THE E0H CLUB WEIGHED
D. B. Walters Skipped After the
Last Race at the island.
LITTLE BRAVO BEAT MASK
But the Judges Were Looking the Wrong
Way and the Race Was Given to Crokers
Horse, Which Was Immediately Bid Up
to s605-Favorites and Second Choices
Landed the Purses for the Talent.

Several causes added to the excitement at
the Alexander Island track yesterday. In
the first place all the races went to we'll
played fayorites and second choices. The
Eon Club, backed by a local man who gave
the name of d. B. Walters, WEIGHED after the
last race. and Mask was bid up to S605 over
his entered selling price OF $500. John
Croker. the owner. got the horse back by
making the extra bid of 55.
Again the unanimous verdict of good
judges was that Little Bravo had beaten
Mask by good head, but the number Of the
latter horse was hung up, TO the great sur
prise of everybody who saw the race. One
hundred yards from tho wire Mask swerved
from the extreme outside TO the inner rail,
letting up Little Bravo. In this event Ken
lucky Lady was third. and fell five yards
from the wire, but neither the mare nor her
rider, Geiger, was injured.
The sun was very welcome to the big crowd
at the course, mostly composed OF regulars,
and the going was better than the day before.
The track is drying up rapidly. The
