HORSES WHICH WON SURPRISED PEOPLE Jockeys Are Set Down for the Remainder of the Meet GOOD PROGRAMME TODAY Crowd Yesterday Was a Little Light, But Several Thousand Saw
 the Races-Track Not
 Very Fast.
GOOD PROGRAMME TODAY

The unexpected happened in every race at the fair grounds yesterday except the last one. when a horse which was picked to win by nearly every one galloped home | In front In the other three running races none of the winners were entitled to first money, and were practically out siders.
 Presiding Judge Updegraff and Associate Judge Wallace did not like the riding of Jockeys Wilson, Foley and Monro, and as q result the three riders were 'set'' down for the remainder of the meeting. Jockey Reynolds was given a warning that his riding would be watched closely and that nothing off color in the least would be allowed.
 The track yesterday was not in very good condition. It had been sprinkled too much Sunday night, and as a result the mud was an inch deep near the inside rail. Near the outer rail the track was hard and the going was fast Several of the horses which were due to run good races were ridden into the mud floundered around and finished in the ruck Among these were Mon Armour, ridden by Fo- ley; Little Red, with Wilson up; China Alley, with Foley up, and Whipporwill, with Wilson in the saddle. Reynolds was riding Bishop Weed In the third race. and that horse took the lead from the start and nothing could head him.
 kibosh a Surprise.
 Kfbosh surprised the wise ones in the first race by beating Mon Armour and Little Red, both of which horses were considered better mounts than the win ner. Neither Mon Armour nor Little Red finished one, two, three.
 The same conditions prevailed in the second race. when China Alley, a horse that should have won according to the form sheets. failed to show. Wistful, a horse that many thought should win the race, or at least run second, also failed to show Balshot horse which was supposed to be winner on more than one occasion last week. won the race handily.
 The third race went to Bishop Weed which was considered the fourth horse in the race. Whpporwill Brushton and Ben Fonso were all considered better horses than Bishop Weed, but that horse took the lead when the barrier fell and never relinauished 1t for the entire mile.
 Subador was the only horse living up to expectations. Leeds rode a nice race on him, coming to the front near the head of the home stretch and winning without trouble Trossacks and Precious Stone were the second and third horses in the race, which was about the way .ba cho H,,ic to form However, Royal Whitefoot was considered a good thing by many.
 The feature of the afternoon was the Alabama mule derby, in which there were five entries. It was won by Jim Camp bell, driving a mule which Harry Jones picked to win. The winner was Harry Jones' a bay mule, Hardware, by Hard wood, dam Sheriff, by People. The mule trotted all the way. and although he fin ished fourth was awarded the handsome tin cup, which will hold about five gal Ions, the three mules in the money hay ing run part of the way.
 The mule driven by O. P. Updegraff fin- ished last, but won the consolation for having the best kicking ability. In the back stretch he kicked fourteen times in d by Hermitage, dam Tennessee. only kick ed seven times.
 R. c. Maxwell, Ali Williams and R. M. Williams were barred for running
