CHARITY RACING
At INGLES|DE
Society Did Not Turn Out
Largely to View the
Sport.
The Finishes Were Tame With
but One Favorlte in
Front.
Los Prietos Finally Won at Goot
Odds-San Marco Beaten Out by
Collins in a Drive.

There was racing at Ingleside Track yes
terday Tor "sweet charity's sake" and it
was generally supposed that society would
grace the occasion with its presence, but q
powerful telescope would have failed to
reveal over half dozen members of the
upper crust perched away in . corner OF
the clubhouse balcony, or possibly
select two or three in q secluded portion
of the grand-stand. But the regulars were
there the same as on other days, and the
sport progressed in the usual humdrum
way, without accident or incident worthy
of note.
The fields were small, and Starter James
B. Ferguson, who officiated with the red
bunting, experienced little difficulty in
sending them away. One or two races
wore glossy surface, but might not bear
closer inspection, though as . whole the
game was pretty good. II was not red
letter day for favorites, for but one out OF
the six spoke the judges first.
Charley Macklin's good ride on the to
1 chance, Los Prietos in the two-year- old
scramble at five furlongs, won the race
for that youn gster. Towanda, the to
favorite, and Miss Remsen, tho second
choice, raced themselves to death the first
part and when Macklin finally made his
move he had no difficulty In beating tho
favorite . neck.
There was at least one of the six entries
in the seven-furlong selling event that
followed, trying, and that was the winner,
Adam Andrew. The wise money all went
in on him at odds of 8 and 81 to l. He
was allowed to make all his own running
and won easily from Velox. The eveu-
money choice, George Palmer. finished in
the show.
With Crescendo scratched and the
weight on King William III instead of
127 as originally given out, the si1-furlong
purse race looked good thing for that
horse and he was played down to to
favoritism. Mercutio at fours In the
ring, ridden by Shaw, gave him good
argument, but at the wire he downed the
latter colt head, with McLight Tapped
on third.
Peixotto. the fast and acrobatic Brutus
sprinter, had plenty of sand in his craw
yesterday, nd in the six and half fur
long sprint, decided under selling condi-
tions. made show of his field in fast
time. He receded in the betting from to
2 to 5 to l, and having the footing over the
to favorite Mainstay from the jump,
led him past the winning line by FIVE

record. Old Logan was distant third in
front of Veragua and William OBJ.
Finishing good second TO Judge Denny
on Saturday last, Collins came out in the
mile and a sixteenth selling affair, and in
drive defeated the IL to 10 choice. San
Marco, ridden by Marty Bergen. The
favorite and Daylight cut out merry clip
to the stretch, where the field closed on
them. Opposite to the paddock Clawson,
on Collins, pulled away from the bunch
and led the first choice out by three-fourths
of length, with Ransom a good third.
The winner was AZ to in the betting.
After booking mad progressed on the
six starters in the final mile run for some
minutes, Mat Storm, owner of Horatio,
the favorite, discovered that his horse was
not eligible to start in the race and re-
porting the fact to the Judges the colt was
scratched and twenty minutes allowed to
make new book. Imp. France was then
made pronounced choice and the ride
she received at the hands of Shepard
should relegate that corkscrew compost
toned youth to the sbeep-herding busi-
ness for evermore. After being cut off on
three different occasions he made fee bic
bluff at the end, only to be beaten out a
couple of lengths by Con Moto. tho third
