The record-union., 1896-09-12

Roses Torsina upheld the talent in
the Misses Stake, six furlongs, with
Spreckels' Lucille second. Tea Rose
captured the Sunny Slope Stake for two
year-olds at five furlongs, with Dura
second, and in the selling race, a mile
and one-sixteenth, Sunrise II. enriched
for second money.
The weather was perfect and all the
conditions favorable to a good days
sport.
FIRST RACE.
The first race was a handicap for two
year-olds, five and one-half furlongs,
the starters being Miss Maggie NJ. 81,
IL to 8, Howard S. 115, Z to 5, Installa-
tor 1O1, 10 to /, Hallelujah LIP, 2l12
to 1.
Installator piloted the quartet to the
three-quarters, Howard S., trailing in
the rear, the others all together. Coming
home Maggie led to near the drawgate,
where Howard S. let out few pegs
and moved past the others and chal-
lenged the leader. In a very exciting
finish he beat the filly over the score
by a head in Los, Hallelujah third and
mstallator last.
SECOND RACE
The second race was one-mile hand
leap for three year-olds and upward, in
which the starters were Grady 90, to
], Olive 1O3, even money, Sabilla 50,
s to L, Instigator 105 to 1.
1t was a horse race from start to fin
ish. Grady led off, but there was
scarcely daylight between any of the
group up to the time they were headed
for home. From the seven-eighths to the
wire it was nip between Grady
and Instigator, and only the judges
could tell which had his nose in front.
The decision was given to Grady, and
the time hung up was 1:42%. Olive
finished third by a length, and Sabilla
was last, but close up.
THIRD RACE.
Next came the Misses Stake, a handi-
cap for three-year-o fillies, three
fourths of a mile. The starters were
Coda 80, 5 TO 1, Lucille 80, 4 to 1, Clara
Johnson 90, 100 to 1, Mic Mac 81, 10
to /, Torsina III, 2 to 5, Cheripe 90,
40 to l, Mrytle II. 80 to /.
Torsina the favorite, led off, but on
the far turn Mic Mac showed in front
for little bit. Torsina and Lucille
fought the race out, however, good and
hard after leaving the head Of the
stretch, the former winning by neck in
1:15al, Mic Mac third.
FOURTH RACE.
The Sunny Slope Stake, a handicap
for two-year-old fillies, had as starters
February 1O5, 10 to /, Dura 10, even
money, Tea Rose 105, 9 to 10, Catherine
| the Great 90, 10 to l, Grandezia 1O5,
| 50 to /.
This was an easy race for Tea Rose.
She got away in the lead, and with
| Dura second and GrandeZia third they
ran in single file around the turn. Com
ing home Catherine pulled away and
took third position, where she finished
a length behind Dura, which was beaten
by Tea Rose two lengths in 1;O2.
FIFTH RACE.
The last on the card was a selling
race. one and one-sixteenth miles, for
| three-year- r-olds and upward. The start
ers were Mirambo 103, 10 to 1, Articus
| 10T to /, Tuxedo 107, 80 to !, Jack
Richelieu 107, s to /, Claudius Ill, 2 to
/. Longlady "a, to /, Two Cheers 107,
6 to i, Rebellion 81, s to /, Sunrise
&C. 4 to l, Broad Billow 81, 60 to /, Malo
Diablo 107, 20 to /.
Just before the race the bettors got
to backing Articus so heavily that the
| bookmakers wiped his quotations off
their boards, but neither he nor Claud-
ius won the race. It fell to Sunrise, q
| 4 to ] shot, with Articus in the place,
and Two Cheers third. The distance
was covered In 1:49A. Rebellion cut
the pace at first, but leaving the first
quarter most Of the horses were well
| punched. It was hard to tell what
| changes were taking place as they
turned toward home, except that Two
| Cheers and Articus were creeping ur
rapidly. Sunrise won out by length,
Articus second and Two Cheers third.
