SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 1.-THE
attendance at the RACES to-day was fuily
as large as the big throng which hieo
through the turnstiles on Admission oay'
and the betting was possessed OF much
more snap and vigor. The talent, for II
was educated, must have dug UP some old
and ancient dope" books which had
been relegated to the ash heap, for the
different winners were backed TO a stand
still. OF the favorltes, Grady and The
Gossip were alone successful, but the VIC
tories of Tiny P. Fortunate and Decision
cost the ring dearly.
The chief event Of the card. the Vinctor
stake, was again fzzle. For the second
lime Vinctor, the Elmwood stock farm
crack after which the stake is named, en-
joyed a walkover, which caused much dis
appointment. With one exception, the
card was made up entirely OF cheap selling g
events and the finishes ELECTED little en-
thuSiasm.
The opening event was a six-furlong
selliny dash Tor two-year- olds, for which
Eismore closed 2 to choice in the books
A eelding from "the grant called Tiny Z
was hawke about as the good thing, and,
extensively backed at and to l. led all
the way. beating the mil favorite out q
length in l :16 Yule, 80 10 1 shot, got
the show.
Alb stemler's mare, Scotch Rose, which
Oh Thursday SIX pped off six furlongs in
liza romping, let the crowd down with u
,hud in the six-furlong selling sprint that
followed. She was plunged on at the
short price of to 5. and, after setting a
terrific clip out in front until we'll into he
stretch, was beaten out a half len th br
the 12 to 1 shot, Fortunate, spendidly
ridden by Eddie Ames. February, Eta II
and one or two others ran as though sui
fering from sunstroke.
The seven. urlong run, also decided
under selling conditions, had quite a
spicy flavor about it. Once more was De-
cision play ed for a killing, and this time
there was no weeping or gnashing OF
teeth. With odds ranging from TO 10
about her at post time, she beat the bar
rier and was never caught, leading the 8
10 favorite, Sea Spray, past the wire by
half length. She was ridden by Joe Mar
raez Much was expected OF Hazard. the
second cnoice, but the chestnut brought
up at the rear end. Florimel, from the
port at odds OF to L, but she could finish
no letter than fifth with Morse in the
sa Idle.
The mile selling run was veritabe
cakewalk foI Grady, which had 10 go no
faster than 1:43I to have his number
hung out. He went 10 the post at odds of
2 to 1, and, galloping behind Masoero and
Coda 10 the stretch, romped in the easiest
sort of winner. three lengths in advance
OF Masoero, whicn horse cut out the run
ming. San Marco carried a deal OF coin
on his chances at odds of IL 10 o. but Z.
Sullivan evidently could not do him JUS
tice, for he finished behind third money.
Meadow Lark was a a fair third.
A sorry lot of seven maiden three-year-
with The Gossip a 10 favorite. In a
hard drive she landed the money a half
length in front of Gibbertif1ibbet an out
slider. Minta Owen, hammered down from
to TO 1, was third.
