Bowled Over at Emery
vile.
SaIvab'e e Got the Decision Over
CabrilIo in a Close
Finish.
Lost Girl Again in Front at Odds OF
IS to I-Rey del Bandidos in
Race Form.

The downfall of four favorites-not an
unusual occurrence at the Emeryville
track across the bay-a good-sized attend
ance and one very close finish tell the
story OF a days racing. One who discards
the dope book at Oakland will do well.
The form-player will eventually land at
the revulsive-looking iron doors of the City
Prison, applying for nights lodging.
Such is the vast difference in affairs exist
ing between two tracks situated not
twenty miles apart.
The Judges in the stand stated that
Salvable won by half length. Other
keen observers made it q short head, while
Just a few spectators thought Cabrillo was
first over the wire. The race in particu-
lar, a mile dash, solved down to three
starters-Salvable, who receded in the
betting from to 10 to evens, Cabrillo and
Schiller. Cabrillo, with Isom up, made
all the running and was beaten out IN
1:41L. Show honors, of course, went to
Schiller.
Olive was to favorite for the open
ing seven-furiong selling event. The mare
met with little hard luck at the outset
and in a hard drive was beaten out a
head by San Marco, the second choice,
ridden by Sam Doggett. Jack Richclieu
at so to l was good third.
Johnny McHale's good colt Basquil was
q redhot tip for the five and a half furlong
maiden dash that followed, going to the
post s to 5. Ridden by Charley Thorpe he
was badly messed about and beaten two
lengths by Jack O. Lantern, against whom
to 2 vas laid.
Lost Girl again secured winning brackets
in the third event at six and q half fur
longs. Twenty-Five to one was obtainabIe
against her, but whether she was the best
OF the lot starting in the race Is a matter
OF conjecture. RienZi, against which 10 to
l was laid, ran an excellent race under
Slaughter's rather poor piloting, and was
beaten out but three parts of a length.
Tempestuous was third. George Palmer,
the 8 to choice. running in next 10 last
position down the back stretch, made fine
run. but was unable to get within the
money.
Pat Dunne's Formal ruled a to fa-
vorite for the mile and quarter run, and
looking all over winner at one stage of
the journey was eventually beaten out by
both Rey del Bandidos and Unity. The
winner, Rey del Bandldos, who went back
in the betting from threes to to l, came
from last position at the head of the
stretch and downed the pacemaker,
Unity, nearly a length in 2:081I.
With La Mascota possessing no speed
whatever, the final five and q half furong
spin was nothing but gallop for the to
8 favorite, BenameIa. Hazel D. 200 to !
shot, took the place from Petrarch in q
drive.

PLANTING SALMON FRY.
Liberated in Streams Contiguous
to the Ocean.


As an experiment the California Fish
Commissioners suggested some time ago
to J. j. Brice, United States Fish Com
missioner at Washington, that the raising
and planting of salmon fry at some place
contiguous to the ocean would be replete
with good results.
The State Fish Commissioners are of the
opinion that large percentage of the
salmon fry planted in the head waters of
the Sacramento River near the site of
Battle Creek hatchery never reach the
ocean, as predatory fish destroy large
mum bers of fry while on their long Jour
ney to the sea.
70 obviate this, 750,OO0 eggs of the
Quinnat salmon were shipped from Battle
Creek on January l to a small hatchery
which was built few years ago in the
vicinity of Olema, Marin County.
United States Fish Commissioner Brice
acquiesced in the opinion of the local Fish
Com mmissioners and at the Government s
expense the experiment is now being
tried.
The little fishes will be liberated in OLE
ma, Lagunitas and Paper-mill creeks as
soon as they commence to feed, which will
be in March or April next.
F. A. hebley, foreman of Tahoe City
hatchery, is looking after the Olema
hatchery and under his watchful eye it is
expected that very few of the Try will per-
ish. Experts contend that the young sal
mon will not return to the waters in which
they will be planted, but that after they
are in the ocean for some time they will
seek the Sacra mento River or some other
large body of fresh water. The expert
ment will be watched with much interest
by the Com missioners.

,ut failed utterly to run up to them in the


race.
Great things were expected by the pub
lie of La Mascota, second choice in the
betting on the last event, and what dis
appointment she proved. One spectator
said, s'he heard after he got his bet down
that she was not good" Now that is in
deed soothing consolation, and II such
was the case why was the mare started.
With SO pounds up she should have been
fighting for the money, yet she was mis-
erably beaten off. When poor stable
lad on 500 to 1 shot goes out in front OF
his field the ecrab" under him dies away,
he is set down for incompetent and sus-
picious riding. When jockey OF note I'M.
ishes most shoddy exhibition it is mis-
take OF judgment. One jockey can run run
another out wide and almost force him
into the Judges stand and it is not foul
riding. Another horse may swerve tri-
fle with his jockey and the rider is set
down for questionable riding The racing
game has some peculiar phases and the
regular patron has indeed become phil
osopher.
