Tennyburn, Bull

Winner.
BY FRED f. MULHOLLAND.

Even if the track across the bay yes
terday did resemble the Oakland es-
tuary more than an ellipse for racing
purposes and the card was a trifle Off
colored, the sport itself did not pan out
so poorly after all. Most of the horses
backed were fighting for the money,
and the betting seemed lively as ever
Although Sir Preston and Alice Carey
were the only two successful choices,
Albemarlc, Al Waddle, War Times and
Tennyburn We're by no means neglect
ed.
The falldown of Royal Red. the IL
to 10 favorite for the maiden three
year-old sprint, caused sorrow among
the talent. The Toukey entry was
heralded as a good thing, and Bullman
On Tennyburn beat the gelding out

Phalanx not interfered with him re-
peatedly. In a hard drive he disposed
of Phalanx by head for the place.
Had Mcbride winked or glanced at
the grandstand while finishing with
Sir Preston, odds-on favorite for the
opening sprint, his mount would have
been beaten. The first choice is not

Many thought Mcbride on Bell Reed. /

finish. Perhaps he did, but the form

shorter route than six furlongs- With

and there is little wondernent that he

away in front with the latter, the fay-

Approaching the wire, Mcbride let the
favorite down and Davis made old

one. It was pretty finish, Albemarle
scoring by a head, Hainauit second. a
nose before Bell Reed. Educate ran a.
dull race under her light weight.
Ten very cheap maidens started in
the mile event. A very warm clocker S

some early interference, running un-

lead from Vigoroso on the far turn.

the first choice, downing Vigoroso three
lengths. Harka and Gin Spray could
not raise galfop in the going.
Alice Carey, proved she is a good re-

TRACK NOTES.
John Bullman rode a very strong
finish on Tennyburn. The colt was
well played in the downtown pool
rooms.
Red Cross Nurse was claimed from
the last race for ss25 by the Fleur
de Lis stable. in whose colors Alice
Carey ran.
Walter Jennings sold the three
vear-old filly Estella to the Baker
City stable yesterday.
WalIy Brinkworth has played in such
poor luck that he figures a change
NAV prove beneficial. The stable of
horses in which he is interested will
be shipped to Hot Springs on Monday
next. Little Wally. Silverskin and
Scotsman are the pick of the string.
Wally will be missed, for he is an
extensive speculator and an all around
good fellow. Frank Doss. who trains
for the stable, had the horses fit as
hands could make them. but they just
simply bumped up against It.
Tom Henly. the we'll known Eastern
| trainer. was a visitor at the track
Yesterday. He is accompanied on the
trip West by John Weller, another
| New Yorker. Mr.. Henly trains the
| horses owned by r. T. Wilson Jr..
Dolly Spanker being one of the stars.
