could hardly have lost.
King was originally carded to ride Soon
Enough, but the judges hardly thought him
competent to ride 3 to 5 choice, and replaced
him with Hennessy.
IfH. Martin, who rode April in the second
race, used his most vigorous efforts to win he
should be relegated to the ranks of the might
havebee and never be seen astride horse
again.
Imp. Star Ruby is one of the handsomest
pieces of horsef1esh seen at the track in many
day. For horse that has only been off the
cars but week he fine race, and will
bear watching in any kind OF company.
Barney Schneider fancied the chances of his
horse Yemen to defeat Rosebud and backed
him quite extensively. This opinion was
shared by Riley Grammar, who was loser and
strung his money with the horses owner.
The old horse had to succumb to younger
blood in the stretch.
The hurdle race, view of which was partly
obscured by fog, was a chapter of accidents.
Of the six starters but three finished. The
riders of the three horses that stumbled es-
capped injury, with the exception OF Stanford,
who had the mount on Dick O'Malley. The
horse made mistake over one of the jumps on
the backstretch and Stanford suffered dislo
Winners on the long shot Jim Corbett. were
few and far between, and Johnny Coleman of
the Stuyvesant Club probably enjoys the dis
tinctiou of being about the only one in the
ring to have a straight bet on the horse.
Hughes & Co. laid Johnny $1,000 against $40
and Hugh Jones wrote ticket reading $500 10
s., which Mr.. Coleman also held. The field
book had but two bets recorded on the sheets
against the outsider, and both of these were
place bets.
Even if Pugilist Jim Corbett did not
make a sieve of Bob Fitzsimmons with mis-
ponderous fists at Little Rock, his name
sake. the horse running at the Bay Dis
trict. scored a decisive victory yesterday.
Starting in the second event, a short six
furlong dash, he was neglected in the bet
ting, the bookies laying odds that varied
from 60 to 100 to against him. After the
3 to fayorite, Irma, had led for over three
parts of the distance she tired, and Jim
Corbett and Ida Sauer, another outsider,
drew up on even terms with her. In
very close finish the rank outsider won by
a nose, with Ida Sauer a neck in front of
the favorite. The bookmakers wrote very
very few tickets on the winner.
The entries yesterday were light, but
several high-class horses m ade their ap-
pearance. Race-goers did not turn out
very largely, the attendance being light ter
than usual. Favorites finished first in
four OF the six races run.
The crack sprinter Potentate was in fine
fettle and appears to have regained his
Old Eastern form, for he showed to good
advantage in the fve-furlong handicap.
Possibly on account of the poor showing
he made in the race preceding yesterdays.

| him, Fly, who is not mentionabe in the
same breath with the Eastern horse, being
made favorite at s to 5. Imp. Star Ruby
pro bably earned as much coin on mis-
chances as any of the starters, being
backed down from AZ to to 1. Fly was
in front to the stretch, when Potentate
went to the front and won under restraint
in minute fat. The imported horse fin
ished strong and nipped the place from
the firing Fly by a head.
The opening race for maiden two-year-
olds was taken by the favorite. Prince
Hooker, who receded IN the betting from
3 to to s to 5. He downed the second
choice, Governor Budd, neck in a drive.
Moran a 10 to l chance, was close third.
The California stables Model was strong
ly backed to beat McLight in the mile
handicap, each going to the. post IL to 5.
The Sir Modred mare tried to make a lun-
away race of it; but McLight was in stake
form. and when shaken up in the stretch
assumed the lead and passed the wire an
easy winner in the fast time of 1:4OL.
Wawona, we'll fancied in the betting for an
outside chance, finished fair third.
There were but three starters in the fifth
event on the card, a six-furlong selling
affair, with the Burns & Warehouse entry,
Rosebud, a warm to 10 choice. Yemen
was well backed at twos, with Charmion
the outsider Yemen's colors showed in
al, ha nfnIx
when the favorite passed him and came in
a comfortable winner by three lengths.
Charmion finished well and captured the
place from Yemen by head. Time, 1:14L.
There appeared to be nothing to the
mile and quarter hurdle race, hut Soon
Enough and the 3 to offered by the
pencilers was eagerly sought. The son of
rolled in, winning by fifteen open lengths
from Amigo. Adelante finally came in a
distant third.
