The layers of odds at IngIeside yester-
day got hold of a red-hot iron. Among
the starters in the third race, for which
the geIding George Rose was to 3
choice, was the mare Fortuna. She had
not been doing much OF late TO cause any
uneasiness, and the public got aboard the
favorite early and often. Whether the
Chicago bookmaker and plunger, joviaI
Joe Uliman, had dream or not will prob
ably ever remain a secret locked within
the innermost portals OF his soul. The
ring is now wishing that 1t had been in
closed there previous to the race and that
Joe had lost the key. The man from Chi
cago waited until 10 to l was chalked
against the mare and then he began cut
ting his coin loose. George Rose was
pleased 10 take a good bet, laying $1,000
against 5000, and so were the other pen
oilers. Now they wish that Mr.. UIlman
had remained at Hot Springs all winter.
Backed down to tours Fortuna took hold
of the favorlte, George Rose, by the head,
and, shaking MIN off in the stretch as an
elephant would theater-lovlng flea, won
very handily, covering the seven furlongs
in l:29%. The winner once won a stake
event al Ingleside, starting at all sorts OF
odds, and is altogether quite an enigma in
the racing line. The man from the
Windy City must have cleaned up several
thousands.
There were several other SQUALLS that
upset calculations. The odds-on choice,
Moylan, was beaten through stupid riding
on the part OF Sloan, and Formal, which
should have won from here 10 next Fourth
of July, was also beaten through Sloan
striking pocket just after the start. The
first choices were fortunate indeed to win
two races.
Mount McGregor II now shares with
Chartreuse II the honor of holding The
Ingleside track record for a mile of :403I.
The hooded sprinter starting an even
money choice for the mile purse event, led
his only two competitors, ST. Lee and
Captive, from wire to wire and won ridden
out by over a length. In a humping
match through the stretch ST. Lee, with
H. Martin up downed Captive, ridden by
Sloan, head for the place.
Sam Doggett illustrated the fact to
Sloan in the fifth race that it is Just as
we'll 10 win by length or so as it is a
head. Tod had the nlount on E. Corri-
gan's Moylan, the , to favorite, and with
the race we'll IN hand grew a bit gay oppo-
site the paddock and Sam, coming with
rush on old McLight, beat the favorite out
three parts OF length. 1t was race
thrown away. Olive was a close third.
Fig Leaf took the fve-furong scramble
for which she was an even-money favorite
with nothing TO spare at that George
Palmer ran second all the way and In a
hard drive only conceded defeat by neck.
Sly, the second choice, with Sloan up was
a fair third.
A very ordinary lot of platers faced the
barrier il the opening selling event over
one mile and a furlong. Dan Honig's
Brametta occupied the seat of honor in
the betting, and IN a delightfully."- ener-
rorfv, foh hfrd to
Carrie U, the trio crossing the finishing
line heads apart Tho ring laid 5 to l
against the winner.

gated by the wise ones to carry the coin,
being sent 10 the post 10 choice.
Formal was backed by his people from
twos down TO 8 to 5, and should have
