Four Winning Favorites at Ingle-
side-David Tenny Again Took

by Our Climate.

The Evergreen stakes, decided in the
old-fashioned way-by heats-attracted
the largest crowd of the bi-weekly meet
ing to Ingleside track yesterday. There
was little opportunity for the tossing of
hats, breaking of canes, men crying with
delight and the women sobbing, as in by
gone days. for the Eastern horse, What
Er Lou. ridden by Charlie Thorpe, won
in straight heats. But four opposed him
Red Glenn, The Bachelor and Morellto.
At the conclusion of the first heat the lat
ter came in limping, and was allowed to
be drawn. By the conditions What-Er
Lou was asked to carry 119 pounds, and
many, knowing his dislike for weight, fig
ured that after he had once covered the
distance-one mile and a furlong-he
would be all out. Still he ruled warm
6-to-5 favorite. Thorpe and the bay horse
took the first heat in rag-time, stepping
the journey in 1:56 Bullman, on Red
Glenn. contented himself with taking
matters very quietly, finishing a subdued
second, four lengths ahead of The Bache-
lor. After this, the heat winner was
l TO chance. Cooling out well, What
Err Lou came out and took the deciding
heat, in much the same manner as the
first. Red Glenn once made a bluff. but
fell back, and The Bachelor heavily
backed by the inside set, beat him for the
place. This heat was covered in 1:54A
and What-Er Lou was ridden out to the
last ounce.
The favorites were in a sociable frame
of mind, with a couple Of exceptions, cap
turing four of the purses. In the fourth
event, with a big field going to the post,
an accident was narrowly averted On
the back stretch, Gilberto and Scintillate
FELL but Jockeys Powell and Woods for
.tunatelyL escaped with slight bruises.
Earnshaw Bros. captured the opening
run, over one mile and a furlong, with
Imp. Mistral II. The English-bred horse
had strong call in the betting. and at
the finish won with nothing to spare from
Wheel of Fortune, the second choice.
