The bookmakers COMPLAIN of a light
play at Ingleside track, but betting people
cannot be expected to unlim Der to any
great extent on the class of horses per
forming in the races thus far. When
some OF the really "gre at" horses that are
supposed to now be nibbling on oats and
reposing contentedIY in their stalls, ap-
pear with the silk up. then the ring can
LOOK for better times. All summer long
native racegoers nave had their brains
racked endeaVoring to pick winner out
OF a Jumbled-up mess OF cheap horsef1esh
at the country fairs, and now these pa
tient, plod6ing spectators consider them
selves entitled to change.
The attendance at the rack yesterday
was hardly as large as on the preceding
days of the meeting, Judging from the
lightly inhabited grand stand. Five races
were run off, but the sport was dull and
li:eless. Favorites were successful on
three occasions.
The best effort of the afternoon was the
mile and quarter selling race, captured
by the favorite, Lady Hurst, ridden by
Mcdonald. Double Quick at first opened
a to choice, receding to 8 to 1. The
big coin went in on Lady Hurst, the mare
closing at 10 in the majority of the
books. Double Quick, with Clawson up,
ran under restraint for q mile, but when
pressed by the tavorite could not respon q
and gave up the race. The Lady then
won handily in 2;093< from Peter the Sec
ond 70 to l chance. Double Quick was
hard ridden 10 beat Daylight for the show.
Owner Dan Honig took the opening
seven furlong run for maidens with the
20, al f,n{H Inor
male, against which the ring laid u to l
at post time. IN hard drive little Jen-
kins got him over the wire q nose before
Rufaba, from the Boots stable. The hot
tip, Whir!wind II, played down from
fours 10 to 5, showed speed for a way
and then fell back IN the bunch.
Twelve two-yeaT-olds faced the barrier
in the next. six-furlong dash for two
year-olds. The Burns & Warehouse en-
1ry, Bliss RuCker, looked far and away the
best, and ruled warm 10 favorite. a
struggling start, in which he was away
poorly, blasted his chances. and be was
never prominent. Miss Remsen was first
nearly the entire route, and won cleverly
nearly two lengths ahead Of Prestar, son
OF imp. Prestonpans, at one time 80 to l in
the betting. Catawba made u fine run
from one OF the rear positions, finishing d
bang-up third.
The Eastern fiIIy Lone Princess showed
her heels 10 two last sprlDters IN the fourth
mum ber on the programme, q selling
affair over six furlongs. She was to 5
favorite throughout the betting, and after
lying second to Zamar 10 the stretch, as
sumed the lead, and won ridden out over
a length in advance of HonIg's entry.
Parthemax, the second choice, finished
strong, close third.
Fog obscured much of the view of the
concluding race OF the day. six furlong

down TO TO 10 favoritlsm. Piggott, who
had the leg up, managed 10 beat the gate,
and although the LoyaIist gelding was
stopping at the end, lasted long enough to
beat Lost Girl th-ee-parts OF a length.
Schrei ber's Sweet William was third.
