PELOTA GAMES At JiI-ALAI.
GEea and MichcIeana Beat Barncal-
des and AIIamira. 30 to ID.

Egea and Micheleana. Whites. beat
Maraceldes and Altamira. Blues. IN the
main event at the Jai-Alai last night, 90
to Is. Micheleana was in his best form
and very much superior to AltaInira in
the back field Egea did good work in
side and held his own with such fine
dilantero as Baracaldes. The game was
never In doubt.
In the second game, Bilbaino and Ana
bitarte beat De Eibar and PasieGo. % 10
%. in a rafting game Anabitarte was
strong in the back field. but PasicSo put
up his very best game, and made it an in
teresting struggle.
To-nights game will be Isodoro and
Marquines VS.. Cecilio and Olascoagoa for
the big match. Isdoro is now in his best
form. ana while superior dilantero, Ce-
clio is no poor one. Then Olascoagoa' +
superiority to Marquine's as back man
will make il an even game. Isodoro Is
now one of the strongest and finest
pelota players living. Any man who can
serve a ball which will rebound hard
enough to knock a man down, though he
is standing forty feet back. is a marvel
of strength. The second game will be
between Yurrita and Ibaceta and Ali and
Abadiano. Play will begin at $50.

AT TIE FAIR GROLNDS.

In field which seems as evenly bal
s.eed as handicapping could accomplis ish,
Elastic and Otto Stifel stand out as con-
tenders in the Fair Grounds feature this
afternoon.
Rain last night is apt to put the track
to-day in rather doubtful condition. Il may
be dried out. II fair weather prevails this
morning. and 1t may be heavy and hold
Ing. That it will be cuppy and sticky in
spots is certain.
On this account, Ice Water. who would
figure best on 4 fast track. seems 4 bit
out of it. Elastic and Otto Stifel will not
be hampered much by such footing. and
should be able TO put up strong bid for
the first position.
Charley Thompson viii also loom up IN
this sort OF a track. But il looks as If
Elastic stlfel ard Thompson ought TO be
the order in which the field will finish this
afternoon.
Another case where track conditions will
affect the result greatly is in the third
race. Lady Savoy would seem just a bit
tie best here on dry going. But. after the
rain of last night. but one filly can be
picked-and tl.at is Dishahile. The stake
winner OF last Saturday should surely re-
peat here
Loretta NJ. ought to be able to separate
the Bennett FLY from the Gerst entry to-
day. and they Should come past the stand
in that order. linda should be the runner
np and may be Il stronger contender for
better place than show.
Baggerly seems to have the edge in the
second race ana ought to win. Lady Fonse
and Fenian seem next in order here, with
Dallas as an alternate. Blggerly ought
to be able to turn the trick in this com
pany to-day.
In the opening event Mellwood may de-
feat Fruit and Platoon. Franco has
changed hands lately and his recent per
formances, anyway. have not been sUffi-
ciently good to cntitle him to a selection
here, even though the going will be some
what to his liking.
1t is hard to see how they can heat
Thane in the fifth. even admitting that
ne is carrying n big lot of weight. He
looks much the best, and Decoration and
Doctor Kier should have their troubles
chasing him home. Kier was crowded back
ont of his last lace and should do well in
the going TO-DAY. Wounded Knee will
make his first local appearance of the sea-
sOn, but the distance seems too far for
him.
John Doyle should win the last event on
the card If some stronger boy than little
Seder rides him. Scder has hardly the
strength as yet to hustle him along for the
last quarter, as Austin did on the last
cPsion he rode the Fizer entry. With n
strong boy up. DCSle looks 10 have a
strong chance here.
Regina d. and Martius seem next best
and should finish in that order.

At INION TRACK.

The track at Union will he heavy again
to-day. II was not dry enough TO absorb
the heavy rain of last night. However,
the best form at Union has been in the
sloppy or heavy going.
Yesterday the track was almost fast.
and several very pronounced favorites
were knocked down and long shots won.
There viii be seven races again to-day.
including stesplcchase. The latter may
be postponed on account o: 4 bad course.
This is hardly likely unless the rain con
unucs this morning. rs the steeplechase
course is on sGndy soil.
The third race may be taken rs the fea-
tUre. II Is at a mile and an eighth. anu
should be won by Honda. with Cursus sec
ond and Ora Mckinney third Cursus is
So good lust now that 1t Will be hard for
Honda, who has shown herself to be the
better horse, 10 win. Ora Mckinney has
shown that she cannot carry weight. She
mas won from good fields with less than
ninety pounds up. and has an outside
chance TO win to-day. Aside from the
three above named there is nothing dan
ScrOus in the race.
Jim Gore IL is due 10 win Il race. and he
seems to be in favored spot in the first
event. On his last race Laton should be
second. Napoleon BonapIrtc has run
third in better company and should not be
worse than that position to-day.
The RouSta bouts last race was n bril-
hant one, and the colt should come back
and win to-day. Doctor Spruill has not
been out for some time. and experience
has shown that intervals between outs
do not work to the benefit of the horse,
The Doctor should be second choice and
that is likely the way he viii line up in
the betting. In the going Ella Waggoner
should be third
Solon Shingles last race was so good
that he must be selected To win the fourth
race in the company he is in. Blue Pen
nant ran 4 good race the other day and
hgureS TO be second. Miss West mas an
outside chance to win. and should not be
worse than third.
SabinaFs good race of yesterday not
but is game. and can go a mile. He looks
the winner of the fifth race. Eufalla is
fest on any kind OF a track and should be
third.
Labor is the class Of the sixth race and
should win. even if the track Is bit
heavy. Labor has shown something of a
liking for the mud, although he is best on
a fast track. Alline Abbott seems tn be
the only contender at mile. but labor
VIII likely outrun her At the end. On her
last race Miss Riilie should be third
There is not much argument in favor of
anv of the entries in the steeplechase.
the jumps. and Crisis has proved to be a
steady jumper with considerable speed on
me NAT; The Rogers entry should be first.
Lord Falconer second. and Warner third.
The latter fell in the last race. If he iS
lucky to-day and does not go down in Il
spill he may win. He should be in the
money.
