=. The light fall Of rain that set in
yesterday morning affected the going
at Emeryville only to the extent of
dampening the surface of the track.
and II anything tended TO make the
course faster than before. Evidence of
this was supplied by the fact that
Frank Flittner, in winning the last
race OF the day, ran mile and a six
teenth IN 1-45 Is, which was within
a ffth OF a second Of the record. Had
It been necessary he could have bro
Ken the record, as he won in a gallon,
unextended. If it continues TO rain
the going today is likely TO be a bit
muddy.
Two favorites and four outsiders ac-
counted for yesterdays card. AS the
successful long shots were by no
means friendless, the layers failed to
accumulate any profit
PAJARoTTA'S SPLENDID RUN
H. G. BedwelPs speed marvel Paja-
roita, won the Isle City handicap, which
featured the program. in a fashion
which compelled admiration. Pa5aroita
was giving away weight in chunks to
the clever sprinters that contested the
race with him, but he proved himself
equal TO the extraordinary demands
made upon him, and scored in man
uer. which left no doubt Of his su-
perlority. By the scale he was con-
ceding pounds TO Burning Bush, 35
pounds TO Native Son and Is pounds to
3urleigh. Cutting out fast pace, he
led from wire 10 wire and won by more
that a length in :5e 3-5. with Native
Son second and Burleigh third, heads
apart. Burning Bush. which had es-
saved to follow Pajaroita closely in the
early stages, weakened badly toward
the end and was q beaten on last at
;. the wire.
Turns TABLES ON MARSTER
Frank Flittner easily reversed the
outcome Of his previous meeting with
Marster in the closing race of the day.
be remembered, took the measure Of
Flitsner. Miller up, in the Tamalpais
handicap last Saturday. Yesterday
there was another switch of jockeys,
Miller having the mount on Marster
and Cricket" Kelly being up on Flitt-
ner. Marster was opened favorite. bat
the talent, believing that Flittner
should have beaten Marster the last
:time they met, insisted upon playing
: -Fiittner and made him the post favor
D.. ite. In doing so it showed nice dls-
elimination. for Flittner won IN q gal.
Hop. after Kelly had succeeded in taxi
ing him through small opening that
presented llSGIL on the rdll dt the last
turn. Marster barely got UP in the
last stride to beat Ocean Shore. the
pacemaker- into the stretch. for the
place.
WAHoO SHOWS NO SPEED
- The first race looked so open that
the farorite Wahoo, could be had at

shelving none of the speed she ordi-
narily possesses. Banonica, backed by
: Barney Schneider and his friends from
is down to 10, got TO the front at the
:. turn and led her field TO the wire in
handy fashion. Lackfoot, well played
on the strength of stable information
that the horse might be expected to
Improve was a keen contender through
out and easily beat all but the winner.
Cuernavaca came from far back to be
third-
= Nauretania made a runaway race Of
the year old event. Jockey Buxton
got her of IN her stride and she was
able Immediately TO take substantial
. lead, which she constantly increased.
Mozart the favorite, which got UP in
the closing strides to beat Alice George
by q head for the place, was five
lengths back Of the winner at the wire.
Mozart might have been closer up but
for having been cut off right after the
start None of the other contenders
was ever in the hunt.
HACKERS OF BEfMERE LOSE
St Elnwood. winner Of the third,
received such scant support in the
betting ring that his odds drifted back
from s TO TO /, with and 10 In
spots. Everything else in the race
receded, with the exception of Bel
mere the favorite, on which tremen-
dous plunge developed. Belmere lost to
St ElmWood by the greater part OF
length principally because Cricket
Kelly was overanxious and made ex-
csssive use Of the horse in the early
stages. instead of biding his time after
getting shut off before the first six
teenth had been traversed as result
OF the ADVANTAGEOUS inside position
that the horse had at the post. Kelly
inadvisedly rushed his mount to the
front the moment he could get an
opening and took a lead of several
lengths but when st. Elmwood, with
which Tommy Sandy had achieved a
flying start, challenged at the paddock,
Beinere had so little left that he fell
easy prey to the Sobra Vista sprinter.
Timothy Wen. a 20 to 1 shot, finished
a distant third. Yada, the second
choice, was close UP in the early,stages,
but dropped out OF it at the far turn
and never recovered.
PEIIGRosO IS CONSISTENT
Peligroso ran right back to his last
clever race in winning the fifth. Sandy
had him within striking distance Of
the leaders throughout and he gal
loped over them in the stretch to win

been racing out in front with John
Lyle the favorite. lasted TO beat Johns

Gilbert allowed the latter TO fall far
. out OF it in the early stages, and he
came from the clouds, as it were. In
the final drive to take the show. John
Lyle had no excuses. Miller had him

furlongs and then stopped as If short.
