| Hicks Fine Ride.
| AS was expected, the racing Saturday
was crowded with interest from start to
| finish. the long shots bobbing to the front
and the contests down the stretch being
| of the exhilarating sort. The big disap-
pointment of the day. to the talent but
| not to the public was the running of the
| grand consolation. Lord of the Valley
| was picked as almost sure winner, but
| Jockey. Wonderly took him out in front
| with GraZillo and the pair raced them
| selves into the ground by the time the
stretch was reached. Hicks handled Or
| thodoX with a master hand reserving all
| his power for the run home. and when 1t
| came to the finish the little co1ored boy
! sailed to the front and won with plenty
| to spare. Bullman on Robin Hood, also
| did some good jockeyng. getting on the
| rail after the stretch was reached. and 1t
| looked for time though he was going
| to capture the prize, but the place was
| the best he could do Orthodox on his last
| time out finished back in the ruck and the
| reversal of form caused lots of talk. At
ter the race Hicks was lifted into a mag
nificent floral horse shoe and carried IN
| triumph to the paddock.
The last race, which was won by Circus,
proved the most entertaining of the day on
account of the humorous work of a mite of
| a jockey named Taylor, who was on his
| back The little fellow started whipping
| Circus as soon as the barrier went up and
continued the punishment until the horse
sailed under the wire a winner. All the
| way round the crowd yelled encour-
| agement to the boy. Give it to him. kid!
| and Come on kid.' could be heard from
| all parts of the stand, and it is seldom a
| rider gets the applause that the little fellow
| did when he rode back to the judges stand
| to dismount.
The steeplechase proved almost a walk
| over for Imperialist on account of the ex-
! cellent riding of the gentleman jockey,
| Dion Kerr of this city. Mr.. Kerr carried
| his mount over the jumps with an accuracy
| that would shame the average professional,
| and once the fiat was reached the game old
! Imperalist simply romped away. Manilian
kept in front most of the way. but at the
| finish found his master. r. B. Sack and
| Black Death both fell, but the riders got
| off with slight bruises.
| Only one favorfte finished in front. and
| the bookmakers kept almost all the money
turned into them by the betting public.
Fire in the Club House.
| Yesterday morning, while big crowd of
visitors to the track were watching the
| trials of the ponies. a slight fire occurred in
| the club house. which was quickly subdued
| by Superintendent Strahan and several as
sistants. The principal room in the club
| house was empty when large spark from
| the omen crate fire was blown onto the oiled
| floor and sharp blaze quickly followed.
| Luckily the fire was discovered In time to
| prevent a confagration. the damage done
being slight.
| The Stewards of the Washington Club
| have introduced an innovation that is caus-
| ing considerable talk, but by many it is be-
! lieved to be a good thing. Hereafter there
| will be no exercise gallops between races,
| all the preparations being done in the morn
| ing. The talent likes to look at it's choice
| in action before the race is on and the no
! tice created something like CONSERVATION
| among the close followers of the ponies.
