nSKEETS MAR TIN
WON THE RACE
The Local Boy Rode a
Pretty Race Astride
Ferrier.
Fly Saved the Day for the
Favorltes by Taking the
Last Event
Duke of York II, "a Brother to Carmel
anc True Blue, 0utfooted His
Company.

TO use an expression often heard in the
pumpkin country" "Skeets" Martin is
getting TO be a fright pert young feller'
in the saddle. He sat astride of the big
chestnut horse Ferrier in the seven-fur-
long event run ct Emeryville track yes.
terday and the most exacting critic could
hardly have picked a flaw in the ride he
finished. To be sure he had much the
best of the weights over the 3 to choice
Preston, but this detracts not the least
from the clever manner with which he
handled his mouRt. Salisbury II, the
outsider in the betting among the five
starters, piloted by Thorpe, cut out a
merry clip to the stretch with Preston at
his heels and Ferrier at the latter's side.
Once Strengthened for the wire 'Skeets"
Martin let o1t a wrap on Ferrler and the
big horse took command. Willie Martin,
on the favorite, rode the brown horse
hard, but the difference was too wide and
Walter Hobart's chestnut won handily by
length in 1:27. Hard ridden by Doggett,
1nstallator was good third.
The winner was as good as 16 to IN the
betting at post time.
The cruel, harsh trade winds that blow
in through the beautiful Golden Gate,
sweeping Emeryville and its environs, had
their usual rancorous effects on the favor
ties Fly, l to chance in the closing
race with no chance of losing except by
falling dead on the course, won. The
other choices of the talent perished mis-
erably.
Monitor, the 9 to 5 choice among the
thirteen starters in the opening six-fur-
long scramble, iattered his hackers by
leading to the stretch, when he began 10
tire. Banjo, % to l shot, then looked a
winner to within forty yards OF the finish
where he was passed and beaten out by
Purser's AbalanZar, against which y to
was obtainable around post time.
The three-furlong dash saw nine babies
from the kindergarten take lesson in rae
ing. A hot tip made Blitz. the Burns &
Watefhouse entry, an to 5 favorite, but
he never got near the front. Duke OF
York II, with Is to against him in the
ring, was first all the way, leading out
Boadicea by a couple OF lengths at the
tape in 3612 seconds Count of Flanders
was fair third, in front OF Ezell's On Qua
Nita.
@Bookmaker John Humphreys gelding
Little Cripple was dished up as the proper
thing tor the mile and a turlong selling
event. He was backed from threes to Is to
8, but ran as though stale, never cutting
much of figure. In a drive Slaughter
got Doyle, the second choice. past the
judges half length ahead OF Sclmitar in
1856 very fair performance. Hermanita
was third, head away.
Fly had nothing to beat in the conclud-
ing six-furlong spin and Spread-eagled the
crowd opposed 10 him, winning under a
pull in 1:1416 Woodchopper was second,
half a length before Blue Bell.

Antarctic Explorations.

There are reasons why the attempt to
reach the south pole which is to be made by
the Gcrlache expedition appeals even more
forcibly to the Imagination than the IRE
auent eforts to reach the opposite pole. The
arctic one. for one thing, Is already better
known and more frequently explored. The
characteristic feature Of Its climate and to-
pography already have been ascertained.
and BY reason Of the numerous exploration
II has been kept In mind until most Of the
romance Of Its hidden mysteries has been
worn OF.
The antarctic region In stili terra incog-
nita. Certain interesting discoveries made
BY Rriscoe and by Sir James Ross have
sufhced to mark some of the outlines OF the
antarctic continent, and recently Borchgre-
vinck has made some Important advances
toward the higher latitudes. The fact re-
mains that within a few days sail of sew
eral Australian ports. where business Ia &C.
tive and civilization Is decidedly advanced
there lies Q territory Of which nothing II
known save the outline Of 4 little stretch
Of coast line. Sooner or later this territory
must be conquered and laid open by the
hardy explorer. That restless curiosity
which has despoilcd almost the entire earth
Of Its mysteries will not be satisfied until
human feet have trod upon the highest alti-
tudes Of both the frigld zones. The Ger
lache expedition. which has sailed from Ant.
werp, IL abundnntly provisioned and well
prepared. II will be months before II 10
