THE RUNNING RACES

Aro,hsr Afisrnoon Of Coed sport at the
S,nto Fair Grounds Trnsk-sTWo Even
Monoy Favoritss We're AmonG the Via
nsrs Tuesday.
The only sensational incident in con-
nectlon with the running races Vester-
day, occurred after the second race,
when Judge Waugh ruled of Jockey
Nelson for pulling Blue Ribbon. waugh
learned that the race had been pres
vIously axed, and Nelson was called In
front OF the sand and warned. He was
Instructed to try to win, or aeeept1th
alternative Of expulsion from the track.
Nelson managed the drive very neat
Ia. but Waugh followed him with the
classes, and found that Blue Ribbon
showed such speed that his rider had
sone trouble In preventing him from
finishing first. Blue Ribbon was not TO
show, but went under the wire second,
and the Judge promptly ruled Nelson
on. Horsemen are beginning TO UNDER
stand that the racing must be honest,
and Judge Waugh'S course Is COM
mended on all sides. especially among
the betting fraternity, who Fepose the
greatest confidence In him.
The racing was good, and the finishes
were all OF the liair-raislng order. Will
lam ". was about fourth choice in the
first race, but beat the favorites out In
a hard drive. In the other events on
the card, favorltes were the winners.
Silver Brook gave a magnificent per-
formance In the last race, passing two
leaders on the home stretch, and VIM
ming In a canter. Sampson overcame
the disadvantage Of bad start In the
fourth race, and won by aniee burst OF
speed at the hnish.
