By j. r. Jeffery


Mudlarks again had the call
at Emeryville racetraok 'yester-
dav. The track was very slushy
as a result Of the rain OF Sunday
and scratches were numerous IN
consequence. Form was fairly
well observed, however. three OF
the SIX favorites reaching the
wire in front The greatest sur
prise Of the day was the victory
of Warte Nicht al u TO /, with
the exercise boy. Lyourgus, in
the saddle. With the same boy
up Warte Nicht showed abso-
lutely nothing on the occasion OF
his last ont, and his win yester-
day was in the nature of a form
reversal. He was easily the best
of his field yesterday and had no
trOuble IN winning of by five
lengths from Alice Carey and
George P. BIcNear. the fsvorites. Joe
Goss. after having set the early pace
tn this race, quit badly and finished in
the ruck. The Missourian was hot
tip and his price was hammered down
from skies to fours. He dattered his
hackers by taking up the pace wheQ
Joe GOss quit, but little Eddie Dugan
could not hold him together when the
real racing began, and he finished fifth,
after fOundering about badly in the
stretch Duelist ran an improved race
and came from far back TO be fourth.
RACONTEUR A GOOD ONE
Raconteur, the even money favorite.
won like a Crackerjack in the two
year-Old event Willie Dugan was up,
but failed TO get the colt away from
the post as well as he usually does in
q -year-Old race. The field was
well ia motion before Raconteur got
going. but he soon made them all look
cheap. He ran around the others on
the turn as though they were standing
still, assumed the lead at the head Of
the stretch and won ina a gallop, FIVE
lengths in front OF Billy Watkins. The
latter beat Braggart. new starter. a
neck for the place. Miller landed Pres
fdent williams Creation fourth. Irish
Mike, under Indifferent handling by
Conway ran uD on the field from a
poor beginning.
The Keene stable also provided a
winning favorite In the third race AT a
mile. Miller had the mount on Begun,
4 10 8 shot and. after lying second
10 joyful most of the way. came on in
the stretch and won easily Both
horses swerved badly near the pad
dock but the result was in nOwise
affected. Peligroso was a distant third.
BERTHE A stopped badly after being
prominent IN the early running.
LAZELL BADLY RIDDEN
Jockey Miller gave the talent dump
in the fourth. selling race OF the
cheaper sort at one and one-eighth
miles Lazen was an odds-on faVOrite
and Miller rode him I'm a manner that
would have been a disgrace to the
veriest novice He got the horse into
a pocket on the first turn and, instead
of biding his time to get out Of the
iscrape. took back with him and went
around the field on the run down the
backstretch he moved up with La
zeu gradually and was within striking
distance Of the leaders on the last
turn, only to lose All that he had
gained by running into another pockel
al the head Of the stretch. He landed
up next 10 the last at the end.
Orchan won the race in q gallOp al
the lucrative ODDS Of TO 4, after get
ting a flying start and leading all the
way. Orchan was a good horse yes
iterday IN contrast 10 his recent form
That he would run well evidently was
known to somebody, as he was played
down from to 10 2. Isabella and
Ray took second and third money re
spectively at long odds.
VAN NESS OFF FILING
Van Ness was heavily played by the
Eildreth Stable connections to win the
NTH race and the LOyalist gelding, aft
ier long spell OF bad behavior which
the post, made good ia q hot drive to
the wire with Magrane Miuer's mount
Van Ness beat the barrier and Magrane
was always poorly, or the result might
have been different. Williams rode
as for his life and landed Van Ness
first by a half length. Monte Lucille
who had twice before beaten Van Ness
was distant third. as f0res eshadOwe6
by the betting. Sandy had her in the
heavy going through the stretch and
she nred badly.
Barney Schreiber's oaks candidate
Miss Oficious. was a well supported
even-money favorite for the final race
OF the day, but lost, principally. because
iof 8 poor ride by Tommy Sandy. She
was of well, but Sandy let her fall SO
FAR out Of It ia the early running that
he could not make up the lost ground
IN the stretch and landed in third
place The 5 TO j shot Instructor took
the lead from Isolation and Blagg or
the turn, but ran out in the stretch
and this allowed Blagg TO win. In
structor saved the place by nearly 6
length. Eddie DDgan was up on the
winner.
