from the Elmwood stock farm string, which
stable is enjoying very lucky winning streak.
Piggott and Jones were the other successful
boys.
Coady on Centurion was cut off at one stage
of the run in the handicap, and after that rode
very indifferently. He was suspended by the
judges for his dilatory tactics, having been
warned in a previous race for this same fall
ing.
Frank Dickey is endeavoring to arrange a
match at four and half furlongs between
Monroe Johnson's flly Clara Johnson and the
Lone stables Pansy for $500 side, he fur
nishing the Clara Johnson end. All that re-
mains TO consummate the match is Trainer
Murry's acceptance.
Charley Quinn, about the heaviest bettor at
the track at present, evidently believes in the
saying that "a turn about is fair play Some
days ago he backed Carmel in a race, in which
the sulker finished bad last, due, it was
claimed, TO the absence of his usual "toddy."
Yesterday, Mr.. Quinn bet $1,000 on the Julia
Martin FLY, and Carmel beat her in gallop.
Carmel was entered TO be sold for 800, and
Charlie gave him one gentle "boost" OF $3.50,
lust to let the other "feller" see how it felt to
lose.
A card made up of four events for sell
ing platers and one handicap attracted the
usual number of regulars TO the track
Yesterday. The time made in the different
events was slow, and the racing far below
the average. Out of the five events three
lightly backed favorites were successful.
If such il could be called, the five fur
long handicap was the feature of the card,
with five entries. Rinfax and Hueneme
were the talents pick, each going to the
post - to 8.
The race ended in a big dump, for Myron,
a 10 to chance, took the lead almost i'm
mediately, and running under a wrap,
won easily by two lengths from Seraphin.
Rinfax was a good third. The time was
very creditable, l: 01,
A cheap five and a half furlong dash
that opened the days racing proved a
mere pipe-opener for the to favorite,
who won hands down from Hanford, who
closed at 8 to 1 in the betting. Amigo
was bang-up third, starting at 90 to l.
AS usual the Holly entry, Melanie. had
the crowd guessing on the next event over
the same distance as the race preceding,
and after opening at to 5, even money
could be had about the mare at post time.
She won as she pleased, three parts of a
length in front OF Rico the supposed good
thing" i'll the race, backed from 6 to 3 to L.
Venus, who went back in the betting
from to 15 to 1, ran fairly well, finishing
third.
The Julia Martin FLY was made an to
5 choice for the six-furlong run over the
inside course, but she could never get close
enough TO Carmel in the race, who started
at 81 to 1, to make the sulking brute eX-
tend himself. She secured the place, how
ever, very handily from Nellie G.
The last number on the card, mile SELL
ing affair was prolific of two wild plunges,
Miss Garvin and Raindrop being the
touted pair. 1t was honey in the comb for
the bookies, for after Greenback Jr. had
headed the field into the stretch the to l
favorite, Remus, left the bunch and won
at the wire, pulling up from the hard
ridden Miss Garyin. Greenback Jr. Sc
cured third place. MULHoLLAND.
