Second and Third Choices Cause
Further Disaster to Hair
assed Pencil Men

Boobies were a sore lot yesterday a
Ave favorites and long shot, backed
from so to to 20 to 1, won. 1t was tn
most disastrous day the boobies hav,
experienced this season. Besides tn
favorites winning many heavily backe,
second and third horses ran in thei
respective positions. thereby making
the bookies go to their strong boxei
still oftener.
There were two mlshaps, but luckil.
the boys on the horses were not in
jured.
Hold On Jimmy did not let go o.
Los Angeleno in the second race anC
threw him to his knees, Jockey Boyc
falling off.
In the third race Spartan fell, bu
luckily he was not in the front ranks
when the accident occurred, otherwise
there might have been a bad spill
Jockey Talbert got up and walked of
the track, while the horse made the
circuit twice.
The first favorte of the day to re-
ward his hackers was DR.. Crook. From
2 to he was backed to s to 5. Archi.
bald was alert at the post and got of
flying, making every post a winning
one and had something left at the end
Star of Runnymede at the juicy odd:
of 20 to 1 came from far back and was
second easily. st. Adams saved ground
on the rail and got up in time to show
Rosemary d exhibited a flash of early
speed but quit badly.
Bryan opened at even money, but
the rush to get on caused his price &c
tumble to to 5, which could be had al
all times Reservation was always held
at s to 5, while the other three ranged
from 10 to 1 to 30 to l.
Bryan went to the front at once and
stayed there all the time. Reservation
trailed the field for six furlongs, when
Booker made his move and although
he rode with whip and spurs the old
horse could not get up.
Freesias had only Mortlake to beat
for show money, as Los Angeleno threw
her rider at the post. Mortlake showed
speed until the stretch, then stopped
to almost a walk.
r. H. Carman, the millionaire horse
man of New York, saw his colors car
ried to victory in the third race when
Lady Chiswell won. This mare has
a warm spot in Mr.. Carmans heart as
she is a hunter he used through the
fields in Virginia. The best price to
be had on the mare was so to 1. Then
Mr.. Carman's betting commissioners
sent in the money and some bookies
l, however, were the odds at post
time.
Lisbia and Veritas Vincit closed at
about equal favorites, to l, and never
were in the hunt Vandola was in
front for the three-quarters but stopped
badly when Avontellus took command
Fischer sent the mare along and She
just got up by a head Vandola Lasted
to show. Fro Pyro was heavily backed
d., Ir.f 81 u, a.
rail. Would have been a close contender
with clear sailing.
Prince Magnet, an to 5 favorite for
the fourth race, took the lead at once
and never left the result in doubt, Win
ming easily. Viona, the second choice,
was easily second. Mountebank, sharp
ly cut off at the start, made up ground
and finished resolutely, getting the
short end of the purse.
Pacifico showed speed, so did Mos
keto, which was heavily backed; but
when the finish came they closed up
like a jacknife.
Lord Stanhope made his field look
cheap as he took the lead after the
first quarter and won with plenty to
spare. Cazador was the runner up all
the way and just lasted to get the
place from Edwin T. Fryer, which out
run early, closed like a shot. Lord
Stanhope was backed from to 10 to
l to 2 at post time.
The sixth race was a walkover for
Jas. A. Murray, the to 10 favorite.
He ran his field dizzy, winning pulled
up by five lengths. Lolita Gladstone
and Succeed ran head and head until
the stretch, where Lolita drew away
and with a hard ride stalled Betsy
determined challenge.
A carload of horses arrived from Oak
land yesterday. The horses belong to
j. Graham, Jockey Grahams father.
George Boles, the New York book
maker, arrived yesterday. Boles will
probably cut in on Saturday. No bet
is big enough for George.
j. Dunn retaliated by bidding up L.
u. de Arman's Bryan after he won the
second race. Dunn bid $1,000 and got
the gelding. The horse was entered to
be sold for $1400. On Tuesday De Ar
man bid up Miss Martha on Dunn. il
looks as though another selling race
war has broken out.
Jockey Horner had his first mount
this season when he rode Prosperity
in the first race.
twenty-five books cut in yesterday
including two field and one combina-
ton. j. o. Mullholand was the new
conner.
1t may not be amiss to call atten-
ton to opinions appearing in these col
umns relative to the probable winners
at Ascot. A remarkable success was
scored yesterday when five of the six
winning horses were suggested, while
the so to 1 shot, which finished first
was chosen as a show horse.
