TWO RACES ARE
MADE TO ORDER
EVENTS LOOK SUSPICIOUS TO
THE TALENT
One Long Shot Puts Pork and Beans
Within Reach Of the Plkers.
Four Favorltes Deliver
the Goods

the Goods
Four favorites. two second choices
and a 10 to 1 shot came in winners at
Ascot yesterday afternoon and in ma
iority of the races the finishes were
close. Two races left a bad taste in
the mouths of the public and If John
Boden, the secretary, was here still
they would never have come off, as
Boots Durnell, who got into disre-
pute here last season and who is run
ming his horses under the nom de
plume of "Burlingame Stable" had two
races framed for his convenience,
which were won by Fireball and Laura
f M. The third and fifth races were
not true run races and looked IKE
'shoo-ins," and were not won by the
best horses. Dominus Aryi finished
second in the fourth race but was dis
qualified for fouling Mintia and was
placed last. Ding Dong II swerved in
front of F'oncasta in the fifth race,
which cost the latter the race, but the
judges for some season or other did
not disquaify the winner and many
unsavory remarks were made by the
talent.
Outsider Takes Place Money
Barota was made favorite in~the first
race at 21k to l. Merry Sport closed at
z to /. Salario closed a point higher
and Mike Jordan was an outsider at
20 to /. Ross got Merry Sport off well
and she won all the way from Mike
Jordan, which was close to the pace
all the way. Salario ran his race and
had no excuses. Barato was shut out
on the turn, but for this would have
finished in the money.
The second race was made to order
for Laura F NJ, and she only had to
gallop all the way at to 5. In drive
Pinta outgamed Ballota for the place
money. The latter swerved badly un-
der the whip. 1t was a three horse af-
fair all the way.
Common Sue, played from 21a to 2 to
1, took the lead early, while Elancer
laid second and Belchamber third.
Kunz made his move on Nappa when
the race was over and was pounds
the best Belchamber was pocketed in
the stretch and with clear sailing
would have won. PEPPER and Salt could
not get through on the rail and was
running all over horses when Ross
found an opening. Do not consider
this race for future calculations, as 1t
was not a true run fair.
Ready-Made for FirebaII
Fireball was dropped in he fourth
race, which was made to order for
him, and he had a walkover, as the
Dulin pair, Silver Stocking and Zelina,
were playing hide and seek on the
turn and both tried to run in the pad
dock gate. Dominus Arvi, at 60 to /,
bumped Mintia all through the stretch
and beat Mintia a nose for place, but
was disqualified and Mintia was placed
VI.
Dulin pair were fit subjects for the
morgue.
The two mile affair went to Ding
Dong II, which was backed as though
it was all over but the shouting. Fon-
casta was faVorite at even money and
Adonis closed at 21a to l, Foncasta
made all the pace for a mile and a
half, when Ding Dong took the lead.
Turning into the stretch Foncasta came
again but Ding Dong swerved in front
of him and in a drive beat him neck.
Adonis had no excuses, as he requires
stronger rider than Brussel. The
others We're always beaten. Throw out
this race for future dope, as it was a
joke.
Sun Mark was played from 21s to tc
in the sixth race. Her hackers hao
heart disease for a while turning into
the stretch when Perry Wickes, which
was running head and head for si2
furlongs, drew away and appeared
winning easily, but Clark got Sun Mari
going again and won by a head from
Perry. Desmages and Antara were al
ways close to the pace but the latte
got the show as Desmages tired badly
the last sixteenth. Sun Mark was rui
up to $500 by R. t. Offut and he go
her.
Favorite in Seventh
Joyner, the to 1 favorite, won tn,
seventh race easily. Ross allowed
Lady King and Walnut Hill to rul
their heads off, then made his NOV,
and won going away. ]. v. Kirby fin
ished like shot and was an easy sec
ond. Lady King lasted long enough t.
show. Needful was bumped near tn,
first turn and Boland fell, rolling unde
the rail and was picked up unconscious
"Dick" Dwyer left last night for New
Orleans. Duke will WELD the flag the
two remaining days.
"Dick" Bauer, accompanied by Jock
ey Talbert, will ship his entire stable
to Jamaica and expects to leave to-
night.
j. F. Newman & Sons will ship theil
string, which includes Don Domo, tc
Jamaica. Preston will do the riding.
The prospects are that there will be
racing at San Antonio next winter. as
a racing association is being organized
for that purpose. The Texas city is
quite a winter resort and j. F. New.
man, who owns large tracts of land
and who is rated a millionaire. will
probably back the organization. A
million dollar hotel is now in the course
OF construction, as there was a scarcity
of accommodations last winter This
place will make a good racing center
as there are several cities close by tc
draw the patronage from.
Today's Probabilities
While there are no fixtures on the
card for this afternoon there are seven
good fields carded to face the starter
The events are well balanced and the
fayorites should be at fair odds un.
less the blue pencil takes out the con-
tenders.
Maiden three-year-olds win go to the
post for the first race. Joan of Arc
looks to be in an easy spot, but She
seems to be hard luck flly, as she
has run several bang up seconds. Fire.
