| The result OF the last race at Ingleside
| yesterday, while it did not quite sweep
| the favorite players out of existence left
| them IN a badly crippled condition, and
| they are still wondering where Rey del
TERRA, which turned up the winner at
odds of 20 to 1, became imbued with his
staying qualities. The very pleasant recital
was over one and a sixteenth miles, with
| five starting, and Louis EzeI's aluminium
gelding Kamsin occupying the place of
honor in the betting. with eyens chalked
against him. Strong support was ac-
corded Judge Denny at II to 5, and there
was shadow of few dollars going in on
Addie Buchanan. Opening at II to Rey
del TERRA assembled the scale until he
struck 20, and was then backed down to s
and 10.
During the early stages of the running
Addie Buchanan and Judge Denny
showed prominently out in front, but as
the bend for home was reached both wer e
about done. Little Clawson now made
his move with Rey del TERRA, and, draw
ing away clear of he bunch, was not over
taken, and in hard drive won by a
length. Jones on the favorite. which had
been poorly piloted throughout, got a
great move on in the stretch, and, al
though showing his accustomed game
mess, was nosed out for the place by Peter
the Second, ridden by Sam Doggett. The
lines behind the bookmakers' stands were
not very lengthy after the race.
OF the other five events run off the favor.
ties had the good fortune to take three,
and the regulars, who were mustered out
in full force, were in clover. The track
was still trifle deep. which augured
against fast time.
The win of Caspar and the defeat of the
! Is to 20 choice, Zamar II, in the third
event at five and half furlongs, created
| almost as much OF a sensation as did the
| victory of Rey del TERRA. Honig's
| sprinter looked like 'cast-iron," and his
overthrow can be attributed to Slaughter's 8
| bungling ride.
| Bellicoso, carrying 120 pounds, was
| looked upon as the contending horse, and
was held at 10 in the books. With but
| 80 pounds n the saddle, as good as 10 to l
was laid against Caspar. Contrary to ex-
pectations, Jones on the latter colt went
to the front and heading BelIcoso with
| the exception Uf at the three-quarterS,
stood drive gamely and finished half a
| length before the odds on choice with Ma
| giee Burk's sprinter tapped on the pair
! After quarter had been covered Slaugh-
ter found himself pocketed and compelled
to go on the outside of the two leaders
| He then made wide sweep into the
| stretch, and also furnished a pretty exhi-
! bition of numskullery.
A very poor assortment started in the
first event, six-furlong selling run, and
the 2 to 1 favorite disposed OF them like
splitting cordwood, winning very easily
| from Abb P. Fleetwood, an outsider, was
third.
Ed Purser and his friends strung their
| checks all along the line on his mare APP
plause, forcing her odds from even money
| down to to 5. She was cranky at the
post, and, as the barrier few up, wheeled
and was several lengths behind the bunch
when Jones set after them. Although
making fine run she had to be contented
with third position. " Woodchopper was
always out in front and gaIloped in six
| lengths in advance of Brametta, Is to !
outsider Three to one was laid against
] the winner.
| Three Forks had the class over the as
| semblage in the hurdle race, and star ing
to 10 choice showed the way and
| jumped in eight lengths ahead of Candor
