THE BAY DISTRICT RACES,
Fine Racing Weather Failed to
Make the FavoriteS Run
Fast.
ONE FIRST CHOICE IN FRONT.
Volt, Heavily Backed to Down Happy
Day at Mile, Broke Down in
the Race.

Charlie Boots winner of the second race,
was bid up 5000 over his selling price of 5000
by Ottinger, the ticket-broker.
Arundel was rather neglected in the betting
on the last race, but ran an excellent race He
was shut off q couple of times, and then fin
ished close up with the two leaders.
Garnet Ferguson's colt St. Lee was starter
in the second race, the first OF the horses owned
by the starters son to go to the post at the
meeting. He ran d very creditable race finish.
ing bang-up fourth, and will bear watching.
To show what rapid travelling piece of horse
flesh Miss Gentry is, the Montana mare stepped
off the first eighth OF her race in IL As, went
to the quarter in % As, and flashing past the
threeeighths of mile mark the watches
registered "a 4-5.
EThe Arizona stables horse Volt, who made
his appearance after long rest broke down
badly in the last race after virtually having
the purse at his mercy. Previous to the race
owner Denny Lynch said he was afraid the
horses leg might give way, and he called the
turn.
Archie Mcintyre rode finish on the back of
Happy Day in the last race that showed him to
be possessed of the right sort OF material for
the making of good rider. He hooked up
with the veteran Cash Sloane on Leonville and
got his horse to the wire first by a head in a
rafting drive.
The racing at the track yesterday was
above the average and the attendance
large. The day was one OF surprises, for
some decidedly warm favorites were turned
down. The bookmakers reaped a fortune
over the defeats of Yemen and Olivia,
who were both heavily backed at short
prices.
Happy Day, on which little Mcintyre
rode superb race, alone saved the talent
from going home broke, little Blue Eyes
taking the last race in hard drive from
Leonville and carried off the honors of be-
ing the only favorite of the day to get
across the line in front.
The racing opened disastrously for the
crowd Yemen was backed to a standstill
to win the first race at five furlongs, the
short price of to 10 being offered against
him, and he finished third. Miss Gentry,
fast as a ghost, led the field into the
stretch, but was passed the last furlong
and beaten out three lengths by Fly, the
second choice.
Marionette was heavily backed to win
the tive-furlong dash for two-year-olds,
and she too finished in the third notch,
going to the post II to 5. Encino cut out
hot pace leading up to the seventy
yards, where he was passed by Charlie
Boots the second choice, and beaten out
two lengths in 1:01H, an excellent per-
formance.
A six-furlong run with the weights
raised ten pounds above the scale fur
nished a rare guessing contest. Imp.
Trentola looked the most eligible and
ruled favorite at to 5. OF the other nine
starters Red Root, Bob Tucker and Eva
The latter horse led all the way. winning
hands down, six lengths before Bob
Tucker, with Haymarket in third place.
The favorite showed prominently until the
stretch was reached, where he died away.
The fourth race, over mile, resulted in
the bowling over of Olivia. a redhot even
money chance. San Luis Rey with to 1
against him in the ring led all the way and
won galloping from Raindrop. Faro fin
| ished third, the favorite failing to get a
mark.
A favorite finally managed to get to the
front in the last event, also mile selling
affair. HAPPY Day opened at TO in the
betting, was backed down to even money,
receded to TO 5, strong play coming in
on Volt cutting his odds from to 21%. 1t
looked like Volts race until nearing the
bend for home, where he suddenly began
dropping ont OF it. Leonville here took
up the running and looked all over win
ner until Happy Day came with his great
stretch run and in drive beat him out a
head on the wire.
