THE BAY DISTRICT RACES,
Jockey Club Smiles and
the Selling Race
War Goes On.
MIDLo MADE A FINE RUN
The Decidedly Warm First Chico,
Uncle Giles, BoWled Over
by Agitato.

The Pacific Coast Jockey Club has removed
its office from parlor G TO more commodious
quarters in parlors A and B OF the Palace
Hotel.
Nine bookmakers were doing business in the
ring yesterday an increase OF one over last
drawing.
There was hot tip out on sooladain, who
started in the first race and was backed from z
TO i to /. He was away from the post none too
well, but, judging by his running, a slower
pace would suit him better.
Tod Sloane has received a telegram from his
brother, Cash, who was recently suspended for
q suspicious ride on q fayorite al Oakley, stat
ing that he had been reinstated and would
come TO California if he could secure employ
ment to ride for some good stable.
The Judges have tired of witnessing races
thrown away through boys INDUCING in
grand-stand finishes, and at the conclusion
OF the last racetfned Shaw $25 for his ride on
Agitato.- The horSe won, but Shaw took mat
tiers so easy the last furlong that he was nearly
nipped out by Donahue on the fayorite. This
is not Shaws first ofense, and it should teach
him a lesson.
Horses carrying the orange, blue and
green colors of Burns & Waterhouse
have doomed up in front quite frequently
of late, but many of the victories have
proven costly in the way of boosts in
the selling events. Last week the firm
had some horses bid up, and the dose was
repeated yesterday. When Midlo, who
won the second race, was put up TO be sold
he was bid up to $1,000, a raise of 500 over
h oil lNn id IN
done by Al Legg, part owner of Charles
Boots, who ran second. There was more
trouble ahead for the wealthy turfmen in
the fourth event. Fannie Louise was in
the race, pitted against very ordinary lot,
entered to be sold for $780, She won with
ridiculous ease and was bid up $3.50 over
her entered selling price by j. j. Case,
owner OF Kathleen, the second horse. 1t
is claimed by horsemen that the Jockey
Club is to blame for all of the trouble.
They say that on an average but one race
a week is given for the better class of sell
ing platers, which compels their owners to
place them where they do not belong and
take the chance of a bid-up. The poor
owners have grown tired of this sort OF
thing and have taken the matter in their
own hands.
The attendance was all that could be ex-
pected yesterday considering the card.
Racing-going folk have learned to look
with such distrust on favorites that when
two finish in front they are supposed TO
have enjoyed a good day. Such was the
case yesterday, couple Of first chances, q
10 to L chance and a second and third
choice getting the coin.
1t is dollars to doughnuts the trainer of
Gondola forgot to muZZle the mare and
allowed her to eat too much dessert at
luncheon, for she did not run the way
favoTiUeS are supposed to in the opening
tive-furiong dash. Detective, a 10 to
chance, led all the way and won easily
from GEeka, another outsider, in 1:G215.
Tamalpais finished third.
In the next race, five and half fur
long dash for two-year-olds, the first
choice Midlo, backed from g to 5 to 6 to 5.
ran a remarkably fine race. Getting away
absolutely last, he wendell his way through
the field of eight, and catching the second
choice, Charlie Boots, who had been max
ing all the running, the :ast sixteenth,
won cleverly by head in 1:0SL. Treaeh-
cry, the third choice, got the show.
The third race was a siX-furlong run for
maiden@starters, ridden by maiden Jockeys.
Coleman opened an even-money favorite
in the betting, went back to to 5, when
he was played down to to s. Jefferson
opened at 8 TO 5, receded to threes and was
again backed down to his opening odds.
The Little Flush colt, ridden by Rowan, a
I%-to-1 chance in the betting, led all the
son, with the favorite third.
The next race, five furlong sprint, was
taken very easily by Fannie Louise, backed
down from even money to 3 to and of
the boards. Kathleen was a good second
with Arctic third.
The bOokmakers took hard fall out OF
the talent on the last race, a mile selling
affair. Uncle Giles carried small barrel
of coitf. at 3 and to 5, but Starter Fergu.
son sent them away with the favorite last
and, although he made a fine run, could
never catch Agitato, the 2-to-1 second
ehoice,who led all the way and won by q
. head in Al u.
