Two members Of royalty, Dainty, the
queen Of The Western turf. and Misty's
Pride. the queen Of the jungles, met in
a Futurity course sprint yesterday at
Oakland track.
At the conclusion Dainty wore the
honors. but the daughter of Golden
Garter knew she had been present at
horse race, and not a pink tea. Dainty
is not partial 10 mud nor to sloppy go

and poolrooms in town laid even money

track was not muddy nor slushy from

and inclined perhaps TO be cuppy- AT
the track the boOkmakers held Dainty

Martinmas held second place in the

her best on a bullet-fast track, Tor she
narrowly escaped defeat.
NusTY'S PRIDE AS PACEMAKER.
Jake Jones rode Misty's Pride, and
he shot the mare out in front like a
streak Of creased lightning, followed

hard at work on the favorite, and about
a furlong from home she had the Ore

did not die easily. though. for she was

might have been increased had Dainty
not stumbled approaching the WIRE.

OUTSIDER FINISHES FIRST.
Traxers landed the mile selling affair
with Adirondack, a 13 to 1 outsider.
The field comprised a most ordi-
