THE BAY DISTRICT RACES,
Captain Rees Was Never in the
Hunt With the Flying
InstaIlator.
THE SPEEDY FLY IN FRONT.
Fireman, the Brother to Torch
bearer, Took the TWo-Year-
Old Event Driving.

Niagara of Dick Ledgetts string pulled up
bleeding slightly at the conclusion of the third
race.
Fireman, Fly and Installator were the three
successful favorites, the other two events going
to outsiders.
Elrod, the newly arrived Latonia jockey,
rode his first mount on Charlie Boots. finishing
good third.
Billy Beverly at one stage of the betting laid
to 5 against Instauator, but later on bet on
him at 8 lower price.
The gelding Charlie Boots finished third in
the two-year-oId race to a colt owned by the
man after whom he is named.
Florence c gave fine exhibition of bronco
bucking while at the post in the youngster
race, unseating her rider once.
Monroe Johnson's good-looking FL Rio Rey
FLY Clara Johnson was well backed in the two
year-old event on the strength of g recent fast
workout over five furlongs. She ran an ex-
cellent race.
j. B. Ferguson, the popular colored trainer of
the newly arrived Westchester stable, was for
tunate in landing his first bet in California.
He backed Amigo the 10 TO l outsider that
won the opening race, and will no doubt con-
string.
The Elmwood stock farm experienced a
most successful DAY. Fireman and Installator
both won their races and Remus was beaten
out but a short distance in the third race. In
his present form it is doubtful whether there
is a horse quartered on the track capable OF
giving Instsllator race at mile.
The meeting of those two fast miiers
Captain Rees and Installator, was the me-
dunn that attracted very fair-sized crowd
to the Bay District yesterday. They came
together in the last race, but what was ex-
pected TO be a horserace from beginning
TO end turned out very tame affair. The
Captain was chalked up an even money
chance when the odds were posted, with
the Eimwood stock farm representative a
shade cheaper at to 5, which later on was
raised TO to 5. Then the money went in
on him, and when the bell called the
horses out he was the even-money favorite
with 6 to 5 offered against Captain Rees.
OF the other starters in the race Mr.. Jingle
was about the only one that carried any
coin.
To poor start, Installator went right
out in front, and running under restraint
last hundred yards in 1:41L. Captain
Rees, cut off a couple of times, made a
poor showing, failing to finish in the first
three, Mr.. Jingle getting the place, with
Ali Baba go to l shot, third
The racing did not open very auspiciously
for the favorites, Ike L, the 9 to 10 choice
for the opening dash at five furlongs, fail
ing to get mark. Amigo. a 10 to 1 shot,
showing prominently as the horses entere
the stretch, won easily two lengths in front
of Mt. Carlos with so to / against him in
the betting. O'Bee, the second choice, was
third but head further away.
Better luck followed the favorite in the
next event, the four and a half furlong
spin for the members of the two-year-old
division. Fireman, who finished second
in his preceding race after getting away
last, was made to 5 choice, with Don
Pedro, Charlie Boots and Clara Johnson
fancied in the order named.
To a struggling start Britannia, Clara
Johnson and the favorite showed in tn first
flight. Clara johnson entered the stretch
with commanding lead and looked all
over a winner, but Hennessy brought the
favOrite up the last sixteenth and in drive
won by head. Charlie Boots finished a
good third.
The Elm wood stock farm again furnished
a favorite for the mile selling affair in
Remus, who went to the post 2 to l. Miss
Garvin though, with her light impost OF
eighty-six pounds, carried the handicap
per's coin, being strongly backed with
threes about her. Fancy prices were
offered against the balance.
The light weighted Miss Garvin skipped
out in front with the favorite at her heels
when Ferguson sent them away and every
thing looked bright for him until after
rounding the far turn, where Cheyalier
was urging him. Miss Garvin entered the
stretch first, with Faro the contending
horse. The latter by hard riding, passed
the mare forty yards from the wire, win
ming by a length. Remus came again at
the end, beating Miss Garvin out for the
place. The winner price was s to 1.
With nothing fast enough to make him
quit the Elkton stables fast sprinter Fly,
who opened at z to and receded in the
betting to TO 1, led his field throughout in
the fourth race, finishing length in front
of Major Cook at 10 to 1 in the betting.
Boreas, the second choice, was a good
third. The speedy gelding tripped the
five furlongs in 1:01Z. MULHoLLAND.
