preference. Ebony is the best of the
others.
When the numbers are hung out they
may name the following in this order:
The Huguenot, Hot Ebony.
An Urinary bunch will face the bar
rier in the final event. Thirteen are
carded to start and there has never
been final race at Ascot this season
with this number in without an acci-
dent.
II accidents are dispensed with today
Kinsman will get the grapes and will
not be hard pressed.
Whitestone is the best of the others
| and should beat Sea Sick for the place.
All the others are good things, with
slim chances of getting in the money.
One of the largest midweek crowds of
the season was at Ascot yesterday,
| fully 5000 persons being on the grounds
during the racing hours.
Weights and declarations for the
$500 free handicap to be run tomorrow
are due today. Entries We're made yes
terday. The distance will be one and
The third and fourth races TODAY
will be unusually interesting because
| they Will bring together fields of high
class horses and the contests promise
to be exciting and close.
Donvitz rode his first winner of the
meeting yesterday. plotting the good
thing. Betsy, first under the wire for
M. b. Arterberry and a host of pikers
who held tickets at prices ranging from
so to 1 to to 1.
Steve PHommedieu was the biggest
I winner on the victory OF Fortunatus
yesterday. The Canadian plunger-
bookmaker not only held this one out
in his book, but took the hunch and
played him with good-sized bank roll.
| Miller and Dugan rode two winners
each yesterday. These boys are 1-2 in
the race for lead of the jockey list and
their performances in the saddle have
been of a uniform high character at
all times. Both are exceptionally strong
in finish and usually get out all there
is in their mounts.
AS a penalty for disobedience at the
post, Starter Dwyer has put a penalty
upon Jockey W. Fischer. whereby the
boy will not be permitted to ride for
other than his employers, j. A. Wern-
berg and j. j. McCafferty, until the dis
ability is removed.
Two men engaged in a quarrel in the
betting ring yesterday and ended it by
fighting 1t out. Both were hustled OFF
the grounds by the Pinkertons after
much excitement had been created by
the disturbance in the ring Those IN
the grandstand knew nothing Of the
affair until 1t was ended.
Jockey j. Hennessey was fined $50
last night by Judge Hamilton on the

wire.
Don Domo is almost certain to be
second and New Mown Hay should be
third without a doubt.
The fourth race includes such high
class performers as Vino, Masterson,
Good Luck Cello, w. H. Carey and
Sainada.
Masterson is a shifty colt, speedy and
a slayer, but Vino has him beaten at
anything in the sprinting line. These
two are sure to be in the money and
should be 1-2.
w. II. Carey is in light and must beat
Good Luck for show money. 1t will be
big job and he is hardly able to
do it.
Cello is also to be considered in this
company and at this distance should
Beat Good Luck and w. II. Carey for
peep money
All should be close up at the finish,
but the result should be Vino, Master
son, Cello.
Rustling Silk to Win
The first race on the card is a three
quarters dash, selling, for fillies and
mares. and the class of the field today
will be many fold better than the usual
initial event.
OF the fourteen that will go to the
post Rustling Silk looks much the best
and all she will have to do Is to run
to her workouts to win in a mere
romp.
This one is probably one of the most
promising two-year-olds at the course
and has speed to spare She has
started once, running third to Vino and
Retropaw.
Parvo showed so we'll on his last out
that she should be second on suffer-
ance.
Valencia is in light and will be
knocking at the front door all the way.
This one has performed consistently
at this meeting and cannot be over
looked.
The result should be Rustling Silk,
ParVo, Valencia.
Brigand has the chance of a lifetime
to win brackets In the second race to-
day. On his race against Varieties and
Blissful few days ago he should gal
| lop today.
! Pachuca will be the contender and
( will only have Meadowhorn to beat
The lot is very ordinary and surprises
may occur, but Pettijohn is about the
only sleeper In the race.
The result may be Brigand, Paehuca
Meadowhorn, with Pettijohn the dark
horse" to split any of them, II ready.
The Huguenot Here
The fifth race is split of the second
and a much better field is included In
| the entries.
OF the bunch The Huguenot looks
best and should about win today. He
has been striving earnestly in all his
previous outs and has the one grand
! opportunity of showing his true form
in this event.
He will be right there all the WaN
Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-20

winner and was backed even money at
post time.
Fortunatus, which appeared to be the
most dangerous entry, was quoted at
6s and went to Is at post time.
Jockey Miller went off slowly and
worked his way through the speeding
bunch until ready for the gruelling
finish in the stretch.
When set down to racing, Fortunatus
galloped over his field and went under
the wire a meager head to the fore.
Requiter chased after Skeptic, which
set the pace, until his head was droop-
ing and he quit to nothing, finishing
fifth.
"Puddin" Mcdaniel rated Bill Cur
tbs, once q stake horse, in second posi-
tion and poked his nose in front of
the stretch, but Fortunatus was too
game and fresh at the end to lose and
out-nodded Bill
Skeptlc landed in third place, after
allowing Fortunatus and Bill Curtis to
run over him in the stretch.
That perpetual good thing, Secret,
was installed as favorite in the third
race and was another short-priced
choice to fall down.
Miller rode Fulletta, which was at
IS, and there was never a second that
any doubt existed as to which horse
would win.
Fuletta set the pace and breezed all
the way home. Secret and Henchman
tried to run in the money, but could
not stand the pace.
Search Me raced from nowhere in the
stretch and secured place money being
three lengths in front of Secret at the
end.
Good Card Today
One of the best cards of the mid
week offerings by the jockey club this
season is down for decision today. All
the events have filled nicely and with
several Of the best performers at the
course.
The feature event is difficult to deter
mine, as the third and fourth races
have equal claims upon the race-going
public.
Some of the speediest sprinters at
the track are I'm each race and much
interest will be attracted to each
The third race brings together a
quartet of good ones in Escalante, Don
Domo New Mown Hay and Belasco.
Belasco and New Mown Hay will
make their initial bow to the Ascot
patrons and as neither has been out in
some time. there is slight excuse for
considering either Of them as a prob
able winner.
The race is between Escalante and
Don Domo and as the distance is made
to order for the gray streak, 1t is not
easy 70 pass him up for his rival.
Don Domo beat Escalante at their
last meeting, but the latter was almost
left at the post and was bumped by
Eugenia Bureh. Despite these inter-
ferences and difficulties, Escalante was
second to the Don.
II is probable that Escalante will be
away from the post with Don today
and If this occurs, the race is already

Complaint has been filed with the
Western Jockey club against Jockey j.
Harris, who rides for William Walker
charging that the boy is not entitled to
an apprentice allowance and setting
up the claim that he rode his first
winner three years ago. Harris admits
that he rode a winner at a bush"
meeting at Shreveport, La, but claims
that the meeting was not under the
Jurisdiction of any jockey club and
does not therefore count against his
right to the five pounds allowance on
all his mounts. Walker has taken up
the charges and will today make
formal statements for the Jockey club,
and Harris will do likewise, Judges
Hamilton and Cole taking the state
ments for the Jockey club. Pending a
decision in the premises, Harris will
not be permitted to claim the appren-
tice allowance. If deceit in procuring
the apprentice license is proved his rid
ing license will be revoked, but 1t is
the general opinion of horsemen that
the boy is not at fault and will not
suffer beyond the revocation of his
right to the apprentice allowance.
