A BANNER CARD TODAY
b $1,000 Anaconda Handicap and a
Two-Mile Race. Besides -Four Other
Events of Importance-Fast
Horses to Compete.

Yesterdays races put the sackcloth
on a large division of the talent. The
dumps were painful, killing, awful,
terrible. The biggest betting race of
the season went to a comparative
outsider, Midas, in the sixth. The 9TH
er fall occurred in the fourth, when
Carness won from Los Prietos n RAJ
pido. They're talking about that race
yet. Moscow Boys win from Eroica in
the third opened the eyes of many, and
when Queen Esher beat her field there
was a wall of agony. The hurdle race
went as he heavy players predicted,
and that and the first race are all the
talent can justly lay claim to. There
was a division in the first. Tiger Cat
being an equal favorite with De Capo,
the winner.
There's a card out for to-day on
which everybody will get even. There's
a two-mile race, something unusual
here, and the first of the kind this
year. The mile Anaconda handicap,
1000, is one of the attractions. The
entries are Rastus. Grand Sachem. Pat
Morrissey and Serrano. Then there's
a 2-year-old handicap for Rey Hooker,
FL Mido, Montanus and Kootenai. The
grand stand will surely be packed to-
day. They did it yesterday as fol-
