The judges at Ingleside were kept busy
yesterday separating horses that finished
noses apart on the wire, and seldom has
finer days racing been witnessed in Cali
fornia. From time standpoint the furi-
Gus finish between the proud Libertine
and Tea Rose, a lightning fast little two
year-old, daughter of imp. Midloi hian,
in the owners handicap at five and half
furlon s, eclipsed all of the other per-
formances. There were but three entries
10 this event, the two sprlnters named and
]. Naglee Burke's Be.licoso. The two-year-
old. with eighty-four pounds in the sad
die, was giving Liberline, with ninety five
pounds up, fifteen pounds.
Bellicoso, RIDDEN by Jones, carried SO
pounds. The betting favored Libertine.
who opened at 7 to 10 and at one time
was as good as even money. Bellicoso
was well supported al TO 2. and the little
filly's friends, who were legion. forced her
price down from to 10 l. Little time
was spent at the post, the trio quickly
being dispatched, with the favorite slow
est TO break. Off like shadow, Tea Rose
led the way, followed by BeIicoso, the
three furlongs being stepped off in "a
seconds. at the head OF The stretch Lib
ertine began closing on the leader, but
she led him one OF the merriest hunts he
ever had.
So sure was Pat Reidy that he had the
race won that he turned in the saddle to
get glimpse of Libertlne, ana very soon
the youth had better view of him. Foot
by foot the bay overlook the two-year-old
and just as the wire was reached his nose
showed in front. Bellicoso was two
lengths away. The time, 1867, is now
the Ing eside track record and Is within
fraction of a second of the Coast record

Rose, although not partial to weight, is
possessed OF marvellous turn of speed,
bordering on the phenomenal. The win
ner ran the five fur ongs in one minu
fiat, the lasl quarter being covered in 23A
seconds, showing that Galen Browns pride
has lost none of his old time steam and
propelling qualities.
The other events were equally as we'll
contested, the big crowd being kept keyed
up to high pitch OF excitement. Favor
lies took five of the six races. The Corri-
gan colors were thrice carried to the front
by Indio, Tenacity and Can't Dance.
Backed down from two to even money
Indio waded through his field from one OF
the rear positions and placed the opening
hve-furlong scramble for two-year-olds to
his credit. True Blue was second and the
500 10 shot, Jerilderio. third.
Old Strathmeath, allowed to wander
back in the betting on the second event,
another that came from behind in The run
home and got the decision from Ricardo
by less han. a length. TheIma, the IL to
5 favorite, was third.
The tempter came and he was
tempted p Ostler Joe, a mem Der of
Trainer Randatl's equine paradox from
the Copper City (Mont.) curriculum, fur
nlshed grand exhibition of brute intelli-
gence. The knowledge possessed by the
animals In the Montana trainers charge
borders on the supernatural. They seem
to realize by the crowd that gathers
around the stall in the paddock that the
public is backing them, and they imme-
diately grow wise. Yesterday Ostler Joe
started in a mile dash along with Kamsin
and three others. The latter opened at
to 5, and was backed down to evens.
Ostler Joe opened at to s. too, end went
back 10 2 to l. Then some coin went in on
HIM, but very little from the land of
mines and smelter smoke.
The Ostier easily overhauled Sabilla and
