Ingleside.

Handicap.
BELL1Coso IN GOOD FORM.
Installator Disposed of Midlo Very
Cleverly-Imp. Friar Let the
Crowd Down Hard.

Again yesterday first choices in the
betting had things about their own way
at Ingleside. Had imp. Friar, a brown
horse owned by Marcus Daily, captured
the fifth race for which he was a warm
favorite, the crowd would have had money
to buy gold bricks. AS it was they did
very well, the long lines back of the
bookmakers stands at the conclusion of
every race being testamentary to that fact.
The attendance was large and the bidding
exceptionally brisk.
Eddie Jones. as usual, retained his win
ming form, landing two winners in clever
fashion.
By far the best performance of the day
was that of Nebuchadnezzar, the pony
son of imp Brutus. Carrying 101 pounds
in the mile handicap, and starting a t, 5
favorite, he allowed the second choice, Sir
Play, to cut out the running until a fur
long from the stand. Here Bob lsom
shook "Nebby" up, and outgaining the
leader, he gradually took the lead and
won by scant length IN the excellent
time of :4111. The two-year-o Lincoln
II ran fine race, finishing good third.
Thelma, the only other starter, was beaten
off.
Starter Harvey had thirteen maiden
two-year-olds to handle in the opening
five and half furlong scramble and he
sent them away TO magnificent start.
Scotch Rose a good thing" from the
stable of Alb Stemler, led the bunch until
we'll around the bend for home, when the
to choice, Hanetta, carrying George
Roses colors, assumed the lead and won
easily by three lengths. February, to
l shot, nipped Scotch Rose out for place
the last forty yards.
II certainly looked as though install
lator, with but 107 pounds on his back,
had fallen into soft place in the next
event, a six-furlong sprint, yet the ring
laid as good as 10 against his chances.
Midlo, carrying three pounds less weigh
was heavily played to beat him at odds of
IA 10 and worse. The latter geiding led
until well into the stretch, when McGlone
on the favorite overlook him and from
there on had it his own way, winning
cleverly by couple of lengths in 1:15L
ST. Aignon was third.
Naglee Burke's big colt Bellicoso expe-
rienced little difficulty in disposing of his
company in the fourth event, at FIVE and a
half furlongs, his favorite distance
Backed from evens to Z to 10, he made all
the running and won, pulling up from La
Mascota, II to 1 shot. Rosebud, the
Burns and Waterhouse entry, was a close
third. Imp. Santa Bella ran as though
short.
Another five and half furlone run that
followed saw a much cheaper lot of horses
at the barrier. After seeing imp Friar
warm up, the crowd strung their coin on
the Montana horses chance, and he re-
warded them by finishing sixth. Veragua,
the 3 to 1 second choice ridden by Jones,
was in front the entire way. passing the
judges clever winner from Ezell's Ran
ardine. The Spreckels entry, Therese, was
third.
Mi1iioua Eha riae Fair,s Ura Cotorado
was the warmest kind of favorite for the
last race, over six and half furlongs
Starting at the short price of 3 to 5, he
was badly bumped about during the early
part of the running, but headed his field
in the stretch and easily disposed OF Spry
