SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.-W r.
Condor, 9 to 1, was the winner of the
Burns handicap. Claude the favorite,
was second, and Veterano, who was so
to in the betting, came in third. The
time was 2:171a, the slowest known in
the history of this classic event The
special attraction drew record crowd
to the Ermyville track. For a time
the mist that hung over the grounds
threatened rain, but the skies cleared
just before the big event.
Mike Days pair, Claude and Elliott,
ruled favorite throughout the betting,
opening at IL to and closing to l..
The Ezell pair, w. R. Condor and
Flying Torpedo, had a following, and
there was an occasional rush to bet on
the Skinner stable, which was made
up of Horatius and Bombardier.
Rockaway, the reliance of Walter
Jennings, was nibbled at, and Military
Man was heavily backed. AS a fact,
there was no horse in the race that
did not get some play.
OF the fourteen gallopers carded to
start only Honiton was withdrawn.
There was considerable delay at the
post, Pasadena especially, causing
trouble.
They got away to a beautiful start
with Military Man in front. At the
stand Rockaway was in front. Pasa-
dena was second and Military Man
third. In the backstretch Rockaway
led by three lengths and seemed to be
going easily. Turning for home w. R.
Condor passed Rockaway. Willie
DAILY, astride of Claude, made his move
too late and lost the big race. w. r.
Condor won by half a length. Veter-
ano finished third, two and a half
lengths behind Claude.
Military Man broke down in the back
stretch and was pulled up. Elliott
went to the bad in the run for home,
and finished next to last, just in front
of Pasadena.
