By j. r. JeffSry

The EmeryviIle racing season of
1sOs-o7 will come to close today. The
meeting opened November II last and
bss run without interruption for 1SI
racing DAYS. which is 81 more than
originally scheduled. For getaway
day an attractive card has been ar
ranged and, as there viii be no more
racing hereabouts until the opening OF
the season of 1907-0S ar the usual
date in November next, 1t Is probable
that the followers of the thoroughbred
will be out in force to take advantage
Of this final opportunity to enjoy their
faVorite sport. The principal feature
Of the card viii be the Au Revoir
handicap at mile and an eighth, for
which several clever performers have
been entered, notably c. G. McCamerty 5
crack Joe Coyne, whose sensational feat
in creating a new coast record Tor a
mile and a sixteenth few days ago
is still fresh in the public mind. The
Raw of Gold handicap at five furlongS
will bring together a classy field of
. year olds and clever fields will COM
pete in the two allowance races that
will bring the seasons racing to a
close.
The first FIVE races yesterday were
won by horses whose odds ranged from
TO 20 TO l. Milshora, winner of the
closing race, was the only successful
favorite.
KIRSCHBAUM OVERCONFIDENT
Kirschbaum's overconfdence con-
tributed TO the defeat of Soundly, IA
vorite in the first race. The mare
wrested the lead from Gottlieben at
the head of the stretch and appeared to
have the race won, but KiTschbaum
failed TO ride his mount out. The con-
sequence was that he was unprepared
for the cyclonic rush with which Crigh
finished and lost to that horse by a
nose in the last stride. Mentry's de-
termined effort to get up with CrigH,
even when seemingly beaten, was in
striking contrast TO Kirschbaum's han
ding of Soundly. Storma ran third.

LUsTIG.s POOR SHOWING
IN spite of being the only horse away
from the post in the third, Lustig, the
second choice, did not finish in the
money. A bad start robbed the race
OF its form. Croix dor, the favorite,

Jockey Kirschbaum achieved a flying
start with Ralph Young in the fourth,

six furlongs and then stopped. The
winner was as good as to 1 at one
stage of the betting.
CANARDo AT LONG ODDS
Canardo at 90 to l was the surprise
Of the fifth. Away none too well, he

was while running in D. A Ross col
ors, was meeting about as cheap a field
as he had ever been pitted against, but
made a miserable showing. Canardo

useful performer under Del Fountain
handling.
Little Gilbert got Milshora away SO
poorly and let her fall so far out of il

her hackers gave up all hope of cash
ing. She made a sensational run
through the stretch, however, and came

easy victory three lengths in front OF
