SOME OF THE FEATURES OF
YESTERDAYS RACING.
Charming Weather and Good Sport
Two Out Of Five Favor
ties Won.

There was about the usual number
of people at the race track yesterday,
the eighth day of the California Jockey
Clubs meeting. The weather was per-
feet. but the track somewhat heavy as
the result of Sunday nights rain. The
track is drying out rapidly, however,
and should be in good shape to-day.
Only two of the five prime favorites
won yesterday, though no long shots
captured first money. In the third race,
a mile and one-sixteenth, Angus Ross
Sacramento horse. Koko, 12-to-1 shot,
on second money, and Gilt Edge, an
other local flyer, won the two-year-old
five furlongs race. He was second
choice.
Jockey Glenn was set down for the
meeting for which was alleged to be his
hstless ride on Hermanita in the race
won by Rey del TERRA.
Four books were able to accommodate

club is putting up good meeting and
conducting it just as would be done

The sport opened with six furlong
race for three-year- and upward,
in which six horses started-Himera u
to l. Lady Ashley to 10, Amasa 4 to
/, Magennis 60, Distinction and Kai-
ser Ludwig 2.
The horses went away in a strung out
fashion. The Kaiser set the pace, fol-
lowed by Amasa, the others we'll back.
On the far turn the big gaps were
closed somewhat, Amasa going to the
front and leading into the stretch, Kai-
ser second. 1t looked like a warming
up exercise, as none of the jockeys re-
sorted to the whips. They galloped
home in 1:1S24, Amasa leading by three

Valencienne, and thus they romped over
the score in Ill, Eta winning by two
lengths.
Next came the mile and a sixteenth

Rey del TERRA to 5, Hermanita s to
1, Koko u and Zarro 5.

the score, but Zarro led at the quarter

place, Hernanita last. In the stretch
Rey del TERRA moved up and led at the
half, Zarro second and Koko third. On
the turn Rey del TERRA opened the gap

half length ahead of Hermanita. rhe
