runners attested their popularity by draw
ing the largest crowd of the week to
Agricultural Park. For the first time
during the meet the betting ring was
crowded, and the way the coin poured
into the bookmakers' strong-boxes was q
reminder of old times. The weather was
hot enough to fry icicles dark brown,
and the crowd sizzled and cooked and
kicked at the manner in which the first
three favorites were bowled over. Touts,
or more technically speaking, legal turf
lights, from all points in the Union. ar
rayed in the latest fashions, were present
and impaired their knowledge for the
usual fee.
The racing was far above the average.
Howard, Amelia S, Annette, Vinctor and
Chartreuse II were the purse-winners.
The principal event on the card was at
one and sixteenth miles, in which Vino
tor, Lobengula, L1bertine and Sabilla met.
When the dust cleared away the number
post showed that Vinctor had again
downed the Eastern cracks. Vinctor
opened at to 10 in the books, closing at
even, the bulk of the coin going in on
Green Morris Lobengula, who was backed
down from to 2. Libertine receded from
8 to S to fours. When Havey sent the
quartet away Macklin hustled Libertine
to the front, and going at a great clip led
Vinctor into the stretch by head. Joe
Narvaez touched the favorte up with the
whip, and a furlong from home he had
command of things and won cleverly by a
length and half in 1:4S. In a desperate
drive McGlone landed LobeDgula in the
place, a neck before Libertine.
A. B. Spreckels' handsome mare Olive,
the even money favorite for the mile
handicap, was defeated by Annette in the
most exciting finish of the day. There
were but four starters in this race also,
and a barrel of money went in on the
Spreckels entry. Nic-Nac, carrying SIS
pounds of Tommy Butler, tried to make a
runaway race of it, but had enough fur
long from the stand. In Embarrassing
drive to the wire Hazlett. on Annette, got
the decision by short nose in 1:42.
Bueno opened the hottest kind of a
iavorite for the initial six-furlong dash,
but very soon plenty of 3 to l was obtain
able. He got about as close to the money
as Andree did to the north pole with his
balloon. Silver State, 20 to shot, led
until well into stretch, where Howard,
ridden by Mike Hennessy, and Sea Spray,
with Martin up, headed her, and the last
named pair fought it out. Howard won in
mild drive by three parts of length in
1:14l.
Ten very ordinary two-yesr-olds started
in a selling sweepstake, with fixed valua-
ton of $500. The hot tip on the race was
P F. backed from 20 down TO to 1. He
finished second. Amelia S, a to 1 chance,
showed in front before the stretch was
reached and in drive beat the good thing
out half length. The ID to favorite,
inflammation, ran we'll until Strengthened
away Tor the wire, when he stopped badly.
There were but five starters in the last
event, seven and half furlong run.
Chartreuse II was to 2 choice and
won as she liked in :36, with Marcel Just
as easy second.
