The Crack Libertine Defeated by
Oregon Eclipse in a
Sprint.
FAvORITEs BEHIND THE COIN
Heavily Backed to Win, Mary S Beat
Her Field Out of Sight in
a Mile Dash.

James Neil OF Neil & Coney, in whose colors
the gelding Perhaps runs, was benefited to the
extent OF $1100 by the youngsters win.
Miss Garvin slipped at the first turn in her
race, almost falling to her knees, which no
doubt contributedto her poor showing.
The Kentucky stable horses, in charge of
Trainer Luther Dickinson, will arrive at the
track within the next two days. Lissak, Colonel
Jack Chinn's gentleman in black will prob
ably be among the lot.
W. D. Randall, the Montana trainer is hay
ing fine success with the horses belonging to
Marcus DAILY, the millionaire. The stable
scored win yesterday with New Moon and
Allahabad and Sleeping Child finished second
and third in their respective races.
Many racegoers expected to see Miss Fletcher
make better showing in the last run. The
mares jockey, Eddie Jones, told Judge Burke
that she seemed utterly at in the deep
going, founderlng around all over the track,
and he was unable to get her to exert herself.
Cash Sloane gave an exhibition of horseman-
ship on the back of Oregon Eclipse that prob
ably passed unnoticed by many. Before a
quarter OF the distance in the race had been
traversed his saddle slipped, and, remov-
ing his feet from the stirrups, he rode
out the race with his feet dangling at the
horses sides and using his utmost endeavors
to keep the saddle from turning com pletely
around.
Walter J, the good-looking son of imp. True
Briton, who for some weeks past has been
under the watchful eye of Inspector Murphy,
was one of the "uncorkings' in the fourth
race. With plenty of oats to eat he has been
showing work that has nearly turned the brain
of some of the rail birds. He had good price
quoted against him, but DonnellY was un-
fortunate in getting away from the post last
with him, and the best he could do was to hold
his own all the way.
Jolly Sam Morton. the ex-patrol Judge, was
one of the many players with hard luck story
after the second race. Sam told a friend con-
fdentiaIly that he had used up three cans OF
"midnight oil'' and figured 'Ndoose" Taylor's
choice, The Judge, cinch. Walking up to
one of the bookies with a five-dollar note, he
was about to make his wager, when a man
rushed in front of him and bet $l3 on the
horse of Sans choice. With a look of disgust
he walked away, saying, "Well, that does settle
HIM"
The sensational feature of the racing
yesterday was the defeat of Libertine, the
crack Western sprinter, by old Oregon
Eclipse in a five and half furlong spin.
The rain had left the track soft but not
sloppy. and to this fact is attributed his
downfall. The flying son of Leonatus
opened l to 2 chance in the betting, but
receded until II to 10 was ob.ainable The
crowd remembered the partiality the get
of imp. Mariner have shown for muddy
weather and Mainstay, the second choice,
commanded large following. The East
ern folks planked their coin on Oregon
Eclipse at 4 to 1, and enjoyed the pleasure
OF getting in line. Mainstay and the
doubtful favorite chased out in front and
looked to have the race between them
when Cash Sloane came along with Oregon
Eclipse furlong from the wire and gal
loped in handy winner in 1:11A. Liber-
tine disposed of Mainstay, beating him
out three lengths for the place.
Outside of this defeat the favorites did
not fare well in the uncertain going, Mary
S alone showing in front. The Judge
carried off the prize as the longest priced
winner. going to the post 20 to 1.
New Moon, member of w. D. Randall's
Montana string, captured the opening five.
