/ and speedily overhauled those ahead of
her, and when she went under the wire
in the lead she had four lengths to

Chaotas was second and Pinta was
third, less than two lengths away
Ebony repea ted In the fifth race and
breezed to the wire ahead of Miss Bet

course and the slow-beglnnlng Ebony
fairly reveled I'm the excitement of the
chase, finding the task Of passing the
leaders the exact job he mostly craved.
Bllssful ran prominently until the
drive for the wire began, when she
dropped out of the running and The
Huguenot secured the show money.
Daruma burned the track In her eff

race and won eased up by three lengths,
with Silver Wedding second and Neat
ness third.
Daruma was always favorite and a
heavy play resulted from the evens

ket Alma Gardia was also heavily
played. being backed down from 30s to
15s, but failed to show.
Or. Crook May Win
The babes are first on the card to-
day for a four furlong dash and DIR.
Crook is slightly the best of the bunch
and should win, with Game Bird Sec
ond and Tony Faust third.
George p. McNear should earn an
other set of brackets in the second race
which is over the Futurity course. Va
lencia should be second and Smithy
Kane may last long enough to be third
If held in reserve in the early stages
J. c. Chic has Secret and Condo as
his entry inSthe third race, which is a,
one mile, and one of these should get
the long end of the purse. Masterson
should be second and Crowshade
should be third.
Lacene is the best of a good bunch
in the fourth race and with good rae
ing luck will be the winner Esther w
should be second, with Don Domo third
Worthwhile figures to win the fifth
race. Cotillion will be the one the win
ner must beat and Miss May Bowdish
should show.
An Indifferent bunch are gathered to-
gether for a selling dash at six fur
longs at high weights and the order OF
finish may be Elfn King, Huachuca
and Sheriff Bell.
James Curl boosted the selling price
of Ebony from 5000 to $1,000 after the
big black won the fifth race, but Will
liam Walker added IS to the latter bid
and retained his coal black beauty.

terday and the good thing proclivities
which invariably attach to this horse
chung to him yesterday, but he was
away in a mess and never had a chance
after the start, if he ever had one such
chance.
w. L. Anderson made his debut as
owner of a timber topper yesterday
when he sent DeXterity to the post in
the steeplechase race. DeXterity per-
formed over the hurdles with much
dexterity, but Jockey Morper fell off
at the last jump and DeXterity became
disguised and started for the barn.
The stake event of the week will be
the Woodlands stakes for the baby
racers, to be run Saturday. The dis
lance is four furlongs and the Jockey
club adds $500. Starters are to be
named during entry hours tomorrow
and according to the conditions of the
race Ray Egan will carry top weight, as
he is the only juvenile that has won
three races.
Morita was backed from 9s to IS to
win the $1,000 handicap, but was cut
off on the first turn and forced to pull
up next to last. AS the race was run
in fast time. 1:40A, the lost ground
could never be made up, although the
Spreckels filly closed like a streak
in the stretch drive running just out
side of the money. She probably need
ed another race to put her on edge for
her best efforts and it is improbable
that she will ever be as good as 10 to
again this season.
"Puddin" Mcdaniel has won four
out of five of his mfdweek handicaps
this season and it was suggested by a
prominent horseman yesterday that if
"Puddin" intended to keep it up the
event should be named the "Puddin"
The clever little rider had
the mount on Varieties in the first of
these events to be run and his mount
led into the stretch, but quit and fin
ished outside the money. Since then,
however, Mcdaniel has piloted Cutter,
Wire In and A. Muskoday first to the
wire for the long end of the purse.
The Dodge colt, A. Muskoday, has won
two of these events since New Years.
The jockey club is encoura ging the
press representatives at Ascot to enter
into one of the most novel races ever
given upon any race course in the
world and 1t is probable that the ar
will be completed for the
race to be run within the next two
weeks. This would be Press hand-
cap for three-year-olds and upwards
at one mile, with amateur riders Sc
lected from among the sporting writers
in daily attendance upon the races. The
form of the race would be nil and the
guessing contest as to the probable
winner would put a jumping race in
the shade for all time to come. II
sufficient number of riders can be oh
the race will be announced with
in a few days.
George L. Long, the Kentucky
breeder, enjoyed life immensely yester-
day afternoon because he was enabled
to play a neat joke upon his friend
Johnny McCafferty, whose guests Long
and family were during the races. Long

race and the books thought so little
of his chances that as good as 10 to
