The attendance at the races yesterday

track in superb condition. Ii was Ia
vorites' day, all Of them winning, but
several had very close calls.
Eight horses started in the opening
svent, six and half furlongs for three
year-olds and upward-Ffg Lear TO D,
Fred Gardner 20 to 1, Outgo 6, Eroica
B, Tenrica 10, Saucy Eyes 5, Magennis
80, Rose Maid 2.
Rose Maid would have won the race
easily enough if she had got off well, as
it was, Fig Leaf, who led away, was
thirty yards ahead Of Rose Maid, the
last Of the bunch. but beat her out by
only q bare length in 1:23, Saucy Eyes
third, q length from Rose Maid. The
latter closed the big gap mostly in the
hast quarter.
In the six furlongs, selling race, for
two-year- r-olds and upward, the starters
We're Pat Murphy tqJ1, Viking 90.
Estro 90 St. Isidor 40, Kaiser Ludwig
15 and P. f. 2 to ..
Kaiser Ludwig led at the half, P. F.
second, Murphy third. The race was
between these three, and they made
the turn and into the last stretch IN
that order, P. f. crowding the Kaiser
hard At the seven-eighths he passed
him and won out by a length in ZIG.
Pat Murphy was a poor third.
Only three horses showed up for the
one mile race-Marplot to 8, Moringa
o to and Rey del TERRA to 1.
This was about as pretty a race as
one could wish to see. Rey del TERRA
went off in the lead, but before reach
ing the quarter Marplot showed a half
length in front, Rey del TERRA the same
in front Of Moringa. AS the trio round
ed into the far turn Marplot had a
length the best of it, the other two
running head and head. In the last
stretch Marplot widened the gap TO an
open length and won the race without
being extended in 1:41. Moringa beat
Rey del TERRA a half length for the
place.
Six two-year-olds went to the post in
the five furlong dash-Gilt Edge 2 to 1,
DIAL 4, Jabez 20, Miss Reel %, Inola
$50 and Gold Fin 2 to 3.
Gilt Edge went away as if he had the
others at his mercy, but Ojai soon over
hauled him and led around the turn,
with the steam beer representative sec
ond, Gold Fin in third place. 1t was
all Ojai at the head Of the stretch, but
by superb riding Thorpe landed Gold
