San Francisco. Jan. More than
quarter of million dollars was bet on
the races at Ingleside this afternoon,
and when the last race was over the
penciers cleaned up thousands each on
the day and hundreds of bettors went
home broke the first day of the new
year. Seven races were on the pro-
gramme and "a books could scarcely
accommodate the thousands of excited
men who packed the betting ring like
sardines in tin boxes. The grand stand
was also packed with an excited multi
tude and betting was livelier than was
ever known before in the history of the
California turf
The sensation of the day was the win
of Marquise in the New Year handicap,
at two miles. Cash Sloan gave the little
mare a perfect ride at the finish. She
was far back to the stretch when she
came from sixth place and nosed out
the Corrigan stable at the wire. The
time 3:29A. smashed the track record
to smithereens, and if the race had
been on the Oakland track. the worlds
record would probably have gone. Cor

Bachelor. and they finished heads
apart for second and third money.
Marquise went begging at post odds
up $4,000 on the race. Judge Denny,
with Conley up, was heavily backed,
but was never in the limit, finishing
seventh.
Everybody took a ticket on the
steeplechase. a little over two miles.
Captain Rees carried the bulk of the
coin and had the race well in hand at
next to the last jump, where he and
Mestor ran OUT They continued
over the course. but were barred for
shying the hurdle. The race ended in
a win for Reno and a howl of FRAUD
from hundreds of bettors. but the re-
suit was allowed. Rees and Mestor
could probably have finished second
and third had they gone back and
taken the jump, but their failure al
lowed ESperance. a rank outsider, to
finish second and Silverado third.
There was a mighty dividend for pen
oilers.
The bookies were almost presented
with another harvest in the last race,
which was run in the dark. Torsida
was an even-up favorite. but was
beaten one and one-half lengths by Ed
die Jones. Piggott claimed foul and
it was allowed, apparently to the salts
faction of the crowd, who applauded the
decision. Yule finished fourth in this
race, but was heavily backed for place.
The time for the seven-eighths was
