event Of the day, the Opening handicap,
was yet to take place. While thousands
of people had come in time for the first
race, other thousands were concerned
only to witness the big event of the day
And after the first race they began TO
arrive. They trooped into the grand
stand, mingling with the throngs that
were already there. And there were hun
dreds of familiar faces in the crowds
men Of affairs and women Of fashion.
The second and third races were run
Thousands of dollars passed through the
hands of the bookmakers. Everything
was life and movement and gayety. Spec
ulation and conjecture were rife. Every

They danced in disorder before the barrier

more excited in silent suspense. Then it
seemed as If the laboring attendants and
the Jockeys had succeeded at last in get
ting the animals into position
The barrier swung upward, the horses
bounded forward and the crowd shouted
and applauded more in excitement than
in approval But then came a confused
murmur Of disappointment. One horse
had been left at the post. Back the others
had to come for a repetition Of the same
tiring performance. Again and again the
starter strived to get the racers off on an
equality. Jockeys were chided and
warned. Horses were iashed until their
eyes flashed and their mouths became
fiecked with foam second time the
barrier went up, but now four horses

the chances of Rosinante, and although
the mare run a superb race, met with
hard racing luck. Lost Girl, Jennie Reid
and The Fretter were not wanting for
admirers either
At the post fully twenty minutes were
consumed before Ferguson swiShed his
flag to a start, owing chiefly to the OBJ
stinate antics of Lost Girl, Mamie G and
the favorite. Rounding the first turn there
was considerable crowding, during which
Thorpe found the largest opening and had
the favorite in front turning into the back
stretch, with MonroVia and Cromwell at
his heels. Overanxious, Mounce on The
Fretter now pulled up on even terms with
the leader, the pair racing head and head
to the stretch. A furlong from home, with
the field well punched, the result seemed
In doubt, Mt. McGregor, The Fretter,

Caesar Young of St. Louis, Oakland Club,
Phil Archibald, Hoffman e. Co.. Golden

A telegram was received by the Oakland

presiding in the stand at Stockton, stating
that Jockey Tullet had been ruled off the

and Panamint did not swell Billy's bank
roll to any noticeable extent.
While at the post on ROsinante in the
handicap Eddie Jones received a hard
kick on the leg that probably did not
improve his riding qualities.
Before racing began the riders were all
cautioned that they would have to line
their mounts up at the barrier, and any
violation of this rule would earn a fine or
suspension. FergusOn'S starts were all
that could be desired.

his hind legs.

were left at the post. The strain Of delay
was telling upon the excited spectators
with every moment. Then a third and
last start was made and a hoarse cry of
exultation came from the crowd. All but
one horse had been sent on the course
upon even terms. Down the track they
thundered in bunch. In the backstretch
they faded into automatons, the rays Of
the sun flashing upon the jockeys colors
alone giving them individuality.
Around the turn they went and then
just as they came into the stretch one
drew gradually away from the others.
The red, white and blue stripes Of the
jockey told that it was Cromwell. A great
shout went up from the grand stand. Men
and women cheered Historically and with
word and action urged on the leader. 1t
was a desperate chase, but the others
were not equal to the plunging leader in
front. Under the stress of spur and whip
it passed under the wire a winner. The
big event of the first day was over and
with 1t went much of the interest of the
spectators. But most remained for the
fifth and final race, which closed a day of
splendid sport and marked encouragingly
the beginning of winter racing in Cali
fornia.
