The Heavily Played Fleur de
Lis and Lumina Not in
the Chase.
L1BERT1NE AGAIN DEFEATED.
Vinctor Takes the MEASURE of the
Crack Sprinter-MiSs Pollard
in Front.

Agricultural Park to-day. Ell Primero sta
ble's pair, FIeur de Lis and Lumina were
top-heavy favorites for the rich:prize, but
both ran like dogs" finishing bad in the
ruck. The two were hot favorites in the
betting and the specializing public lost
barrel of coin over their miserable show
ing. The cash was won by Candelaria,
second choice il the betting, whose win
could in a great measure be attributed to
the splendid plotting ne received at the
hands of Americas greatest alI-around
rider, Mike Hennessy. He used rare iudg-
ment, and when the leaders had raced
their heads off came on and won compar-
atively easily. TIE winner ran in the
colors of Burns & Warehouse.
Most of the business houses in the city
gave their employees a haIf-holiday. and
the directors of the society, who had be-
come somewhat disheartened at the light
attendance during the early days of the
week, gained renewed courage as they
gazed upon the crowded grand stand and
betting ring. Sacramento's prettiest
women were out in their latest gowns,
and the day will undoubtedly take pre-
cedent as the most successful of the
meeting.
Vinctor again took the crack Llbertine
into camp IN the special six-furlong event;
Miss Pollard let the talent down with
thump in the mile race, starting at odds
of to l; Alma downed Dolore in the
opening sprint and Hun tsman, the favor
lite, managed to land the hurdle race IN q
drive from Gold Dust, an outsider. Talent
and books broke about even.
After Alma, the to second choice in
the opening five and a half furlongs spin,
had beaten the to choice, Dolore, out in
in a drive, the thirteen starters in the mile
run were called. This was rare guessing
contest. The crowd was undecided be-
tween Coda and Rebellion, each going to
the post a odds OF B to 1. Rebellion never
was close to the coin, but Coda managed
to land third. In a mild sort of drive

the leaders off, tailed dIsmally.
The story of the siX-furlong special can
be told in a few chapters. Galen Brown
thought his big sprinter Libertine fl to
run for a kingdom, and the son of Leonatus
was backed down from to 10 to II to %
in the betting. The only other starters
were Vinctor, Belllcoso and Sir PLAY. The
