Miss GoIightly won the Mound City
Stake At Delmar yesterday by . nose from
Ny. Schreiber's hlly SchwaIbe. The daUGh-
ter OF Sain was much the best. but Single
ton gave her an inefficient ride. He did
rot hold her head IN. nuv did he keep her
~ in the early pace as he should. Then
he handled her weakly in the stretch. She
only lost by n head. She should have won
by six lengths.
SchNraIbe and Miss GoliGhtiy were the
onl- lovers OF mud in the race. Santa Ven
tuEa likes ii well enough, but she does not
class. II was q good start. Santa Ventura
electrified the crowd by leading Miss Co
lightly. q rare mudler. She ran half a
mile in front. Then GoliEhtly assumed
command. WCntker and Schwalbe were
running as a team. Both closed fast on
either side OF Mss Golightly. SchWalb-
was in the good going. and looked like a
certain winner a furIong out. Singleton
could not assist her a bit. He went TO his
whip in the closing strides. She closed
fast. but too late. Walsh rode Miss Co
lightly well. never hit her with the whip

her the race by trying to rate her.
Though badly of form Uterp was backed
to win the second event. Blue Blaze and
sam Lazarus, Esq, got of badly. Both
had speed and went around the field. Laza-
rus displayed a wonderful burst OF speed
under his weight. At the stretch he looked
like a sure winner. Scully eased him up
and Jones brought Blue Blaze up with a
rush He just did land the money. Cterp
finished away back.
Mr.. Fizer pulled of a good thing In the
third race when he backed Hucena from
los TO IS. She won by 4 dozen lengths,
eased up. 1t was her first out and sassxpn
all the way. Potheen, the favonts. WAS
not quite ready after his long let-up, as
was shown in The Republic yesterday. and
was badly ridden. l. Daily took him in
the bad going. got him cut OF and gener-
ally m!sused him 1t was a very bad ride
for L. Daily. MIR. Bratton. who has him
under contract, should ses that he does
not make any more of them
The fifth RAGS was won by a well-played
FLY. M~udlavia, who seems aptly named.
She romped home in front Of a field that
could beat her q half furlOng on a dry
track. Geheimness. Robert G. Lansing and
Crime all took cracks at her and failed TO
make good Frank Bullock ran q great
race here. He broke last, gathered half a
ton OF mud getting up, and closed very
fast
swordsman won the sixth as he pleased.
He went round his field when ready, and
won eassd up. Little Lois made a bold
bid and looked Ike a contender to the last
100 yards. Here Weber went TO the hat
away.
Tom Collins was backed in the last. but
Tenny Belle had him giddy. and Censor,
closing fast. won hardly.
II was q capital days sport, and hugely
enjoyed by a large crowd.
