look. and not enough coin circulated
about the ring to pay the bookmakers'
expenses There are a number of
horses stabbed at the Emeryville track,
but their owners are not in possession
of coin enough to bring them over to
this side of the bay. Such is the -four
fishing condition of racing. The con-
ditioning of the races at Ingleside

degrees below stake form. Favorites
succeeded in taking four of the six
purses.
Ed Garland, the black acrobatic
wonder of Dan Honig's menagerie Of
equine stars, gave another of his mys-
tifying performances in the mile handi-

Fan, fayorite in the betting, coupled
with Primavera. led almost from the
start and won easily from Obsidian,
which colt should run better next time
out. Villmar was a good third.
The old favorite, George Miller was
an overwhelming choice for the six

a capital hand at fencing. the little
fellow won, easing up, twenty-five
lengths in front of Governor Budd.
Monita and three Forks came to grief
at the fourth jump, both riders escap-

Peters, fell at the last obstacle.
Ed Corrigan played his two-year-old

the second kindergarten dash. and il
was only because the latter was
pounds better that he won. Willie
Martin on Ach was given a flying
start, and, repeatedly fouling H.
Brown on the favorite in the run home,
was finally beaten a neck despite his
questionable tactics
With the best ones scratched from
the last event at one mile, it was easy
for Fashion Plate, which, starting a
