and salt. which won the sixth race. II
a rumoreC that many thousands ol
dollars were taken out OF tne pool
rooms all over the country ana @ @tnere
was quite a play at the track "he'
odds reached s to l. a..
The hest to be had at post time
was to 1. The sport was good as
there were several close finishes. jock
evs Ross and Preston each rode tWe
THE first race went to Taxer, which
got away flying. After Red Garter ano
bribery cut out the pace Knapp sent
him along in the stretch and ne out-
canned Bribery to the finish. Madden
outran early, finished fast and got UP
in time to beat Red Garter for third.
Rama, the to / favorite, took the
lead efter flag fall and was never head
ed. TO win by four lengths. Lucrece
came fast in the stretch, but mad no
excuses and ran her race. Sun Mark
outran early, finished fast and got the
short end of the purse. Netting, heav-
ilv backed. showed speed until the
stretch, where she stopped badly.
Phyz ran a good race and is due to
win soon. Bears watching. Lady Chis-
well went we'll for five furlongs. Med
ding Daisy was poorly handled, as
IIennessey rode her into several pockets
ON the back stretch and then finished
fast on the extreme outside OF the
track.
Taylor George, the even money favor
ite. won the third race easily. George,
Otto Price and Zelina were the only
ones away from the post and had the
race between themselves all the way.
Zelina and Otto Price ran head and
head until the stretch was reached,
where Taylor &c )rge took command
and was never headed. Otto Price ran
his race. Zelina quit in the stretch.
The Major had no chance with the
start and was not ridden hard, as 1t
was of no use.
The public received a severe shock
in the fourth race. KinSman was
played from to S215 to 1. Elmdale
closed at 6 to 1, and Bauble, practically
overlooked in the betting, went from
to 10 to 1. Bauble, Elmdale and
Prince Frederick made all the pace till
the stretch was reached, where the
Landry mare came on and won going
away.
Elmdale was ridde.. out to stall off
Kinsman, which, outrun early, came
like a shot next to the rail and was
running all over horses at the end
Prince Frederick ran well for seven
IurIOnRS, WIleIl lle SOppSu.
Mountebank was ridden very poorly
as Knapp had him pocketed all the
way and messed him about badly
Throw out his race for future calcula-
tions. Prince Ching finished fast and
would have been third in a few more
jumps. Tab him for early action.
The talent had hard time trying tc
pick the winner for the fifth race
Geo. e. Miner and StoeSSel were both
heavily played and closed about equal
choices at to 1. Josie's Jewel closed
at 51% to l. 1t was fine race all the
way, as Geo. e. Miner, Stoessel and
Josie's Jewel ran Tapped until the
stretch, where Miner dropped back and
the other two fought it out to the wire
and Josies Jewel got her head in front.
Stoessel was hard ridden, but was not
good enough. Knapp got Milner going
again and would have won in two more
Jumps, as he was beaten only head
and neck. Cotillion had no excuses.
Foncasta ran a dull race.
The wise ones were whispering Pep
per and Salt to their friends all after
noon. She opened at 5 to 1, went to
8 to 1, then the heavy play made her
price drop to to 1. Ell CaZador was
backed from to to and Lady Kitty
closed at 5 to 1. Blue Bottle, Teddy
Mack and Illusion made the pace, as
they were off flying, and Pepper and
Salt and Ell Cazador were away last.
At the turn into the stretch the field
was punched, with the gray head of
the winner forging to the front. At
the paddock gate Illusion stopped and
Ell Cazador challenged the winner, Pep
per and Salt, but he hung the final fifty
feet under the whip. Lady Kitty
fought gamely and ran her race. Illu-
sion had no apparent mishaps
After Josie's Jewel won the fifth race
she was bid up $400 over her entered
price, but was retained by her owner
for the extra five. U. u. DeArman's S
agent did the bidding. .

Probabilities for Today
What is undoubtedly the best card
that has been arranged at Ascot
this season is offered for this after
noon. The star feature will be the
Ascot Cup at two miles. These lone
distance races are what the public
clamor for, as they are, as rule, races
in which the best horse invariably wins
Besides the cup race there are five
other good events which bring out the
best horses quartered at the track tc
run in their respective races.
The first race calls a good lot OF
babies. Magazine is the selection, as ht
is game, likes the route and beat Cres.
ton the last time they hooked up. Cres-
ton looks easily second best and should
have little trouble TO dispose of Boogel
Red. The latter is very fast, but pre-.
fers a shorter route. Reno Rebel has
