ny IRVING II. CLEMENT
The first race, which was carded on
the program as a steeplechase, was
run on the main track at Ascot park
yesterday on account of the bad Condi-
tion of the infeld. Bannell was made
the favorite and won by almost a six
teenth and pulled up to a walk. Caza-
dor was second choice but ran far be-
low the form he showed i'm his last
start. The judges were not satisfied
with his running. Although Bannel
had every right to win the race Caza-
dor ran a disgraceful race and the
judges called for the bookmakers'
sheets. After investigating the matter
they suspended the horse, Cazador. and
his rider, Rodrock. 1t is asserted on
good authority that j. G.. Sturgis, the
owner of Cazador, bet on Bannell
This on the surface of the affair does
not look healthy and the officials are
probing deeper into the affair. Thad-
deus was second, while William Par
ish was third. Satchel also ran a bad
race, quite in contrast to her previous
effort and Warren never made move
on her. Throw out this race, as she
ran fit subject for the morgue.
j. A. Bennett furnished the winner
for the second race in King Ahab
who made his debut here yesterday.
He was IL to 1 in the betting. St.
Edgar was backed from Z to 6 to 1,
while Otto Price came in for fair
share of the play at to 1. The start
was good with st. Edgar the first to
show and King Arab second. In the
stretch the latter took the lead to win
easily from ST. Edgar, who was ridden
out to save the place from Little Min
lister, who came from far back. The
others were beaten off.
The baby race went to J. J. Walsh's
Martha Jane, who was coupled in the
betting with Saucy M and We're backed
down to IL to after 12 to l was to
be had at one time. Early Tide was
favorite at to 5 and Kismet Jr. was
8 to l. Off to a fair start Bullman shot
Martha Jane to the front and never
left the result in doubt. Kismet Jr.,
who ran in the colors of her new owner.
was ridden out to beat Early Tide for
place. Saucy M showed speed but
stopped. The others did nothing worthy
of mention.
Sir Caruthers was made the to 10
favorite for the fourth race, while
Belvoir was second choice at to l
and Bauble closed at to 1. Avontel-
1us was IL to l. The start gave the
race to Sir Caruthers, as he was off
flying. but was doing his best to stall
of Avontelius at the end. The latter
was away poorly as Belvoir wheeled

their chances, besides his own. Avon
tellus crept up on the leader and with
better racing luck at the start would
probably have won. In a drive Bauble
took the show money from Belvoir.
Jockey Preston was fined S25 by the
starter for wheeling Belvoir at the
post.
Elizabeth f made it three straights
by capturing the fifth race yesterday
She was lucky to win as Azora, who
she beat a head was much the best.
The latter was ridden all over the
track, after being away none too well
and at the finish Fischer outrode Bo-
land
Woodthrope showed speed for six
furlongs but quit when the real racing
began. Don't consider Gentle Farry'S
race for future calculations, as the
buzzards were lowering around him at
post time.
Los Angeleno beat Reservation, the
favorite, in the sixth race, but had
to be hand ridden to do it. Reserva-
tion usually trails his field, but yester-
day Koerner sent him TO the front to
make the pace but he was beaten by
a better horse. Freesias had little
trouble in beating Markie Mayer for
show. Talbert could not help his
mount any in the stretch.
Mr.. Robert Leighton, secretary of
the Seattle Jockey club, and Mr.. j.
McElroy, a heavy stockholder of the
same club, were visitors at the local
track yesterday.
Charles Kerr sold to A. G. Dunlap
the bay colt Kismet Jr. for $500. The
colt carried his new owners cOlors
yesterday and finished second.
Early Wright got so disguised with
Elizabeth F that he sold her to her
present owner for 5000. She won three
straights and Chris Merkol easily won
her out
