The brave spirits of the California
Polo and Pony Racing Association
were again unfortunate yesterday In
the class of weather under which their
races were run at Tanforan. blus-
tering wind blew over the course. In
the last race the horses could not be
distinguished at the post in the driv-
ing rain.
The inclement weather was the only
drawback, the sport being of the high
est class. The finishes were close and
exciting and the time fast. With 15C
pounds up w. E. Pedley's Carlotta, a
thoroughbred in miniature, ran half
mile In 81 1-2 seconds in the mud.
The surprise of the day and appar-
emily the most popular victory was the
success of Rudolph Spreckels' Lotrix,
piloted by Frank Skinner. in the mile
race. Carlotta was the only other con-
tender and. having had a two-hours'
rest after the half-mile race, was
looked upon rs a sure winner. She
commenced to hang out signals of dis
tress at the half-mile pole. Entering
the stretch Lotrix, which is a daughter
Of Bright Phoebus. assumed the lead
and won easily by two and one-half
lengths.
The honors Of the day were equally
divided among three stables. w. E.
Pedley won two races with Carlotta
and Queen Rucker; r. and w. A. Nc
Creery won two with their chestnut
pony, Sunset. while the cerise, green
fieur de lis Of Rudolph Spreckels was
carried successfully by Peghome and
Lotrix.
F. D. Hudson. the Southern Califor-
MIA rider, and w. A. McCreery each
piloted two winners, while r. NJ.
Tobin and Frank Skinner each had
one victory to their credit.
The only accident of the day oc-
Cured In the first race, when w. A.
McCreery's chestnut mare Mamie
threw herself over backward. Her
owner, who had the mount, was not
injured and pluckily remounted and
rode out the race, finishing second to
Carlotta by three-quarters OF a length.
When the mare was pulled up she
threw herself again without injuring
her rider.
Mr.. McCreery came out on Sunset
in the second race at three -sixteenths
of a mile and won handily from Flo
radora.
r. M. Tobin landed Peghome first at
the wire in the ree-eighths-mile race
following. Maudie Swift, promising
green pony in whose veins flows the
blood of Ell Rio Rey, finished second.
Maud H, the smallest pony racing at
the meeting, found the quarter-mile
two far for her. She showed in front
for time, but was passed in the last
furlong by Queen Rucker, which won
easily.

Australian Mine 5000 Feet Deep.

What is believed to be the deepest
gold mine in the world is being work
ed at Bendigo, Australia. The mine
In question. which is called the New
Chum Railway mine. has sunk its
main shaft to depth of 5000 feet,
or only sixty feet short of three-quar-
ters of a mile. The chief problem is
how to keep the tunnels and general
workings cool enough for the miners
to work in at such a depth. 1t is
usually about los degrees and, to en-
able the men to work at all, a spray
of cold water let down from above
has to be kept continually playing on
the bodies-naked from the waist
upward-of the miners. Even then
they cannot work hard. or they would
faint from exhaustion.-Leisure Hour.

A widely circulated tip sent I'M
promptu to the post favorite over Billy
Moore for the first, seven-furlong
selling run. The old cripple once
showed a flash of speed, then sulked,
finishing last. Travers, on the 10 to 1
shot, came within an ace of making a
runaway affair of it. 1t was only
under the most vigorous sort of riding
that Bonner, on Billy Moore, got up in
time to receive a nose decision. Decoy,
for a time the runner-up, ran third.
Billy Magrane's gelding, Matt Ho-
gan. captured the Futurity course
sprint following, due in a great meas
ure to Johnny Days handling. Matt
went to the post a 13 to 10 favorite,
raced Alice Carey into subsection and
then disposed of the late arrival,
Flaneur, by almost length. C. Smith
on the latter was slow to leave the
barrier or the McCafferty entry would
undoubtedly have been returned first.
Willie See. on Bard Burns, was third.

Heavy Entry for Harlem Stakes.

CHICAGO, March 19.-With 1902
nominations for the twelve stakes Of
the 1904 season, the Harlem Jockey
Club officials claim to have established
new record for the number of en-
tries to racing features of this class.
The chief increase is in the events for
the three-year-olds and two-year-olds
and is said to carry corresponding bet
terment Of class. OF the big stakes,
the $4,000 Harlem National handi-
cap has 112 entries and the Twentieth
Century 11S and the Lewis and Clark
stakes, regarded as a tryout for the
American Derby, has 81 entries.

cashed their tickets all right. but at
one stage of the running could un-
questionably feel the cold shiyers
stealing over them. Ridden by C.
Smith and played down to to 10,
Mr.. Farnum went out in the lead as
in his preceding race.
He opened up quite an extensive
gap going the first half-mile, but in
the stretch was under forced draught
all the way and then only beat The
Fretter length, Smith resorting to
questionable tactics to accomplish
same. The latter horse was carried
wide in the run to the stand, but owing
to the muddy condition of the track
Travers' claim of foul was not allowed.
File dor took the show from Mr..
Dingle.
Misty's Pride, the Oregon fiier, up
set an awful good thing in the fifth
race of the day. After twice defeat
ing Hainault, Ocyrohe. with only
ninety-five pounds up, looked like
something tart and spicy from the
can. Accordingly all the smart ones
got aboard at 8 to 8. Travers, astride
Misty's Pride, gave his field the slip
at the start, and. while Crosswaite
made up considerable ground with the
favorite, the Oregon mare reached the
wire first by three open lengths. Le-
tola got away poorly and was never
