FADE MENY WAS POUNDS
THE BEST IN THE FIRST.

A field of seven fairly good horses
went to the post in the first event on
the card. a FIVE furlong sprint. Fade
Meny, Sherman & Bailer's 4-year-old
mare. entered at 500, was pounds the
best Of the field and won as she pleased
1t was a race truly run, the first, sec
ond and third choicest running accord
ing to the betting.
Fade Meny went to the post with
2 70 offered about her, while Sinecure
who ran second. was offered at 2 to 1.
and the third horse in the finish, Yo
No Sc, was at s to 2.
The field was off to a good start at
the first break, Singleton taking Fade

plenty in reserve to stall off Sinecure.
who hung stubbornly to the last twen-
ty yards. 70 No Sc was off poorly,
and made UP much ground, and at the
head Of the stretch was coming with a
burst Of speed that many thought
would bring her home in front, but she
could not last. Fade Meny was pounds
the best. and could have won further
off.
Betting on the race was light com
pared to that on the first race yester-
day. as none Of the horses had ever

DING-D0NG FINISH
IN THE MILE RACE

There was a ding dong, nodding fin
ish between Navigator and Economic
in the mile event, in which there were
five starters, the two leaders racing
down the stretch so close together that
they looked as though they were in
separable. They were pumping to-
gether at every stride, and as soon as
he had weighed in Stewart rushed to
the judges stand and claimed that he
had been fouled by Waldo on Naviga-
tor. He said that Waldo eg-locked
him in the stretch and interfered with
his using his whip or spur. The judges
did not consider the interference of
sufficient Importance to dlsqualify
Navigator, and the race was allowed
to stand. 1t was a pretty finish, as
all finishes where two horses are run
ming close together, noses apart, always
makes. 1t is much more thrilling than
when they are separated by several
yards, though the finish may be ever
so close. Navigator was heavily play
ed in the books, and if Economic could
have gotten up in his last few strides
he would have saved the layers much
money.
The time showed that the scraping
of the turns has had much to do with
the running of the horses heretofore.
The mile was the fastest yet covered
at the track, being in las.

FOR MATINEE RACES
SPLENDID OUTLOOK FOR GOOD
RACES DURING THE WINTER.
HORSES TO WINTER HERE.
RACES MAY BE ARRANGED For
ONE DAY IN EACH WEEK.

Nearly a Hundred Horses Will BE In
Winter Quarters and the Owners
Are Anxious to Engage in Racing.
UneHualIed Success of the Present
Meeting Most Encouraging to Pro-
motors of the Sport Here-Matter
Will Be Taken Up as soon as Pres
ent Meeting Is over.
AS soon as the affairs of the Savan-
nah Racing Association. pertaining to
the present race meeting have been
settled up. the question OF providing
for matinee races once a week during
the winter months will be taken under
discussion by the association. and it
is more than probable that lovers of
the sport win have an opportunity of
seeing racing here all the winter, when
the weather will permit.
There will be quartered in the barns
here for the rest of the winter nearly
one hundred horses. All of them will
be entered in any events where condi-
tions permit If the association sees At
to put on the matinee races, and wen
filed cards can be easily arranged for
at least one day out of each week.
Manager Hull said yesterday that he
is now thoroughly convinced that with
proper conduct racing can again be es-
tablished on the popular plane that it
once enjoyed in Savannah. and when
the Savannah people learn they are
getting a run for their money they will
patronize the sport literally.

TALENT HAD HARD PICKINGS
FOR WINNERS
JEFF RAN THE MOST
REMARKABLE RACE.

Perhaps the most remarkable eXhi-
bition Of the day was that Of JEFF,
B. L. Shaw's Oh. gelding, who started
in the second event. Getting off sixth
in good sized field he rushed TO the
front in the first few yards and came
down the home stretch a winner by
several lengths. fighting for his head
all the way.
Mazzara. who was installed favorite
in the betting, did not have speed
enough to overtake the gelding when
Castro shook her up in the stretch.
She finished two lengths behind the
winner, and a short half length in
front of Missile, who was holding
up we'll under the fast pace.
jeff was not much favored in the
betting, opening at twos and stay
ing there until the close. Mazzara' S
price was cut down before the odds
had ever been posted, and all of the
wise money went in on her. She was
at even money all the way through.
Salmus, T. Z. Christs b, g., was heavi-
ly played at tens and was hammered
down to skies. He got off poorly, and
had TO make up too much grounds to
finish any better than fourth.

how to go into a game prepared to do

Coach Dickinson said that he had not

ion in the fifth race, at seven furlongs,
the Doctor finishing fourth in the fast
time of 1880, which was a quarter fast
er than a seven furlong race at Pimlico
day before yesterday.
The field in which DR.. Guernsey
started was the best that has been sent
to the post here since the meeting be-
gan. and it was a real test of the abil-
ity of the horses entered. Guernsey
was a hot favorite with the public,
though his owner did not have much
faith in his ability to win. Just before
the race Capps said to a friend that
the best bet was Cerra Santa a place
at even money. Cerra Santa had top
weight, and with a little more assist
ance to his mount in the way of saw
ing him for the final run home he
might have landed the long end of the
purse. AS it was George Ketchum,
about who five to one could be had in
the betting, received the benefit of ar
excellent ride from Ellis, and finished

with Chief Aloha third, a half length
in front of Guernsey, who seemed new
er to have gotten into his stride.
The race was an upset to the talent
Everything went to Guernsey and
Queen of Dixiana, the latter finishing
back in the ruck. She had much early
speed, but lost heart when the real
running commenced.
Ketchum was easily the best of the
field. Getting off third he was held
well In hand until the head of the
stretch, where he was called on to make
the run for the money. He extended
himself in good fashion, swinging down
the stretch very much like Ethelbert
when in her famous swinging stride.
1t was n good race and the best horse,
with good ride, won.
