first to last, and in four of the five
contests the finishes We're close enough
to be exciting. Ab Stemler's Caliente
won the first, six furlongs, in 1:l5. The
Sunny slope stake, five furlongs, fell
to Buns q Warehouses; Duckling in
1902 put she was very hard pushed by
Rosormonde, a daughter of Ormonde.
It was in the third race, the Ladies
STAKE. that one of the days surprises
occurred. when Stemler's little mare,
Scotch Rose made monkeys of her nine
companions by opening up about thirty
yards Of daylight between herself and
them before covering quarter OF
mile, and won in a canter.
Vinctor, Of course, won the mile ham
dicap. He had TO carry I'D pounds
against 10S for San Tuzza, who crowd
ed him a little, but he is a high-class
stake horse, while the others are not.
Marquise won pretty race in the
concluding event of the day, at mile
and quarter 1t looked as If William
OBJ. was the only horse in it for awhile
but near the outcome Jockey Wilson
called on Marquise and she shot out
and showed her heels to the others in
great shape.
HOW L HEY w EfLE run.
A six furlong selling race for $3.50
purse was the opening event, and it
had eleven starters, all four-year-olds
or upW ard. Alb Stemler's Caliente was
the one most favored, the books offer

on the others were: Olive s to 1, How
ard s, George L. 30, Bueno 3, Maseoro
s, Salisbury II s to ,, Sea Spray 10 to
l, Free VIII and Emma D. 6 each and
Decision II.
The gate worked finely. and the field
got away in a bunch Maseoro's colors
showed in front as they passed the half
and rounded the turn, but there was
scarcely daylight to be seen anywhere
as the eleven swung into the stretch
ana headed for home. The struggle
was then between Caliente, Salisbury
and Olive, and they finished in that
order. separated by a half length, in
1:15. Il was even closer than that be-
tween Olive and Free viii for the show.
The Sunny Slope stake five furlongs,
had SIX starters. 1t was for two-year

MOrlnell got away in the front and
led into the stretch by d length, with

down to the Wire, where Duckling led

betting was to l Elsie Smith, 3 Neb-

10 Florimel, 3 Fortunate, 6 Marcie A.
and each Lost Girl and Scotch Rose.
IN this case the last was not the
least, by any means, for Alb Stemler's
pretty Scotch Rose fairly ran away
from the field and led past the wire
under 4 strong pull in lila. with sew
eral lengths of daylight between her
and Lost Girl. Fortunate being third
No sooner had the gate gone up than
Scotch Rose shot out in the lead, and
led Y five lengths at the half. She
can't keep it up!'' was the cry, but she
did, and increased the big gap between
herself and her followers until she led
them by seven lengths into the last
stretch. A furlong from the wire Jones
pulled her up and though she passed
the stand at a gallop she was still sew
eral lengths to the good.

When the barrier vert up San Tuzza
led away and cut out the pace for
three fourths of the distance, but they
were all we'll punched for the first
half San Tuzza had opened a gap
of a length when the stretch was
reached. but at that point Vinctor be-
gan TO make a play for the race At
the scYen-eighths he had overhauled
the Midlothian mare, and won as he
pleased by a length in 1:421a. San Tuz-
