Special Dispatch to the Standard.
San Francisco. Nov. 22.-Even the
most stoical race-goers warmed up
with enthusiasm over the mile special
race. in which Ostler Joe. Mistral and
Morellito battled for supremacy at In
gieside to-day. 1t was by long odds the
best race Of the present season and no
more holly contested has ever been
seen at the track. The three horses
were matched to nicely and the best
jockeys at the track a the mounts.
Charley Thorpe rode Ostler Joe. the he
TO OF scores of royal equine battles.
while Piggott rode the greatly improv-
ed Mistral. Morellito had "Skeets"
Martin in the saddle. Opinion was very
much divided. but Ostler Joe and Mis-
trail had the staunchest adherents,
while Morellito drifted back 3 to 4.
The horses had not passed the quar-
ter post before the spectators began to
realize that there was a horse race in
progress. Morellito moved up to Mis-
trail amid excitement which was inten-
sifed when Ostler Joe also drew up on
even terms. A prettier race along the
back stretch could not be imagined; the
horses raced as IL tied together. For
almost three furlongs neither one could
gain the slightest advantage. but
rounding the far turn Mistral and
Morellito drew clear of Ostler Joe. and
turning into the stretch had al advant-
age OF W lengths. Down the stretch
the horses struggled. urged to their
greatest endeavors by the Jockeys.
Ostler Joe began to crawl up on the
leaders and n furlong from the
coveted goal all three had a good
chance and the excitement had be-
come intense. Morellito drew almost
half length ahead, and the followers OF
the Morellito colt became jubilant. but
only for an instant. Mistral was game
to the core and responded like a race
horse to the efforts of Plggott, and
was SOC alongside of Morillito. with
Ostler Joe gaining at every stride. As
the horses neared the saddling pad
dock the cry went up: "Ostler Joe
wins on inside" and so il appeared for
a second. as Thorpe was riding the
black horse will the customary skill
and vigor. but neither Piggott nor Mar
tin were asleep, and the last 20 yards
OF the race was trying to the nerves, so
close were the horses together. A
mighty cheer went up as Martin fairly
lifted Morellito in a winner by a nose
from Mistral, while Ostler Joe was at
their throat latch. The rase was so
close that IL might be run over again
with different results, so well matched
are the horses at the weights carried.
