but was unable to do anything for it's
hackers in the pools, for the judges de-
clared all bets off in the third race.
Charlotte M. was an odds-on favorite,
All Smoke second choice. The Helena
mare ran a surprisingly poor race, and
the Judges saw enough to convince them
that the hackers of the mare had no
protection whatever after iagfalI, so
bets were declared off. Several of the
spectators thought that the animal was
all right, but that it merely ran short.
while others, both sides neutral, declared
that 1t was unfit to start in a race, be-
Ing lame and otherwise unconditional
for a mile go.
The judges have taken the matter I'M
der consideration and will investigate
the conduct of the jockey and the man.
ner of the trainer. The reports that
Jockey Wilson had been set down and
the trainer fined are untrue, as the
Judges have rendered no decision in the
case Of either.
The big upset of the day occurred in
the fourth race, when Oman Wood, a
field starter, won from Mekallah n
Rubicon, the big favorites. The first
race went to a short, Althea. May Boy
and Orc Elmo were figured to win.
The attendance was fair and the bust
ness in the betting ring was good all
afternoon. While there was but one
very close finish, that of Oman Wood
and Eta H., the several events proved
to be interesting and were much en-
joyed.
ment, the Saturday cards given are just
a little bit better than the average
weekday programme and that for to-
day Is no exception. The Montana Hoo
tel stake, $1,000, Is the feature. Another
race that's going to be very interesting
and set the wise men and others to
figuring is the six-furlong, with NAL
1akwa, Ventoro, Larva and Sunlight to
start. Still another is the handicap for
Byron McClelland, Oscillation. Highland
Ball, Eta H.. and Dorah Wood. Ser
rano, Ostler Joe, Torsida, winner of
the DAILY stake, and Hero will start in
the mile. Besides these high-class events
there will be two selling races, in which
large fields will start. Yesterdays re-
suits follow:
Six Furlongs-Althea.
Althea opened up favorite, then went
to third choice, while May Boy and ORC
Elmo sold for from s13 to $25 each. The
delay OF 10 n at the post was
caused by five false breaks and bad
acting by Col. Cody n Orc Elmo. A
fair start was given and Orc Fin led
to the three-quarters, May Boy going
second. May Boy beat ORC Elmo into
the stretch by a head and Althea was
right into the leaders argument. The
finish was easy for Althea, which won
by two lengths from ORC Elmo, three
before May Boy. third, Pettlgrew six
lengths back, Is In front of Cody. Time,
