The decision OF yesterdays Emery

was brilliant and in the main formful-
Walter Miller's failure to ride to ad-
vantage Nellie Racine and Fireball.
two fayorites with which he finished
unplaced. furnished the only unsatis-
factory features of the afternoons S
sport Favorites captured half the
card.
E. j. Baldwins Lisaro, in scoring his
fourth consecutive victory within a
short space of time, was forced to
equal the track record OF 1:40 2-5 for
a mile and 20 yards, made last No
vember by s. c. Hildreth's Veil. Lisaro
ruled an odds on fayorite and had the
speed to lead from wire to wire. An
eighth out he had q substantial lead,
but the 80 to 1 shot vox Populi closed
with such resolution that Lisaro scored
by only a scant margin. and Critic,
which finished third, was Tapped on the
leaders. Orilene, which had disputed
the early running with the winner. and
Edwin T. Fryer, the we'll backed Sec
at the end The latter was apparently
unable to raise a respectable gallop.
GoLDSTEIN SCORES
Jockey Goldstein, who came here
from Arcadia some time since with the
reputation of being good rider,
scored his initial local victory when he
handed the lightly weighted Native Son
winner in the Alamo handicap. a five
furlong sprint. in which Stover's geld
ing ruled second choice. Miller made
such injudicious early use of Fireball,
which the public had backed with con-
fidence on the strength of his recent
clever races, that the horse, after be-
ing whipped. hunched and hustled in
an effort to outrun Cloudlight, curled
up in the stretch and stopping to a
walk finished out of the money. Native
Son had been laying along behind the
pace and was able to easily dispose of
CloudMght at the wire. Cruzados,
which ran third, had been cut off in the
early part of the contest, but for which
he undoubtedly would have been closer
up at the end. The time of the race,
:59 1-5, was within two-ffths of sec
ond of the e|track record for Ave fur
longs made by Jack Nunnally last fall.
The talent showed a decided prefer
ence for Nellie Racine in the opening
race and made her pronounced favor
ite after she had been opened at about
the same odds as Belle of Iroquois.
Miller gave her what looked like a
cowardly ride, however, and she fin
ished outside the money. The erratic
Emma came from the clouds TO win
the race. after being backed from 25
down to about Is. Gov. Orman, an
other long shot, after following Bell
Reeds early pace closelya lasted to
place and Belle of Iroquois Just did
nose the favorite out of the show.
OCEAN QUEEN IMPROVES
Ocean Queen showed herself to be
better filly than her previous races
indicated by the manner in which her
-
achieved. Away in a tangle and pinned
in on the rail the first part. she came
with cyclonic rush upon securin 6
clear sailing, gamely wore down the
leaders and won going away. Prudent,
with which Miller had beaten the gate,
was barely able to save the place from
the weakly ridden Mozart, on which
Jockey Finn was making his debut as
stable jockey for William Cahill. Lady
Rensselaer, showed a nice turn of
speed for the first time since her re-
turn from Arcadia. but she failed to
stay.
Tawasentha. the favorite, ran into
long early lead in the third. but
backed up in the stretch and lost by
nose to Elmdale, which made good
with a sensational stretch sprint ju.t
as he had in his previous start Tala-
rand. recent accession from Los An
geles, improved with great sudden
ness. coincident with extensive back
ing, and finished third. after having
been in close pursuit of Tawasentha
into the stretch.
ANOTHER FOR ACKERLY
The consistent L. c. Ackerly won
the fifth in exactly the same manner
IN which his previous victories had
been accomplished. The most heavily
backed favorite of the day. he was
badly outrun the first part put picking
up his field sone by one between the
far turn and the paddock he came
home by himself. Boloman, the pace
maker, just did outlast Elevation for
the place. Gateway, the second choice,
on which Miller had the mount. failed
to run back to his previous good race
and was a badly beaten OF horse at
