Delightful weather and bad rides were
the features at the Fair Grounds yesterday
afternoon. The atmospheric conditions were
indeed exhiIarating, but the work of some
CT the jockeys quite depressing. Jockey
Morse seemed to be completely out oil form.
for his late squirt on Sir Ro!la and being
left at post with Lady Callahan must have
caused many an unpleasant feeling. Then
Crowhurst's ride on Forget Not was rather
surprising. while Johnny Woods was be-
bind time with his hustle on Dollie Wieth-
Off in the last race.
An excellent racing card with well bal
snced fields was presented and the track
was In grand shape.
Last Friday q bulletin was Issued from
the Judges stand stating that Muskalonge's
entry would be accepted only when the
track was soft. His entry was accepted
Saturday for yesterdays races. but he was
barred in the betting. In the second race
yesterday be ran away from his competitions
on a fast track. and the Judges issued an
other bulletin to the effect that Muskalonge
had once more been placed in good stand
3ng. At the same time the judges desire the
public to know that he is permanently sore
and Is liable TO break down in any race
Another ruling was brought about by the
Muskalonge race. aud Is as follows:
In future no horses will be barred in the
betting. They will either run with open
betting or their entries viii be refused en-
tirely. We shall start IN to weed out
sulkers. We have notified Mr.. Maddox that
unless Judge Steadman runs kindly his en-
Ivy will be rejected"
The sport was inaugurated with a 2-year-
Old dash at five furlongs. Obia on account
Of the Hight impost Of ninety-siN pounds
was made a slight fayorite over Money
Muss and AnpeTe. Obia was away from

front and led the van the entire route.
winning at the end by a length from the
long shot, Golden Harvest, with Money
Muss third. half length back.
Although Bridgeton was an to 3 chance
for the second. with Muskalonge out, there
was warm tip out on Libbie and she car
ried loads OF money backed from Is to A.
As the race was run, Libbie was never in
danger OF losing the speculative money but
Muskaionge and Libbie had a battle for the
purse. MuskaionSe winning c,everly from
Foster and Brumfeld's mare, with Bridge
ten a fair third and Iron Chancellor a poor
fourth
The finish OF the third race was very
exciting: Three heads were on the post
at the finish, with Graves, the favorite. in
front by a narrow margin, and Mound CITY
a lip in front Of Digs. Frost, on Graves,
almost lost this race for he had eased up on
Graves. while Mound City and Digs We're
closing like wild horses. In three more
jumps Digs would have wen. As it was,
Jockey Frost escaped by a narrow margin
from having the race stolen from him.
Sir Rolla looked like ready money to the
smart set in the fourth and was heartily
backed at TO ) and : to IT, Sir Rolla
looked MT and ready and seemed willing TO
make his run up the stretch, but through
some mistake Jockey Morse was rather
slow with his hustle. for Crossmolina lasted
Just long enough to win out by a neck. Sir
Rolla was i've lengths in front OF FORGET
Not for the place. Forget Not alth 0ugh
OF well in this race, did not run as usual
He ran around the clubhouse turn In Sec
ond position aud in the run down the back
stretch was apparently eased up to sixth
position by the time the far turn was
reached. Then he came again like q true
race horse, but entirely too late to make q
race with Crossmolina and Sir Rolla.
Dave Waldo. at the weights. was the best
IN the fifth. and he ran away from HI
Kollor, Winter and Phoebe In the order
named Hi-kollor was quitting at the fin
tsh, but lasted to neck out Winter for sec
ond money, while Pinochle ran an admir-
able race with the heavy impost of 123
pounds on his back.
After Doralice a 100 to choice had set a
merry pace for a half mile In the last race,
Theory went TO the front and won easily
by a length from the farorite Doilie Wieth-
of with Tom Gilmore a poor third. The
well-backed Lady Callahan with Morse up
was left at the post In this race.
