attendance to Ingleside track yester-
day and the talent had only themselves
to blame If the bookies were not worst
ed. Backed horses with one exception
ran closely to form, three favorites, two
second choices and an outsider annex
ing purses. Pleasant weather and a
fast track left nothing to wish for.
ON the strength Of his race the pre-
ceding day Mr.. Dingie looked almost
an absolute certainty for the opening
seven furlong run. He was backed
down to to 5, and, well handled by
Larsen, passed Little Sister in the
stretch, winning cleverly from Isabel
lita. The latter mare was bet on and
If away better might have won. Lou
Clieveden ran a fair race, finishing
fourth behind Little Sister.
But four started in the mile run for
mares and geldings, and it turned out
to be quite a spirited betting affair.
Esherin was played from TO to AZ.
Major Tenny had many friends, but as
the big bettors stayed with Daisy
Green, ridden by Hildebrand. the East
ern mare closed favOrite over CRATER.
CRATER WINS EASILY.
Daisy and Esherin cut out the run
ming for six and half furlongs, when
both had played out their string. Tom

with Major Tenny and for a second
looked dangerous, but Jack Martin
astride CRATER had too much in re-
serve, winning almost easily by less
than a length. The faVorite lost the
show to Esherin by a head.
At odds of 1 to 2, Walter Jennings
crack mare Gold Money won the Fu-
turity course sprint, next to be decided.

course, had the mount, and had the
course had the mount, and had the IA
vorite up in his lap behind Money Muss
to the stretch. Although the latter
sprinter was firing, Hagerdon could not
overhaul him, finishing in the show.
Bookmaker Frank Lanterman's
Stuyve enjoyed quite as easy a vic
tory in the mile selling run. The brown
gelding, with Hildebrand up, was
quoted a to 10 chance at post time
and simply galloped out in front from
start to finish. Somenos, the runner
up for three-quarters of the route, dIed
away, and Hainault ran second, four
lengths before Illilouon. Scotsman by
his poor showing displayed the fact
that he possesses little class.
AN OUTSIDER LANDS.
Mnt Jones RolIick, with Johnny DAILY
on his back, stopped the progress of
the favorites by capturing the fifth
race at odds of Is TO l. DAILY moved
his mount into the leading position
after Muresca and Yellowstone had
tired and passed the wire four open
lengths before Bard Burns. Judge Voor-
hies, a well backed outsider piloted by
Tommy Burns, led the favorite Matt
Hogan out for the show.
AS there was some doubt about Mar
tinmas going one and a sixteenth miles,
Charley Hehshall got to l for some of
his money in the betting on the last
race. The regulars stayed with Nj
grette, making the little black mare ia
vorite at to 5. Kunz took Martinmas
out in front at the start, and stalling
off the challenge of Oliphant on the ia
vorite in the stretch earned the decision
by half a length. His Eminence finished
third, five lengths behind Nigrette.
After an early exhibition of speed Nam
tor died away to nothing.
