crowd embed at Agricultural Park this
afternoon TO see Joe Wheeler, 2:07K and
Anaconda, 2:11X, try conclusions in the
2:3O pace. Anaconda defeated Wheeler at
Oakland some weeks agoand ne repeated
the trick again to-day, only with more
ease. Anaconda was a strong favorite in
the betting, and after dropping the first
heat to the black gediug took the next
three, reducing has record in the second
heat to 2:0SX The tn rd heat, captured
by Anaconda in 2:15, was reeled off so
slowly that te judges thought the race
savored OF job. and before the fourth
heat was paced they substituted Stimson
in place OF Hogoboom behind Joe Wheeler
and removing Havey from the bike
ordered Mr.. Vance to hold the ribbons
over Betonica. the Paio Alto entry. The
change made no material difference, Ana
eonda winning as he pleased in 2:1l.
Ihe change caused a great howl from
the drivers removed and almost resulted
in battle royal between Starter Ferguson
and Driver Hogoboom, the latter request
ing the starter 10 step down on The ground
so ne could show him new trick In NJ ar
quls OF QIeensberry rules. The change,
though, was undoubtedly an in Justice TO
Reinsman Hayey, the Palo Alto morse be-
ing In every sense OF the word "up against
II" Havey's reputation has always been
above reproach, and the officials in the
stand were over-zealous in hunt for hon
est sport. Havey stated that no more
Palo Alto horses would appear at the
meeting.
The running races drew out some gooi
helds, and every one of the three events
was well contested. I.orena ii upset all
alnttI Il g.,
The siX-furlong handicap, starring at odds
of s 10 l, and Viking dumped the crowd
hard by taking the hurdle handicap.
Grady, winner of the overnight event, was
the only successful choice in the galloping
div. sion.
The 2:30 pace saw Anaconda in big de-
mand, bringing $780, with the field going
Tor $50. Played TO a standstill in the
books, Joe Wheeler won the first heat
easily in 2:09 and then chased Keatine's
horse home in the next three. always rul-
Ing topheavy choice in the pooling.
Fifteen were slated to go for the six
furlong handicap, and thirteen faced the
barrier. Ostler Joe, with 129 pounds and
Hennessy up, was to iavorlte IN the
ring. A long delay at the post and
sluggish tendency to get in motion helpe
defeat him, for in hustling drive he was
beaten out half length by Lorena II,
ridden by McNichols. The mare came
from back in the ruck, and seems to be
good one with light weight UP, when the
price is luscious in the books. Howard
scramb bled into the show.
The good jumper, J . G, was carded to
win the jumping race over one and a half
miles, being sent TO the post q 3 TO 3
choice. Viking, at 10 10. made run
away race of it, beating Governor Budd
by over two lengths in 2:47. o C ran
well for mile and then 'blew up" Gold
Dust appeared to have enjoyed a careful
ride, after receding in The be etting.
The final seven-furlong run was only a
gailop Tor the even money chance, Grady
with Hennessy up. The Three Cheers
colt beat the gale and led his field

Avarado, which horse, in a drive, bea:
Sea Spray head for the place.
