10 down to ) to

received considerable support.
Lying in back until the fifth Jump was
reached Clancy gave the favorite his head
and won, eased up, by a length from Bell
ringer. Haymarket, ridden by Stanford.
was fair third, considering his treatment
at the hands OF the Handicapped
The last race a six-furlong run proved
an easy turn for the favorite, Contribution,
who came on in the stretch and won easily
by two lengths from Royal Flush, the
third choice. The Kentucky stables jim
Flood, the second choice, with IS to
against him, ran q very disappointing race,
apparently unable TO untrack himself.
1t was decidedly good days racing,
with but slight mention of undertakers
ana embalmers, and shows that with lit
tie more watchfulness from the officials in
the stand horses will run up to form, even
though II be on muddy track.
