YEsTERDAY's WINNERS

The refusal OF the judges 10 allow a
claim Of foul lodged against Altadice, a
two-yesr-old owned by President
Thomas II. williams OF the New Cali
fornia Jockey Club, following the pal
pable Interference OF that colt with
Bonheur. favOrite in the first race,
throughout the stretch run left a bad
taste in the mouths Of turf patrons at
Emeryville yesterday, and was respon-
sible for the arousing OF considerable
81 feeling Jockey Mcintyre was up on
the fsvorite, while Walter Miller had
the mount on the Williams youngster.
Altadice, after getting away in front,
LED to the head OF the stretch, where
Mcintyre brought Bonheur up on even
terms. only 70 have his mount carried
wide by Miller after turning into the
stretch Miller allowed Altsdice 10
bear over on the favorite all the way
through the stretch 10 the paddock. and
appeared 20 be doing his best 10 ride
both his own mount and Mcintyre s.
Mcintyre was obliged TO pull up al the
paddock 70 escape an accident and
Altsdice then went on TO win by the
better part Of a length.
To the surprise OF the spectators the
Judges refused TO allow Mcintyre s
claim OF foul, taking the ground that
the bearing out OF Altadice was due TO
his greennsss and not TO any wrongful
intent upon the part OF his rider. The
Interference had been so palpsble that
the crowd took il for granted that
Altadice would be disqualified, even
though running in the colors Of Pres
ident williams. in view OF the fact that
Boloman was disqualified and Miller
suspended for a similar offense a fort
night ago. President Williams is still
absent on his trip TO Chicago.
Altadice was as good as IS 10 I in
the betting at one time. and went TO
the post at u. Billy Meyer was third
all the way.
MCBRIDE HAS CLOSE CALL

close call ia this race. He had the
mount on Parasol. and that FLY was
