with Tocolaw he was Joined by the
Ryan entry. The nair raced off clear
or the field, but as the stretch was
reached Tocolaw, cracked and it
looked easy sailing for Honiton. Under
vigorous, handling, Martinmas now
ioomed up as the contender. Kunz

winning by nearly a length in 1868.
TocolaW disposed of Toledo for third
money.
The one startling surprise of the
afternoon was the win of Gossiper,
which defeated a clever field at odds

were the only successful favorites.

pulsory on the part of Walter Jen-
T nings, for the old horse pulled up on
three legs. He went to the post 3

ridden by. Davis and to 1 in the bet
ting, went out in front and was never

GOSSIPER, AN OUTSIDER. WINS.
A six-furlong selling affair for three
year-olds ended in an awful turn over
for the talent Silverskin. the gray
sprinter from the Brinkworth stable,
looked like real mellow one and even
money a fair quotation. Despite the
money bet on him the price about Sill
verskin went back in the betting.
Travers, who rode the favorite, made
kid glove soiree of it and sneaked
| III third. Gossiper, a rs to 1 shot,
which carried some scattered support
and was piloted by Kunz, made a run
| away race of It. Salable finished very
strong on the outside, only losing by
| a neck. M. A. Powell got away very
badly.
In the two-year-old event, at three
| and a half furlongs. Sir Wilfred, the
fast colt from the Cameron string,
turned the tables on the Napa Stock
Farms Daruma. The victory of Sir
Wilfred last Wednesday was such an
impressive one that he ruled favorite
over the filly. Bullman had the mount
on Daruma, and she easily outfooted
| Sir Wilfred to the turn for home. Right

Won the race. His mount was more than
two lengths to the bad, but Bullman
made sweeping turn and the first
| choice saved three lengths by making
close cut on the rail. This gave Sir
Wilfred the lead. and in a struggle to
the wire he held the f1lly safe, winning
by length. Abe Meyer again finished
third.
Travers on Nigrette furnished dis
! graceful exhibition, and after opening
up a 8 to 2 favorite for the mile and
furlong selling run the black mare
| finished unplaced. The smart money
went in on Leila, and, permitted to
| make her own pace, the Clark entry
with Greenfield up, registered first, of
course. Davis laid away with Major
Mansir, getting UP, however in time to
nose out Stilicho for the place.
Johnny Schorr's Ananias picked up
| ITO pounds and John Bullman and made
| a runaway race of the mile and fifty
yard handicap. Ishlana finished Sec
| ond, eight lengths before Venator.
TRACK NOTES.
| Vesuvian pulled up in such bad shape
| that the turf has probably seen the
last of the once good racehorse. When
| the son of st. Andrew cannot finish
| one, two, three in cheap selling race
| 1t is time he was retired.
Platt, from the Stevens stable, heav-
| lily played to win the second event,
| broke down.
Brinkworth & Co. lost Major Mansir
| from the fifth race. The old cam
| paigner was claimed for $1925 by George
March, trainer of Vaughan.
An examination of Follow Me, which
ran unplaced in race on Friday when
| a hot favorite, discloses the fact that
| the gelding has sore foot. Judge Pet
| tingili says the wound looks as if it
may have been caused by being pricked
when plated. The owners of Follow
Me lost their own money, as did their
| friends. If every horse won that was
heavily played and owners and train
ers were never wrong in their surmises
| bookmakers would soon be a memory
| of the past.
Walter Jennings will appeal to the
stewards of the Pacific Jockey Club
| from the decision of Judge Hamilton Of
Los Angeles In awarding big Bill'
Knapp, the jockey, to Puerl Wilkerson.
| The latter has two or three crabs that
! wouldn't make stew at Port Arthur,
| and it seems strange that he must
have rider under contract Why does
he require one?
Johnny Schorr's Ananias cut the
coast record for one mile and fifty
yards from 1:42A to 1:42 fiat. The
American record of 1:41 1-5 is held by
Haviland, made at Chicago
Travers rode an lily judged race on
Siiverskin, to say the least, but his ex-
hibition on Nigrette was shameful. The
marc could have gone to the front on
the back stretch, but Travers looked
for an opportunity to get cut off in

criminally bad riding that the judges
decided to restrict the boys riding in

Travers' apprentice allowance expires
on the 18th inst, and he can thank his
lucky stars that the officials did not
rule him OF the turf. Travers has fur
