nearly ten minutes OF this kind OF play
Weller responded TO the lash and the
starter got them away. with Del Vista

raced to the quarter. when Weller

PRINCE WITH VIOLIN.
The gentlemen's driving race was one
OF the upsets which must be expected
in contest where there is track
full OF horses. The horses. nine in the
field. were away with a fair start. Los
Angeles away behind and Frank Muir
ply in the lead. Murphy and Violin
went to the quarter as a team, but the
field was full OF surprises. Away on
the upper turn Sambo broke badly and
was seemingly out of II all. Abdine
was acting badly. too. The only change
was that Violin took command at the
half and thus the two raced to the
wire. In the last half. however. there
was shown the true caliber OF Sambo. |
a furlong behind the leaders. he was
sent by Ouderkirk for the lead. and so
strong and true did he go the last
half that he was in fourth place and
running down his field like the game
old PAGER he Is. Abdine was away
back. The feature OF the race must be |
the fact that the three horses in fornt
were all owned and driven by Hawaii |
ans. Prince Cupid in front. Vivian
Richardson second and Llewelyn Gay /
third. The crowd saw this and the vic
tory was. after that OF Quinn. who was
cheered and decorated by his friends.
the most popular OF the day.

edged up with Mollie Connors nose at
her shoulder. The three-quarter pole
was reached with Rejected failing Car

a nose and kept II until the stretch was

along steadily with little urging and
crossed the wire with COnnors' nose
opposite her eye. Time. i:02.
AMARINO ONCE MORE.
The Oceanic Steamship Co.'S cup race
was an easy win for the game old
horse Amarino. After one false break
they got away. Amarino and Alta
Stacey ran like a team for quarter
OF a mile when the old horse came on
and won. in hard gallop amid the
plaudits Of the crowd. all OF whom
seemed 10 remember former victories.
wELLER's SPEED.
The last race OF the day was the

raced as a team past the stand. II
