By j. r. Jeffery

Emeryville a drubbing yesterday that
they will remember for many a day
Public choices finished in front with
clOck-like regularity in the first five
races and the layers retired at the
close OF the days operations with sadly
depleted coin sacks. The victory OF
Sartinmas In the closing race. the only
O1tsioer TO score, was a disastrous
climax FOR the boolies as Martinmas
was extremely well supported for ar
outsider In several OF the races horses
well played for place and show ran as
their hackers desired.
Riding hOnors fell TO Jockey Koerner
who piloted two winners. The track
hardly showed the effects OF the rain

was expected Of him. BathmOnt was
backed from 20 10 I3. but failed tC
show much OF anything.
HAPPY RICE AGAIN
Happy Rice won his third straight
purse for william Walker in the sec
lcnd. Hunter was bothered a bit at the
d art. but had no diffivuIty in securing
lthe lead on the clubhouse turn, and
OILS mount was never thereafter
fnenaced. He had the foot OF his field
land easily led by several lengths al
'the way. At the end he was length
and a half in front Of Fairystreet, who
came from far back to beat Duke OF
orleans by a nose for the place Begun
was prominent throughout. but lost the
place as a result OF swerving all over
the track in the anal sixteenth. and
was beaten a neck for show. Treasure
Seeker fattened out TO nothing after
having gallOped along behind the win
ner to the stretch turn.
w i. Applegate's clever colt. Wool
Sandals, held in the books as an odds
on favorite, only had to gallop to win
the third. Jockey KOerner had the
mount and gave the colt nice han
ding. Borel landed Sam Barbes sec
ond. a couple OF lengths back OF the
winner, and Johnny Lyons, under weak
handling, took third money. Derdom
had an abundance OF early speed, but
backed up very fast in the stretch
and finished in the ruck. Louise Fitz-
gibbOn found the route too short and
was never q serious contender. Ray
Bennett stopped after showing speed.
GOLD LACE HANDICAP
The Cold Lace handicap at five and a
Hhalf furlOnEs. the feature event Of the
A day, was won with the utmost ease by
! N. 3. Jennings famous old sprinter,
Shot Gun. Collector Jessup, Hector
and Mansard were the sprinters whose
measure he took. Always odds on in
the betting. ne gave his hackers no
concern at any stage Of the race
Jockey Graham gave him a perfect
ride. Hector Outbroke him, but the
field had not gone far before Shot Gun
was up on even terms and from that
instant there was no doubt as to the
outcome. The farther they went the
farther Shot Gun left them behind
Mansard, after going to the post sore
made a bid at the head Of the stretch,
but faded away again and finished a
poor last. Collector Jessup easily took
second money Hector stopping badly
in the last quarter. The time was fast,
considering the condition Of the track
Andrew Mack, the fifth favorite, had
q narrow escape from defeat, Mandator
making a great bid at the very end,
but failing 10 get up by a neck. In a
few more strides MandatOr would prob
ably have won. as he was finishing
much the stronger of the two. KOer-
ner's vigorous handling Of Mack in the
early part Of the race probably saved
the day for the favOrite While Mack
was well supported. Mandator also was
well played. The Borgian closed stout

UPSET IN FINAL RACE
The only upset Of the day came with
the final race. in which Rapid Water,
the ODDS on favOrite, lost to the long
shot Martinmas by one and a half
lengths. Rapid Water was never able
TO open much Of a gap on his field and
although koerner gave him one OF his
most vigorous rides he was barely able
TO save the place. Martinmas was
within striking distance throughout
after saving ground at the turn. He
was well supported by a select cOterie
OF the stable connections his odds de-
