SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. The
winter racing season opened today at
the Ingleside track. During the past
six months many improvements have
been made at this delightfully."- situated
racecourse. The Pacific Coast Jockey
club has expended $4,000 in beautifying
the grounds and improving the track,
and this great amount of labor was ap-
parent to those who visited Ingleside
today.
The crowd, while not up to the usual
opening day attendance, was very fair.
The betting was good and sixteen book
makers had about all they could attend
to. The big bettors, however, seem con-
tent to wait until they can get line on
the horses. The weather was cloudy and
cold today and the track in perfect con-
dition.
The chief event on the card was the
University stakes, sweepstakes for
3-year-olds at one mile with guaran-
teed value of $1,000. A good field faced
the barrier for this race. In the first at
tempt all got under the barrier except
News Gatherer and Flamelia. These
two were caught in the barrier and be-
fore they could extricate themselves the
rest of the field were half a furlong
away. Starter Caldwell hesitated about
calling them back, and before the bell
rung for the jockeys to return they were
a quarter of a mile away and did not
hear The horses We're under full sway
and ran for half mile before they could
be recalled. The crowd was very much
displeased at the calling back of the
horses, as both of the horses that were
l. left had scarcely any following in the
betting. Besides, in the first race, Mr..
Caldwell had left the two favorites,
namely, Satsuma and Summertime, at
the post, when the remainder of the field
could have been called back without
| trouble.
The horses were finally sent away in
| the University stakes to struggling
start, with Horatio in the lead. He ran
in front to the half, where he was over
taken by Altamax, and the two ran to-
gether to the last turn. Freeman
brought up Hohenzollern, and he was
second to Altamax into the stretch. The
Burns and Waterhouse crack respond
ed readily to Hennessy's urging and won
| handily, while HohenZollern had hard
drive to beat Horatio for the place. In
| this race Flamelia broke her leg at the
I last turn and had to be destroyed. She
| was the property of Charles Fair.
Outside of the stake event the second
race at a mile and sixteenth furnished
the best betting. Marquise ran a
splendid race She was last three fur
longs from home but came around the
field and won easily by three lengths.
Osric II looked a winner into the
stretch, but he was short and died away.
The start in the last race was perfect
and Mr.. Caldwell was loudly applauded.
Ostler Joe was the favorite and was
heavily played but Installator won cas-
| lily without much urging. Summaries:
