~ OLLOW ERS of first choices at
Oakland yesterday went through
five spasms of i'll luck before Epi-
~ cure, which won the closing num-
Der at 6 to 5, finally afforded them
temporary relief The track was slushy,
with good bottom, and this proved con-
fEsing for the dope" students, who tried
all day TO make some of the old-fash-
iOned mudlarks win, when the going was
not mushy and sticky enough for them.
For this reason the ring was loose in its
quotations about Mr. Farnum, Frank
Mayo, Hesper and Horton, the latter clos
ing at to l.
The six furlong handicap brought to-
gether Stuyye, Gravina. Dainty and Syl-
via Talbot. The last named filly, with
only eighty-nine pounds to handle, finally
closed a slight favorite over Gravina and
Stuyve. Against Dainty, the Jennings
entry, 90 to l could be had, and the filly
came within an ace Of turning the trick.
STUYVE STOPS BADLY.
Stuyve went out in the lead and in the
run home died away while apparently
only galloping. Willie Waldo then shot
locked as if the Morris filly would breeze
IN, Connell on Dainty crawled up next
the rail and, bringing Waldo to a drive.
was beaten but a scant head. Sylvia
Talbot gave it up after testing the speed
powers Of Stuyve.
From all accounts Peter ], which closed
favorite for the opening sprint was
backed in the poolrooms at Hot Springs,
Hongkong, Mozambique and Cairo,
Egypt. c. Kelly was skipper of the good
thing With port in sight Bonner
dropped along with Mr. Earnum a II and
Is TO l shot and dropped anchor first,
two and half lengths to spare Creed
more was scuttled just off the whistling
buoy. when it looked as if he might win.
EDINBoRoUGH rs THIRD.
Harry Stover's big horse Marlborough
certainly looked TO have dropped in a
soft spot in the six furlong affair follow
ing From TO 5 the odds dropped to to
10. He finished third, never being able to
take the lead. Birkenruth, astride Frank
Mayo. backed from u TO Z. hugged the
rail through the stretch and downed Pig
tonius somewhat easily at the wire.
Although heavily played to win the
mile and a furlong selling event, DR..
Bernays, the to favorite, ran
as if suffering from lumbago. Hes
per, a Is to l shot, we'll ridden by
Johnny Daily, scored hands down from
Sunello, with the Doctor third. Bacchus
got away we'll finally and then could not
stand the pressure.
Horton fooled nearly everybody by his
WIZ o. tAe mile run AS II was generally
figured that the going would not be to
his liking, the little horses price went
from TO Z and s. After Hainault. a Is
to 1 shot. ridden by J.. Wilson, had cut
out all the running, c. Kelly brought
Horton from far back among the rear
division, winning with ease. Mocorito ran
a surprisingly good race, finishing third
Bright Phoebus, made favorite in the bet
ting, cut no figure whatever in the run
ming.
Nothing was wanted by the smart ones
but Epicure when speculation began on the
closing seven furlong selling fixture. The
Darebin horse went to the post a to 3
chance, and, piloted by Bullman, won all
the way. c. Kelly broke it up badly
with The Major, though finally getting up
in time to take the place from Ora Viva.

Consumption is a human

Strengthen the lungs as you

The best lung fertilizer is

The bloodhound fad has been
ascendant in North Carolina fer
about FIVE ears now, and those
with receptive minds, who have
followed the publications about
these beasts in connection with
crime, must have found them very
funny. All stories of secret as.
sanlt, mysterious murder, robbery
and safe-breaking conclude with
the words: "Blosdhounds have
been sent for" The sequel pub.
lisAed next day, reads like this:
"Owing to rain last night (or the
ground being frozen, or the trail
being too cold, or too many peo-
pie having tramped around the
scene of the crime, or something)
the bloodhounds we're unable to
track the criminal" The truth
is, that after having been put on
the track, the bloodhounds lifted
their eyes to the sky, howIed a
few times and then put off after q
rabbit or made for the nearest
cabin in the hore that somebody
would give them piece of pone.
"Bloodhounds have been sent
