The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-10-05

A large crowd saw the Agricultural
park races yesterday afternoon, but
there was much disgust over the way
in which some of the events were
handled. When Miss Remson beat Gold
Bug IN the one mile running race, the
Gro Td was convinced of jobbery.
Gold Bug has shown that he is a
| faster horse than Miss Remson.. He
won from her in the Salt Lake derby.
ana he has made better time than hers.
cold Bug was naturally the favorite,
and he was made so in the book, but
before the betting closed Miss Remson
was to favorite, and Gold Bug sold
for even money.
! The one mile green pace, which was
TO have been one of the features of the
day, fizzled out. Only one of the entries
showed up, SO the race was run off
with Logan, Julia A. and Cyclone. Lo-
gan, generally beaten when he races
with real PAGERS, took the race in three
straight heats, with Julia A. sometimes
one and sometimes four lengths behind.
cyclone was distanced in nearly every
neat, but as the flag was not hung up
ne continued to race. The time was,
Tor the first heat, 2;471a: for the sec
ond, 2:42, and for the third, 2:421a. For
the first heat Logan sold as l to IA
yorite, with Julia A and Cyclone each
) to l, But Logan was a l to 10 favor
ite in the second and third heats.
Sea Queen Favorite.
Sea Queen sold as a / to 6 favorite
in the four and a half furlong dash.
Bookmaker Maley placed 5 to 1 on
Ethel Otto, 8 to l on Red Bird and to
. on Jersey Maid. Before the betting
closed there was 10 to l given against
Ethel Otto
Sea Queen led off at the start. with
Red Bird second and Jersey Maid third.
At the first turn Jersey Maid ran up
close to Red Bird, and Sea Queen drew
away from both of them. But Red
Bird shot forward again on the last
quarter, and it seemed for a moment
that he was going to beat the Queen.
She ran away from him again on the
stretch, winning by two lengths, with
Jersey Maid third. Tie time was 81
seconds.
The book made Gold Bug the favorite
at Ito at the start in the three-quar-
ter-mile race, and Miss Remson was
even MONEY!, but there was mighty
quick change, and before the betting
closed she had gone from even money
to 1 to fayorite
AT the start she jumped off half a
length ahead, and soon gained two
lengths. AT the quarter Dingley seem
ed to use his whip on Geld Bug, and
continued to do 50 around. But he
didn't come UP. Had he whipped the
horse half as hard as he seemed to he
would have won by four lengths The
time was 1:12
Queer Boolmaking.
Bill Howard was 10 to l shot in the
half-mile dash On March the book
ll1aop1 . m I IN Mountain O,1oa,, m
8, and on Lou Watkins 2 to 5. When it
was learned that the only two horses
really out for the money We're Lou
Watkins and Mountain Queen, the for
mer was put at l to 4. In fact, every
time anyone appeared with SO note
on any horse Maiey changed the book.
"Smithy" Benbrook couldn't get his
money on Mountain Queen at all. It
was refused. He offered $50, which
Maley refused TO take, and then the
book accepted $50 on the same horse
from some one else. No one seemed to
understand what kind Of a book was
being mace.
Lou Watkins led at the turn, follow
ed by March and Mountain Queen. She
remained ahead all the way around,
and Mountain Queen passed March.
She won by a length, with March sec
ond and Mountain Queen third. The
time was 81 seconds.
Quarter Was Fast.
The best race Of the meet was that
between the fast short distance horses,
Dina Watts, Big Dutch and Paddy. The
book showed Dig Dutch a favorite at
the commencement of the betting, but
it was soon to / against Dina Watts,
even money on Dutch, and l to 6
against Paddy. The hOrsemen had
their mo-ey onsPaddy, that s the own
ers of horses, while the stable boys
took Dutch and the public bought Dina |
Watts. Paddy ought to have taken the |
race, for it was on the cards that he |
should, but Big Dutch didn't want it |
that way. He could not be held. but
forged ahead and took the race by four +
inches. Paddy and Dina Watts got |
away together, vito Dutch behind but
ne came up, and his jockey pulled him |
hard, but me was not held back. They |
came in together almost a tie, and nalf
he audience believed that it would be |
declared off and rCii overfa again. AS it |
vas Big Dutch was given frst money. |
and Paddy and Din. Watts tied for I
olace. The time was 2S1a.
