TWO FAVORIqES

Four Other First Choices
Drew Down Purses
at Oakland.
Libertine at Odds On Beaten
Through the Stupid Riding
of Shields.
Colonel Dan Finally Won Race
Scotch Rose Lasted Long Enough
to Down KOenigin,

1t looked as though favorites might
sweep the card al Oakland yesterday, but
Libertine and George Lee upset cacu a
tions and incidentally played havoc with
a score or more of combinations. The
other four choices reached the wire first
after many trials and tribulations.
The defeat of Libertine was due to
stupid riding on the part of Henry Shields,
who seems to have lost all sem blanoe o1
winning form. The big bay could not
have been thrown in with more unaris
tocratic crowd, and was naturally installed
a prohibitive l TO favorite. Shields
jollied along with Lo Lo, $50 to l shot.

strolled leIsulely toward the Wire Claw

vannah 4 to l shot, and downed the
odds-on choice clev rly by neck in l:l4.

and will refuse 10 run III all.

George Lee also looked moral" for the
two-yearold run at q mile and every BODY

Co onel Dan appeared with little Meany
up and blinkers on and made a runaway
race OF II, beating the hardly ridden
choice a length IN :4214. The winner
went begging at 10 l around post time.

sliff play, finished third.

Sky-r, ckety Scotch Rose was again

greatly elongated hird limbs and the series
of great spines which traversed the median
portion of the body and tail. Referring
to these sDines. which during the life Of
the animal were protected by thick horny
covering, Prof. Marsh says that their ex-
istence could not have been anticipated and
would hardly have been credited had not
the plates themselves been found in posi-
tion. The construction of the entire frame
OF the animal indicates that 1t was habitu-
ally slow mover on all four legs: at the
same time 1t is almost certain that occa-
sionally the animal elevated itself in the
manner Of the kangaroo, a position to
which the massive hindquarters lent them
selves as ready support.
Scarcely less extraordinary than Ste
gosaurus, and somewhat surprising 1t in
SIZE was the animal which we figure as
Triceratops prorsus. Its most distinctive
feature was the gigantic horn-coated head
and cephalic crest the former carrying a
remarkable armature of horns supported
on true bone cores. This animal was, like
the preceding, heavily incased in plates and
spines, but up to tie present time it has
not been practicable 20 restore these to
their proper positions: the length of the
largest specimen measures about % feet,
and the height about 10 feet. So little pre-
pared were biologists for the association of
bony horns with reptiles of the group to
which this fossil belongs that when the
frontal bones carrying the horns were dis
covered. they were announced to belong to
a species of bison. Triceratops belongs to
the transition beds which in Wyoming unite
the cretaceous and tertiary series.
Vastly surprising either of the preceding
in bulk was the giant Brontosaurus excel
sus, land animal, which very nearly
equaled in lite the largest of whales. 1t is
thus described by Prof. Marsh: 1.-The
diminutive head will first attract attention,
as 1t is smaller in proportion to the body
than in any reptile hitherto known. The
neck was very long and flexible. The body
was rather short. The legs and feet were
massive. and the bones all solid. The tail
was very long and powerful. The animal
during life must have been nearly GO feet
in length, and about Is feet in height. Its
probable weight was more than twenty
tons" This giant creature, whose skeletal
parts were disinterred from beds Of Juras-
sic age in Wyoming, was herbivorous In
habit, and its food consisted probably of

Alaska. Quecr Plains.

The most wonderful m!rages ever beheld
by mortal eyes are those that are seen in
the twilight winter days in northern
Alaska. These remarkable ghastly pictures
Of things, both imaginary and real, are
mirrored on the surface of the waste plains
instead of upon the clouds or in the atmos-
phere, say ) a correspondent of the st. Louis
Republic. Mimic lakes and water courses
fringed with fgetation are to be seen pic
tured as real as life on the surface of the
snow, while grassy mounds. stumps. trees,
logs, etc, which have an actual existence
some place Oh the earth's surface, are out
lined against mountains of snow in all
kinds of fantastic shapes. Some OF these
the shapes of huge, ungainly animals a2d
reptiles of enormous proportions.
The fogs and mistS are driven across
these wastes by the winds and, as the OBJ
jects referred to loom up in the flying va
pors, they appear like living creatures AMI
the plain. At other times they appear hign
in the air, but this is characteristic of
the northern mirages that are seen near
the seashore When the vapors and mists
are driven out to sea the images mirrored
In them appear to be lunging through the
waters at a terrific rate of speed, dashinS
the spray high in the air, while huge break
ers roll over them and onward toward the
mountainous islands beyond, and against
hich they all appear to be dashng
MopStrous serpents, apparently several
hundred feet long, sometimes with riders
on their backs; men on horseback thirty
tc fifty feet in Height, animals and birds OF
all kinds of horrible shapes and coiors
seem to be scurrying past, racing and
Chasing each other until they are lost in
the twilight fogs or dashed to pieces upon
the rocky islands mentioned above, and
which are twenty miles out at sea
