Louis Celia has a keen idea of how
horses should run. He bet the ring blind
on Pettijohn yesterday. Dolly Gray beat
Petttohq previous time out. Ask T. P.
Hayes what he thinks Of Dolly Gray's
chances with Stand Pat In a two-horse
race Dolly would be 100 to l. Stand Pat 1
to 100. Then Stand Pat had beaten Bas
dor on lumpy track. tits true. but what
can Bas dor do to Pettijohn on any kind
of a track? Stand Pat was to !. where
l to 3 would have been good price. He
won that way. But Cellas betting on Pet

been giving weight to Master and that
Kind and running them to noses, an out
Slder, where he should have been a pro-
hibitive favorite.
W. W. Elliott was afraid Of Miss Mae
Day yesterday. II am running her." he
said. "and taking chance of being ruled
off. She had a slight collie yesterday and
is in a febrile condition to-day. 1 am not
betting on her." Then several of his friends
who had bets hedged out on Maud Come.
Mae Day got off in front and galloped all
the way. At that. she did her best. 1t is
driven: She does not like to be hunched
and whipped and runs best when hard held.
The day that Smith won with her by TWEEN

That's right" said Elliott. '1 forgot 20
tell him that to slow her up was to give her
slack rein. She would be an awful easy
mare to cheat with. All you would have to
do Is to tell the boy to bunch her hard and
push her along. She would not run a lick
and every one would have to admit the boy
tried hard. To make her run her best you
have got to try to pull her.
There was some rumor Of D. Hall being
suspended yesterday. Will Cole heard It
and was sorry. as he has Hall on Imboden
to-day; He thinks that Hall alone can ride
careful handling.
Frank ONeill. the crack Eastern Jockey,
was at Delmar yesterday. His mother is
sick !. with typhoid fever and the lad was
danger, Her son will remain a few days
The lad is not spoiled by success. He is
SiieiIt anu iuOueSt as ever, not q bit cheeky
or Zip like the average successful Jockey.

says that It will take great horse to beat

Mayor Graham won for Franks father,
frankie bought the colt in the East and
sent him to his father. He was ridden by
stretch away back, but secured a lucky sk
opening on the rail and saxed ground and
won.
why did you not put frankie on Ora
ham, was asked of Mr.. ONell.
7 wanted good boy on him." joked the
odd man." FRANKIE may be all right in
the East, but you know when he was
here all the sharps said he could not ride.
l guess he could not ride here now either"
Graham would have been 1 to IA with
frankie UP.
Peach Juice looked best in the second race
yesterday. but Swain, the boy on him, was
stranger to racegoers and the colts
price went up from tens to twenties and
one or two laid 40 to l. The colt won his
race all by himself. Swain was not of much
assistance to him. st. Roche, a good thing,
ran second. Somehow or other, B. Hall fell
OFF. the favorite, Bustler, at the post just
as the horses broke.
Bookmakers. who can lay to against
Stand Pat, who looked as good as Bas
Dor. and who ran away from his field,
should not be on the block. Dslmar seems
