TURNED DOWN A
FEW FAVOR|TES
Ladies Day Was Not So
Prolific of Winning
Choices.
Racina, Governor Budd, Grey
hurst and Santa Bella
Were All Beaten.
Libertine Placed the Handicap to His
Credit-T Murphy Piloted Hello to
Victory in the Hurdle Race.

It was "ladies' day" again at Ingleside
track yesterday and the beautiful weather
drew large attendance. The cars non
veying people home at the conclusion OF
the races looked like popcorn balls COW
cred with flies, and just few additional
cars next time would be a great con-
venience. AS the meeting progresses the
favorites appear TO be on the wane, for but
two showed to the best advantage. Two
or three timid pencilers did not weigh in
yesterday and later had cause for repent
ance.
H. Hunn's entry The Sinner was the
first to bowl over warm choice. Racina
was an even money favorite for the open
ing fiVe-furlong dash for maiden three
year-olds, but succumbed very easily to
The Sinnery who started at odds of TO
l. Modestia was q good third.
A siX-furlong spin proved very easy
thing for E. Corrigan's Moylan, the even
money favorite for the next number on
the programme. The hooded horse passed
Toano when squared away for the final
run and never had TO be extended, win
ming without effort from the old sprlnter.
The rider of Yemen, who fnishe Sec
ond, claimed that his mount was fouled
by Toano in the stretch and the latter
Splinter was disqualified, which ruling
gave third place 10 the 100 TO l shot Coda.
Even money and IL TO 10 were the odds
laid against Liberline capturing the mile
and a sixteenth handicap. The bay was
again up on keen edge and taking up the
running down the back stretch led his
field to the wire, finally finishing three
fourths of length in front of Installator.
Lobengnla, rather injudiciously ridden by
Jones, received show honors.
BY clever plotting, I. Murphy got Hello
across The line first in the hurdle race,
beating very moderate lot of company.
Governor Budd was 3 to favorite, with
several hot tins out on Malo Diablo, Can
dor and Mr.. Reel. AT post time stiff
play forced the price against Hello from
to B. Malo Dlablo started to make the
running, but Quit earlier than his friends
expected.
Candor hit the stretch first looking all
over a winner. About this time Murphy,
on Hello. began making his play, and
wnen the last jump was reached that
jumper was in front. From that on he held
the tield safe and downed the outsider,
Mr.. Reel. very cleverIy. The favorite
finally took third place.
Frank X, of the magnificent cripple d.
vision, ridden by Willie Martin, handled
his field to good advantage in the fifth
event over a mile. Greyhurst was q hot
8 to favorite for the run, with Rey del
TERRA a pronounced second choice.
The gray favorite was out in front of the
field until nearing the bend for the stand,
when Frank K scrambled into the lead
and, without much left in reserve. downed
the stretch-running Morte Fonso nearly
length. Greyhurst took third place from
Rey del TERRA in drive.
Willie Martin, with his many kinks and
curves, led to the defeat of Santa Bella in
the final six furlong run. The mare was
6 to chance, put ridden in a most sus-
picious manner from start TO finish Just
managed to lake the show. Sport Meal
lister was always in the lead and won rid
den out from Arapahoe.
