SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. THE
runners. with their bright silken colors
up, drew largely increased attendance
10 the track this afternoon. The rural
visitor, though, with his supposed heavy
sack, was conspicuous by his bsence, the
crowd Tor tire most part being composed
OF the mem bers of the San Francisco
speculative fraternity. Three books in
the ring-two field books and combina-
iion-did a good business, but did not
materially increase their bank rolls, as
the horses finished, with one or Two ex-
ceptlons, about as the wise ones playe /
them. Two winning favorites and three
second choices that were red hot and
might easily be called favorlteS would in
dlcate very profitable day for the talent.
Probably the most sensational win of
the day was that of Scotch Rose, for the
Ladies stake. at SIX tiIriongs, with gross
value of $795. sic Smith, the Burns e.
Waterhouse entry, ruled a slight choice IN
the books at odds OF 5 to 2, the stable
thinking we'll of her chances. Threes
were laid against Scotch Rose, which was
only nibbled at.
When Starter Hav Y sp ung the barrier,
Scotch Rose, on the outside, darted out in
the lead and simply spread-eagled her
field, winning under double wraps in the
fast time of 1:14. In hard drive Lost
Girl, ridden by Joe Narnaez, took the place
from By Holly's colt Fortunate. Nebula
ran good race and will be hard TO beat
next time out. Elsie Smith displayed a
tendency TO bear in toward the rail, and
became lost in the dust.
Duckling, the B-utus- Decoy Duck filIy
from the Burns & Waterhouse stable, has
been strongly touted about for some days,
ana In the betting on the six tilties which
contested for the Sunny Slope stake,
valued at $3.50. tive.furIong dash, was a
one TO two chance. Morinell, a daughter
OF MoTello, led the bunch to the head of
the stretch, where the favorite took CON-
mand, and, in bruising finish to the
wire, downed the to second choice
Rosormonde, ridden by Sullivan, a neck
IN l:02. The winner was extremely we'll
piloted by George Snyder.
The orenlng event was a six-furiong
amble, with field of eleven lining up.
CalieDte. with Eddie Jones up,was backed
down from TO 10 4 10 3, and, alter run
ming back in the bunch to the stretch,
challenged Salisbury III and in a bruising
hnlsb gained the verdict by head in 1 :15.
Olive. carrying the Spreekeis' red. white
and blue, and an s 10 l outsider, ran an
excellent race, finishing third, Tapped on
the leaders. The educated division
jumped aboard Decision, which was ham,
mered from 10 down TO 5, but the mare
never looked dangerous.
The mile hand lcap saw a heavily backed
favorite toppied over. Vincior, carrying
TOP weight, 122 pounds, opened in the
books at b 10 ., but the coin did not ap-
pear to be forthcoming and his price
drlfted 10 TO 5. The local racegoers
Gould see nothing in it but Summertime,
hammerinG the odds against the mare
down from threes to 3 to 2 favotiiism.
She was evidently notup to very much,
Tor Jones was un abe 20 land her among
the first three. In the stretch VInctor
overhauled Santuzza. which had been
making the running, and led the black
mare over the line by less than a length
i'll l:42h. Marcel, with Bob Isom and 95
pounds III the saddle, dropped from the
clouds III the last part and was beaten but
three parts of a length.
A mile and sixteenth selling purse
conclud, d the days sport. William OBJ
at odds OF 10 5, was sent TO the post
slight favoylte over Marquise William
O'B, with Joe NaIvaez up, cut out the
running and was beaten only in the last
few strides by the second choice. Palo.
N acita, which opened favorite, went back
in the betting 10 to l, and did hot cut
