have shown ur so far. The absence of the
foreign talent has played the mischief with
business in the ring. Seventeen books
were in line at the last cut-in. The last
cut-in seems to have put two or three out
of business.
GREGOR X. IS LUCKY.
Gregor X. was lucky to beat By-Ways
and Dan McKenna IN the fourth race to-
day. The stewards suspended Jockeys
Munro and Minder for roush riding. but
the consensus of opinion among OUTSIDE
observers OF the race is to the erect thar
Jockey Mcintyre was really respohsiule
for the humping match on the Inst turn.
Mcintyre had the mount on the winner
Gregor X. The start was made In lront
of the stand, and there was great rush
for the rail rounding the first turn. NC
lntyre broke on the outside with Gresor
x and hustled his mount along in vigor-
Gus style. He cut across the track sharp
ly, appeared to bump directly INTO pan
McKenna, which was knocked againss
By-Ways. Rildreth's filly got all the
worst OF the humping match. How she
managed to keep on her feet Is mystery
By-Ways was pounds the best horse III
the race and after running around 1arr the

Invincible caught Captain Arnold ana
Alto unfit in the first race and beat the
pair handily: II Alto had been as good
as he was the day he beat Ancke at st;
Louis. Invincible would have had small
chance to take his measure.
ZYRA'S GOOD RACE.
Zyra was backed into favoritism over
Worthington in the second. Worthington
ran only a fair race and landed fifth. The
right money made its appearance on Zyra.
This one came from behind, ran around
the entire field and got up in time to win
by half a length in driving finish.
Homestead, lvernia and Past carried the
bulk of the money bet on the third.
Homestead received perfect ride from
half a length from Noweta- Johnny GaZ-
colo of st. Louis, stood to win 1900 on
Noweta.
Jockey Livingstone. who rode Home
stead to victory, also distinguished HIM
self by plotting Zyra to the front in the
second. Livingston seems to be the most

night. He is too heavy for the New Or
leans game.
Soldier OF Fortune outclassed his field
In the NTH and won as he pleased from
Louis Kraft and Banwen.
The unexpected happened when Bondage
defeated Ancke in the sixth. Ancke went
was practically neglected in tn. betting.
bondage was quoted at even money for
the place at post time. Charlie Ellison
bet chunk on Dutiful for the place and
Charlie Celia followed suit. Bondage trailed
his field to the stretch, then came on and
won driving by a neck from the badly
ridden Ancke.
