sACRAMENTANs IN HARD LUCK
F.eur de- Lis, With Duffy Up, NoseG
60. Out by Midight, Ridden By
Jones.

The talent went out to Ingleside track
Yesterday to make five passes and put
thirteen bookmak kers out of business. The
'sbones" did not roll right and every one
of.these thirteen bookies Will be saving
wood at the same old stand to-day. Babe
Murphy, a to 10 shot, first split the COM
binations, and then Torsina, a ! TO 8
chance, failed 10 weather The gale. Fleur
de Lis in the two-y ear-old event llghtened
the pockets OF the Sacramento contingent
and the hard luck ceased, the favorltes
taking the remaining two events. 1t was
simply another illustration OF the uncer-
tainties OF racing.
The card was not Derby day" one by
any means, but the attendance was good.
The track had dried out nicely, being in
very fair condition.
Although a saw-horse might be rigged
Irp in somebody's back yard, astride which
Jockey McHugh could receive riding les
sons, that industrious youth prefers prac-
tice in a real race. and the crowd was
again asked to contribute 10 his education
in the opening seven-furlong run and &C
ceded 1t is getting expensive, but with
Spartan-like fortitude, race-goe1s live with
a hope that he may yet become Garrison.
He had the leg upon the TO 10 fayorlte
Babe Murphy, showed that, he car wait,
and was beaten out a length or so by
Bueno, also quite extensively packed at
9 TO 3.
Bookmaker George Roses Torsina
looked like emeralds from Ireland in the
six and a half furlong spin for three-year-
olds, and was held at the prohibittye odds
OF to 5. Showing speed at intervals, she
tagged out badly in the stretch, ending up
third. Reddngton, TO / shot, with 10Y
10 run 10 ol
one, winning very cleverly by couple of
lengths in 1:2414, ST. Aignon coming fast
at the end, beating the favorite out for
place.
Chapter three was the one that furnished
occasion for Eddy Jones TO distinguish
himself. He had the mount on Green
Morris filly Midlight, and after leading
the wire was challenged by the 10 10
choice, Flear de Lis, ridden by Montana"
Duffy. The pair iRdulged in rare nose
and nose finish to the stand, Midlight
finally getting the decision by an inch or
so. The winner was as good as to in
g. the ring.
ASOIo1 shot, Favory, backed down to
. Is. came very close to downing the 8 TO
favorite, Little Cripple, in the mile selling
event.
The outsider cut out the running, show
ing two lengths in front of the first choice
rounding the bend for home, and 1t was
only by hard riding that Jones got
Humphreys brown gelding past the
Judges neck in advance of the outsider.
Hermanita finished in the show.
The last race, six-furlong sprint, went
to the 10 choice Alvarado. Montgom-
cry and Circe raced their heads off the
first three-quar:ers of the journey, when
the favorite assumed the lead, winning in
driving finish from Daylight, which latter
colt ran very clever race.
Notes.
The Judges concluded at the finish OF
the mile run that 81 McCiain, who rode
Meadow Lark, was capable of putting
more ginger into his riding, and restricted
him to accepting mounts from his en-
ployers, the Elmwood stock farm.
Sandy" McNaughton and Billy Muir,
looking like fashion plates from across the
pond, arrived from the Middle West
Wednesday night and tried a hand at
picking winners Yesterday.
Bookmaker Frank Eckert left Chicago
for San Francisco last night. -
Dan onig, the st. Louis horseman, is
due tosarrive here to-day.
