Al koenigsberg' unbeaten hlly Rose
Queen broke the California record for
four furlongs when, with ia pounds
up. she ran the distance in AZ 10 sec
onds in winning the 2 year old race at
Emeryville yesterday. The previous

wins Cruzados with los pounds up. The
Emeryville track record prior to Rose
queens performance of yesterday was
en- seconds, which mark was made by
Lobos March 10. 1888.
Rose Queens feat yesterday
strengthens the belief which has been
entertained IN some quarters that this
speedy daughter of Kingston hite
Rose may prove to be the superior Of
J. J. Walsh's crack colt Lee Rose,
whose early victories over the pick
Of the year olds on the coast led to
his being proclaimed champion of the
Juvenile division Lee Rose has been
beaten twice out Of seven starts. while
Koenigsberg's speed marvel has won
with ease and in fast time all four
races in which she has started. The
prospective meeting Of these two cracks
in the Bell stake Saturday viii arouse
keen interest IN that event and may
decide the question of superiority.
VICTORY is CLEAN CUT
Rose Queens victory of yesterday Y
was as clean cut and decisive as her
previous triumphs had been. She ruled
fsvorite around even money and her
hackers were not given a single in
stant's uneasiness, as she was able to
outrun her field, including the speedy
On Parole, from start to finish.
There were some who looked to see
On Parole head her in the early stages,
but the crack colt from the keene
stable had to be content with playing
second fiddle on this occasion. On
Parole had all his foot with him, but
Rose Queen smothered him with speed
from the instant that the barrier
went up.
Rose Queen won by as much as
Jockey Miller pleased, and On Parole
was barely able to withstand Work
Box's closing bid for second money.
The latter was deficient in early speed,
but closed stoutly under the whip, and
on Parole beat him by only a neck
