balmy and the track in very good condi
ton, The features Of the day were the
splendid race made by James and the
strong finish of Brisk Jockeys OConnor
and Mcintyre divided the honors by win
ming two races each. The fields were large
and the finishes close and exciting.
James Colviile Of Boston. known to
every sporting man from Maine to san
Francisco was in the betting ring yester-
day, and will remain In the city to the
close of the meeting. He has hosts OF
friends on every raceuack in the country.
The betting was Gveiy, and the way the
money was showered in on James was
a sight TO behold. The bookies must have
come away with lighter bank rons. 1t is
said that on the James race alone Billy
Barrick won $500.

furlong course, starting out OF the chit
The flag dropped to fair start, Russo la
Walden at once jumping out in front and
leading to three -eigRths, followed cos ly
by Tyrba, Strangest. and Matanza. Around
the turn O'Connor brought La Cheviot up
and was never afterward headed. StTang-
est was made the favorite but as usual
was unlucky throughout. Tyrba ran a
game race, and was backed by wise people
Tor a good thing.
Second race-tor maiden -year-o. ds;
five and one-half furlougs. The Corinth-
ian (MeIntyre), 3 to l and even. won;
Fonsoiee (OConnor), TO l and 1-2 to

good start Randy slightly in the lead
which he held for the first qua t,r when
I The Corinthian went to the front and wen
galloping by half dozen open lengths. AS
the race was run The Cornthian looked
as if he ought to have been one to four
shot although Randy was played for a
price down to to l.
Third race-For al ages; one mile and
zoe yards Duke of MiddlebuIg C0'ConuorJ,
1 to and out, won; The Gardner Cow
NAM, TO 1 and even, second; Langdon
(OLeary), to l and TO 8, third, Time,
1888.
A good start. The Gardner going to tn 2
front, Langdon close up 1t was only an
exercise gallop for the Duke who won as
he pleased There was little or no betting
on this race. What there was was condEed
to who would get the place, and The Gard
ener got it in the last jump.
Fourth race-For two-year- -olds; selling;
six furlongs. James (McIntrye), IL to l
and even, won; Bermuda Hundred tClaw-
SOM, to l and 2 1-2 to /, second; Lottie

Time, 1:16 2-5.
To a good start, James, who was on the
outside, jumped TO the front, Bermuda
HundI ed Tapped. Around the turn for home
James easily took the lead and won In
handy fashion. Bermuda Hundred came TO
life in this race and showed marked i'm
provement on her last races. James was
made the medium of a plunge and the ring
was badly scorched over his victory. He
was also played for good thing in pool
rooms all over the cbuntry. AS this was a
selling race, James was put up at auction
and brought $1,S00-S1 geo over the price he
was entered at. Billy Barrick was the pur-
chaser and he secured a good colt.
Fifth race-For three-y -year-olds and up
ward; one and one-sixtsenUh miles Brisk

renzo tHcInytre), to / and to 3, sec

TO 3, third. Time 1:50 30
The flag dropped tc good start, Alvara-
do - nd the
stand by an open length: ST. Lorenzo sec
ond; Queen of Song third. Coming into the
stretch they were all punched. On the run
down Brisk took the lead winning easily,
OConnor looking over his shoulder at the
procession behind him Just now Brisk
outclasses such horses as he met in this
race Queen of Song acts as if she had
little too much of it.
