cleverly in 2:0S1@ This event is a
sweepstakes for 3-year-ol at a mile
and a quarter, with guaranteed value
of So, 900.
Seven of the crack 32-year- olds now
in training on the coast made up a Sc
lect field, which for class and breeding
has seldom if ever been equaled in
classic events contested before a Cali
fornia audience. Burns & Waterhouse
were represented by the cream of their
immense stable-Traverser. Recreation
and NapamaX-a trio that was con-
sidered good enough to run one, two,
three by followers Of the sport. The
stable divided favoritism at post time
with w. l.. Applebys Linstock, with
jockey Tod Sloan in the saddle. Two
to one was the ruling price on these
contestants, the odds fiuctuating more
or less. The race had very open APP
pearance, however, and it is believed
that as much money was wagered on
as poured in on the favorites.
Contrary to the general expectation,
the start was one of the poorest ever
given in an event of this Importance,
the field being somewhat strung out as
the barrier was raised, and Napamax,
who was considered the most danger
Gus of the Burns & Waterhouse entry,
was caught in the webbing and left.
Before Clawson could disentangle his
mount the balance of the field had ira
versed fully a quarter of a mile. After
| trailing in pursuit of the field for fur
| long or two Clawson, realizing the
| hopelessness of such a chase, wisely
pulled his mount up.
Traverser was the first to show in
| front as the barrier flew up, and pass
| ing the stand had increased his lead to
| three lengths. His stable mate, Recre-
alton, on whom Thorpe had the mount,
took good care to keep the second di-
vision at a respectable distance from
| the flying leader, and in. doing so re-
lpeatedly cut off Linstock, which greatly
initiated against the latter's chances
Of winning.
| Traverser made all the running, and
maintained his lead of three lengths
until the saddling paddock was reached,
when the rapid pace began to tell, and
| he exhibited signs of faltering. Clay
ton, however, rated him along with adj
mirable judgment. and the colt lasted
| long enough to beat the fast coming
Borgia out by length. Recreation
was third, three lengths behind Borgia
The latter colt, who is full brother
to The Roman, furnished the sensation
of the day, as this was his initial start

further to travel Borgia is by imp
| Brutus-Ledette, and is owned by the

creditable showing against a field OF
Itop-notchers in his maiden start stamps
| him as the best 3-year-old of the sea-
son. Boots has experienced very poor
luck with his horses in the big stakes
during the past few years, for although
his horses have on all occasions finished
