.St.Iouis tonight. Ofcourse the bangtails
will continue to run and there; are still one

= The favorites did fairly well yesterday,
winning the first four races, and then the
longshots had an outing. ...::.
I; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS brother, the Gypsette
gelding, won the opening race for two
year-olds, starting an even money favorite,.
after Birdie g, a Red Iron flly, carrying
the old familiar orange eolors of Diggs,
J. had. made it decidedly interesting. for him
part of. the journey. She tired badly the
last few jumps and was beaten out for the.
: place .by:Vera, a 20 to shot. go: =. ::
After: expecting to be out of the race
Sooladaif5 the 6 to favorite for the second:
race: at. FIVE and a half furIongs, waded
through his field in the stretch and Won
handily at the end from Nellie G, the third
choice. Fleetwood. finished third. -.
The third race, a later edition of the
l.,
two-year- o1ds. was taken in by William
Pinkerton; Sam Hildreth's brother to
Rico; who went:to the post equal favorite
with Mermaid, each having IL to: 5: against
the chances at post time. The Charlotte
filly, RAINING in the colors Of Bookmaker
Humphrey, was backed down from 30 to Il
TO tens, but proved a false alarm, finishing
last. Getting away third, William Pinker
ton took the lead-at the turn and was never
headed UiTTliO hT. two from orr.
maid, with w: OBJ. Macdonough's Donna
Carlotta fair third. r J." : :.
If it ever happens to: enter the mind of
SBuck Burns who rode Annette, that be
outhnisned Griffin on Road Runner he
would do well to eradicate the idea in
stanter. Time was when Burns could get
away from: the post with a horse, but now
be wants to take the post with him. Get
ting away a poor fifth with the9 to 10.
iaverite, he ran around the field and beat
Road Runner, the second choice, out half
a length. NoTmandie, not within many
pounds of what she was once capable of
doing, with 90 toll against her, was an in
different third. :. !, "a. ..:...z-
The next chapter is. full OF nothing but
trouble for the talent. Oracle S opened an
6.to s. shot but so much money went in on
Mount Air, who was backed down from u
to 1. to tours, that the price against the
gray mare went back to 13 to 5 at post
time. Ricardo made his reappearahce
starting in the colors of s.. F.. Capp; and
the stable made it no secret that they could
win. : Opening at 80 to l. be. went to the.
post 10 to 1. -: j
Oracle S and Neryosa made all the rum

fssse stretch, where NerYosa passed her and
looked a: certain winner. Fig ty. yards:

the inside and won cleverly by two lengths,

On form old Contri bution looked a f'lead:

money he was sent to the post. a to 10
chance. Broodhead was backed from skies
to A to l, but was never in it, AS good as
10 to 1 could be had against Mainstay, and
considering his recent performances IT
seemed to me to be a very long price
especially as it was said the favorite was a.
trife lame. -. =. r.: =.
Vigor took Contribution by the head.
from the. jump, being joined at the half by
Mainstay, the three entering the stretch

full of run, soon had the favorite in trouble
