gameness whel. 1t came to drive.
An excellent program had been ar
ranged for the afternoon and large
crowd was present to enjoy the rare
sport incidentally, twenty-five bookes
that cut in were separated from the
greater part of their bankrolls, as flVe
fayorites, a second choice and Lee
Harrison IL, backed from TO Az to !,
were returned winners. 1t was the
worst day the bookmakers have had
this season, and not single knight OF
the chalk and rubber was winner on
the afternoon.
In the Colin stake Lee Rose, the st.
Avonicus colt for which j. ]. Walsh
recently paid $S000 proved himself to
be the best youngster shown this year
on the coast, as he won the stake in
canter, running the five furlongS In

barrier and got him off length be-
hind Aunt Aggie. Aggie led to the mead
of the stretch, where Lee Rose took
command and won as his rider pleased.
Contention for Place
The real contention of the race was
Tor the place and show. Del Cruzados
caught Aunt AgSie tiring at the pad
deck gate and in a hard drive Miller
managed to get Del Cruzados' nose III

finishing like cyclone. She would
have been second in another jump.

bettors till the odds dropped to to 4.
Nfusgrave was up and got her away
nicely, made every post winning one,
and her hackers have him to thank for
cashing, as he handled her nicely, just
managing to make her last long enough
TO get the verdict from Matte Bumppo,
Tottenham, Airs and Matador, which
finished heads and noses apart.
The talent figured the second race
strictly two-horse affair, and Col. Bob,
and c. w. Burt both closed about
equal favorites. though a heavy play
j at post time forced Bobs odds to to 2.
il was a strictly two-horse affair all
right, {. w. Burt taking the lead en-
tering the stretch, with Col. Bob
length away. At the paddock gate Tay-
Tor moved Bob up and in drive, with
both boys riding hard, Bob got his nose
in front on the action of a nod, with
Marias and All Alone fighting out every
inch of ground for the short end of the
Purse, which went to Marias by nose.

ism in the third race, closing at l to 5,
Edwin #. Fryer held his own at IS and
Orilene closed at 6s. Colonel Jack and
Dominus Arvi ran head and head for a
quarter, when Miller, on the latter
resorted to rough tactics, carrying

Burns Beats Miller
Burns beat Miller at his own game
by pulling Colonel Jack over abruptly,
causing Miller to pull up. From there
on Colonel Jack won all the way in
canter. Light Wool was third until he
faltered. and Fryer avoiding the early
pace, finished with rush to be second
easily. Orilene loomed up dangerously
at the three-furlong pole, but hung
when 1t came to drive and beat Light
Wool but a head for third money.
Dominus Arvi was pulled up by Miller
in the stretch after he was hopelessly
beaten. The mile was run in 1:3S, and

il ridden Colonel Jack would have
broken the worlds record for the dis

distance trihe too far and quit when
the real racing began.
