The prospect of being overtaken by the
approaching storm and returning home
with dropping feathers and soiled fnery
did not prevent hundreds of the fair sex
from taking advantage of ladies day" at
lngleside. The elements were kind
enough to withhold the liquid downpour
until everybody was well on their way
home, and an excellent card of six we'll
filed events were run off to the perfect
satisfaction of the big crowd. Favorites
were in winning fettle again and scam
pered away with four of the six races de-
cided.
The racing was of high caliber and no
complaint was heard of any dead ones"
parading for the benefit of unscrupulous
LAYERS of odds. The fat purses hung up
are an incentive for owners to go out and
win.
The riding honors were divided be-
tween Slaughter, H. Martin. Eddie Jones,
Maynard, Willie Martin and Tony Grit
fms green 'un, little Barringer.
The $500 handicap over one and q six
teenth miles was the main feature of the
day. There were six acceptances of the
weights allotted. In the betting there
was no pronounced choice, quite tribute
time Ed Purser's pair, Red Glenn and
Yankee Doodle, ridden respectively by
Jones and Doggett, had slight call over
Hermanita, the ring laying threes against
the duo OF bays. CabriIlo, Wawona and
Adolph Spreckels were all we'll played at a
trife longer price.
When sent away Yankee Doodle started
out to make the running, but he soon
gave up the lead to his stable companion,
who reliShed the soft going as
duck does water, and retaining his advan-
tage to the end romped in three lengths
tefore Hermanita. Opposite the paddock
it looked as though Cabrillo, who had
been running in second position, would
take place honors, but the last Jump or
two he was nosed out by Follaus bees S
mare. The winner covered the distance
in 1:54.
Barney Schreiber's good colt Schiller
again made sport of his company in the
opening mile dash. He was backed from
to to to 20 and galloped in ahead of
Earl Cochran, so to l shot. The Spreck-
els entry, Wyoming, was a good third.
lnstailator made no showing whatever.
The gray colt Greyhurst gave followers
OF the faVorite severe setback over e
result of the second race at seven furlongs
Opposed TO him were seven very fair two
year-olds, yet IL to 20 was about the best
price laid. Estaca, the Baldwin entry,
was SalQ TO De conner, and the wise
ones backed him at odds OF and to l.
Jones on the favoTite, closely accompanied
by Horatio, set merry clip to the stretch,
where both began displaying distress sig
nails and were closed on by Arrezzo on the
outside and Estaca, on which 'Skeets"
Martin took a short cut. 1t dwindled
down to duel between the Baldwin colt
and Arrezzo. and the Santa Anita bred
youngster gained the decision by half a
length. Greyhurst was tired third
a very ordinary lot of maiden jun pers
lined up in the mile and sixteenth hur-
die affair. and backed down from to 5 to
evens, Showdown with Maynard up led
all the way, and won handily from Bril-
liant, 25 to 1 shot. Broad Billow backed
from II to 81, finished outside of the coin,
being beaten for the show by Fred Gard
ner.
The fifth event at six and half fur
longs developed itself down TO a two
horse race between Pat Dunne's Salvabte,
the to 5 iayorile, with Willie Martin in
the saddle, and the unluckv Walter J,
with Slaughter up. Walter ] was in re-
celpt of ten pounds. and it took all of
Martins saddle ability to land the first
choice winner. Salvable led into the
stretch half length before Walter, and
they had it ding dong to the wire. Mar
