Ladies' day will always be feature
of future annual meetings of the Sixth
District Agricultural association, Their
have been ladies' days at some former
go poorly attended that this year the as
sociation had almost resolved not tc
have an especial day set apart for the
fair Sex. After considerable debate, il
was decided to have just this one, and
II 1t was not successful to have no more
and yesterday was selected. Its sue
cess was greater than had been ex-
pected The grand stand was filled with
ladies, although many os them had To
pay for their seats, only half of the
stand being open to them. The other
half was crowded and while the races
females. Altogether the crowd num-
bsred about 40O0. ..ss--- .,-,
The attendance of so many Of the
gentler sex may have been an inspira
tion to the horses or their riders or both
for the racing was as good as is to bt
seen on any track at any time The
finishes were close enough to be ex.
citing in nearly all the events on tbs
r
than usually good. In one race the track
record, as well as the Southern Calfor-
MIA record, for six furlongs was broken
and in the mile the second best time ever
made in this city for that distance wa:
announced The disappointment Of the
day was in the one harness race on the
program. 1t had been expected tha
with such starters as Anaconda and Jot
Wheeler some record breaking time
would be made. Instead, the race was :
walk-over for the first mentioned horse
only three heats being necessary to de.
eide the event.
AS result of the discovery tha
Jockey Enos had pulled horse in G
former race of the meeting, he was in
definitely suspended. This action wa.
taken when the time made in the one.
mile handicap was announced Emo.
had ridden Masoero in the eighth!
dash on the 18th inst, and did not tinisr
better than third, the time being 1:2SN
Yesterday Masoero won the mile handi
cap in the sensational time of 1:40H
showing clearly that he could have beer
ridden to win in the other event. TIL,

ances Of the gelding We're pointed ou
to the judges, and after consultation th
following official announcement wa'
made:
after the race of Masoero today, whel
ridden one mile in 1:4OA by Jockey Sni
der we have decided that Jockey Emo
should be- suspended for his ride OF
Masoero on Oct. 18th, when he finished
third in seven -eighths of a mile II
1:2S%"
The suspension of the Jockey is In
definite, and it is understood that ther
arc other instances in which his ridin
was at least suspicious. 1t will be re
membered that on Thursday he rod
Masoero third in the five and one-hal
furlong dash in 1:o7H, and his actio1
then will be locke d into by the judges. i
It is discovered that he had any in
Gucement to make the two rides as h
die 1t is more than probable that tn
suspension will be made permanent
