his entry, Blissful, In the fifth race
and incidentally pulled down nearly
$1,000 as a reward for his good guessing
with the bookies.
A hot tip was out on Haviland, De-
kaber and Worthwhile and these were
played to a standstill, but none of
them could raise gallop. Blissful ran
gamely and slowly edged to the front,
taking command In the stretch and
never being headed, going under the
wire three lengths to the good.
The Huguenot ran second and Gentle
Harry nosed Haviland out Of the show
money
Elfin King proved to be the best OF
an awful bad bunch In the last race
and. although nearly last in the stretch.
closed with n great rush and nipped
Huachuca at the wire.
Huachuca, the favorlte, was strong
enough at the end to get the place
from Interlude, which finished third. El
Bernardo led the procession TO the
stretch, where the expected explosion
occurred.
No Dog Races Today
The card framed up for the enter
tainment of the race-going public to-
day Is one of exceptional merit and all
the fields are unusually classy, which
should mean better and more formful
racing than resulted yesterday.
The babes are on the board for the
opening overture and ten or them viii
Journey a mile for a purse.
Blue Bottle is in at top weight, but
weight cuts slight figure In races at
this short distance. This one has been
showing nicely at Bmeryville aud
should about win today.
Sweet Kitty is n quick breaker and
a speedy filly She should be second
and Halton should be no worse than
third at the finish
The probable result Is Blue Bottle,
Sweet Kitty, Halton.
Mohur appears to have an edge on
everything in the second race, a SELL
ing affair at one mile.
Avontellus should be no worse than
second and may win If given a good
ride and gets away nicely.
Mr.. Budd may surprise the natives
by running in the money, but third
place is about the best to be expected
of him.
The end should be Mohur, Avontellus,
Mr.. Budd.
Boots" Durnell will continue his con-
quests by winning the third race with
Sir Wilfred. Sir Wilfred is good now
and can step the five furlongs in 100
if necessary.
Misty's Pride figures to be the con-
tender and may beat out Masedo for
the place. Masedo snould be no worse
than third, however.
Don Domo appears to be going stale
and has not performed up to eXpecta-
tions lately.
The probabilities: Sir Wilfred, Mis-
ty's Pride, Masedo.
Orilene May Win
The fourth race is at one and one
sixteenth miles and Orilene appears to
be in a soft spot. With ten pounds off
her last start when she beat Sanfara
a mile in 1:4O%, she shoudr repeat to-
day.
Secret was never better and ought to
be the one for Orilene to beat for first
money.
Ramus to show is about the best ap-
proach to a certainty of the bunch.
The Stevens entry can hardly be worse
than third.
The end should be Orilene. Secret,
Ramus.
Cicely has only to run back to her
first and last out to win the fifth race.
If Cicely can go the route she should
beat Henchman to the wire with ease.
Henchman for the place, however, Is
a better guess than Cicely to win.
Whichever horse beats Henchman will
be the winner, as the Bondy candl-
date cannot be worse than second.
L
race and the light weight assigned him
will make him go at a steady and
very fast clip today.
The finish should be in this order:
Cicely, Henchman, DR.. McCarty.
Six good sprinters will go six and
one-half furlongs in the final event
and the class of the field will be de-
cided and refreshing departure from the
usual standard of this event.

Money Muss cares no more for ia
pounds than Bearcatcher would de-
spise 100 pounds, 1t is a feather for
him.
Ninnasquaw may be good enough to
run third, but Bologna is in light and
will go well.
However, the end should be Dewey,
Money Muss, Ninnasquaw.
The Blute string which was sent
north some time ago and won several
races at Emeryville is again stabbed at
Ascot and will again be prominent in
the entry lists.
Jockey Swain goes to Emeryville to-
day to ride Lacene in the Oaks Satur-
day. If the Denny filly is within ten
pounds of the best horse in the race
she will win, as Swain is twenty-five
pounds advantage to anything he rides,

S. NJ. Williams is getting his share
of the purses at Emeryville. In addi-
ton to other winnings, Nine Spot
romped away yesterday at good price
and it is dollars to doughnuts that
Williams cashed more than the amount
of the purse.
Denny Bros. will ship Lacene and
Full Sway to Emeryvllle today. Lacene
