One after another Gutta Percha, Wyo-
ming, lamar II, Alvarado and Salvable,
all pronounced favorites in the betting,
came romping in ahead of their fields at
Ingleside yesterday, and a poor mortal
with a tale of trouble to unfold stood In
danger of losing his life if he whispered it
to bookmaker. Strathrol, first choice
for the last event, going down to defeat
was all that saved the com bination stand
from being changed into limburger
cheese sand wich booth, and it also abled
some of the big bookies to recoup their
losses on preceding races decided.
The weather was warm, but the track q
trifle deep, and very ordinary time marked
the different events run. Where races
look foregone conclusion for an odds-on
choice the play is never very extensive, and
business i'll the ring yesterday showed
depression. The conditions of many
races could be framed TO much better adj
vnntage-so many of the owners intimate.
Frank Browns fast mare, Gutta Percha,
was backed from twos to even money to
capture the opening race over seven fur
longs, decided under selling conditions,
and she won all by herself, with Doyle an
easy second over Franco 200 to shot,
ridden by Johnny Woods.
L
finishing seven, eleven, according to the
numbers on the official programme. AL
though the to 5 choice Wyoming, with
Bob lsom, won, he had little to spare at
the finish, for Frank K was at his heels.
I he seven furlongs we're covered in 1:29.
Bonn bazette did not run so well as many
people thought she should, finishing
fourth, behind Miss Ross.
The third number on the card was five
and a half furlong recital for two-year-
olds, with a field OF eight going to the
post. Peach" HONG, who trains for his
father Dan and resembles that horseman
greatly, inasmuch that neither could ride
at lis pounds comfortably, had lamar IL
In and the st. Carlo gelding was 10 10
favorite. He led most of the way, win
ming in galIop from The Roman, which
came from last place in the stretch. Fig
Leaf with % to l about, was good third,
after at one time looking possible win
ner.
The race following was at seven fur
longs and although afflicted with all sorts
of wheels and buzzsaws in the head AL
varado was backed down to 6 TO favorit-
ism. Thornhill who left coffee and
doughnut social to be present, was second
choice in the betting, but seemed afflicted
with no speed whatever. Alvarado dis
played his usual tantrums at the post,
consisting of a sand clog, short Indian
ciuO exercises, now 10 pipe the price,
kick at the assistant starter and away he
went in front. Walter had the pleasure
of finishing second, two lengths away,
with the leader easing up.
Mr.. Dunno concluded to start Salvable
in the mile selling dash as the company
looked pretty easy, and at odds of 1 10 3
he won in tugboat fashion from Peter
the Second in :4214.
The mile and a sixteenth affair afforded
a trife more excitement. Strathrol was
sent 10 the post an even money chance,
but the alarm clock must have failed to
awaken the Strathmore horse in time for
him TO take his morning exercise, for he
ran back in the bunch. In hard drive
Herma1ito got past the official stand a
length before Morte Fonso, a 80 to 1 shot
ridden by Darlington. The Spreckels
entry, Foremost, another 10 1 outsider,
was third but head further away.
