A GREAT RACE WEEK..
The Most Successful Ever Held
in the State.

'S
".he hottest thing o. the stove"
The judges took the racing in their
hands the first day and showed the
public that they would allow no
crooked work that they could get on
to. AS a result the racing, while not
absolutely not above suspicion, has
been fairer aud more interesting to
the public than anytime they have
been heretofore. The track has been
in good condition ali the week aud the
visiting no; semen are loud 10 their
praise OF the treatment they have re-
ceived and the ACCOMMODATIONS offered
them.
The money in the pool box has as
tonished every body Oh the rack.
More heavy betting is done here in
one dag than prevailed during the en-
tire week in Reno at the State Fair.
The reason of this may be traced to
the prompt action Of the Judges Oh the
first day iE tiniDg and suspending
jockeys and drivers who imagined
they were running the track to suit
themselves.
A feature Of the meet has beeu the
appearance OF female jockeys on the
track, who size mp in good shape
along with the male riders. 1t must
be calling for a field of male jockeys
to see a horse beating them down the
Crrotah tn Z no mira ni1ntol hu civil
but some Of the best jocks have been
obliged to do this.
Once al attempt was made to crowd
Miss Olson to the rail, and she had
her whip out ready to slash the Jockey
who wanted to do the crowding, and
now the riders attempt no familiar
tiles with any horse she rides as they
round the turn.
The new women Jockey has come to
stay and will crowd many a male
jockey out Of employment. The rea-
son Of this i that the female jockeys
are not dissipated aud can be depend
ed on. The male jockey is about
town after the race and frequently be
fore loaded to the guards with hOOze,
while the female jockey is intulg ing
in no dissipation and quietly 'atlend-
ing to her k~Dttting."
On more than one occasion Jockeys
have hardly been able to sit iD the
saddle when they got their mounts.
Yesterday it was announced that
Pizen, who was ruled off the track last
year for two years, was reinstated .
This was something of a surprise as
his Offense last year, reaching out and
pulling a rival horses bride in the
stretch, was regarded as suffici-
for life.
When a rider is ruled off TOR two
years he should remain off for that
time. 1t is urged hat he is no worse
than the rest, which is no argument.
All foul riders should be punished
severely and riders aud drivers
should be made to realize that the as
s~ociation means business when it
deals out punishment for such work.
1t is understood hat the next break
made by PiZen will result in his get.
ting ruled off for life, and it is to be
hoped that the lesson taught him will
make sn honest jockey out of him, as
he is n of the best and ~cleverest
riders in the west. He will find if he

The unfinished trot and pace was
won by Pho in two straight hears,
Mamie F being scratched on account
of same injury to her feet. At the
finish Peggy acted badly and the
judges changed drivers, but the horse
seemed sick after the race. She was
sick in her stall and last night she
vas reported dying. She was certainly
doped and some ugly stories are afoat
about in connection with the matter.
Pio's driver was fined S. for sneer-
ing at the driver of Peggy.
The : dash was won by Jessie 0.
Gold Cloud second and Grover z
third. Time So seconds. The judges
got onto the fact that the race was a
job aud accordingly put "Pizen" up
on Jessie 0. She won aud the jobbeTs
were put deep into the consume. The
action of the judges prevented the
public from being slaughtered and
dumped the sure thing men.
