BOGUS BILL
RAN LIKE A
BAD DOLLAR
His Showing Ascribed to Sick
ress-New Moon Again
a Surprise.

A whole raft of good currency went in
on Bogus Bill, the fast Cyclone colt, to
win the last racing recital on the pro-
syramne at Oakland yesterday. He proved
a bitter disappointment, for after getting
none the best OF the Send-off Bill was
never a factor in the running. In eXten-
uaton of his poor showing his owner said
the colt contracted a cold, which placed
him on the ailing list, and this probably
accounted for his Indifferent performance
The winner turned up in RiXford, the
pigmy son Of Brutus, which blew in with
a gentle summer zephyr, beating ConsteI-
lator out a neck. The close corporation
handicappers figured the winner well up,
still his odds staggered back from to 10
TO 1. Bogus Bill received such steady and
continuous backing that to was OBJ
tainable only through extreme courtesy
at post time. Bathos after racing out
in the lead with Bamboulia lasted out
long enough TO take the miniature end of
the purse.
The weather was thick and hazy, yet all
but two favorites escaped any asthmatlc
affections. Seven bookmakers cut in
again, finding the crowd and business
quite as large as usual.
People who adhere too closely to figures
will ultimately land III some hidden har-
bor OF refuge, and ne doubt the victory Of
New Moon in the handicap, at one mile
and sixteenth, sent quite a number to
the phrenologist. On Wednesday the
marebeat so good a horse as Hohenzolleru
after WObbling all over the stretch, with
10l pounds in the saddle. Yesterday, with
30 pounds up. she was practically un-
backed at odds Of to /, and made every
post a winning one. Morinel ruled favor
