dentally, CIOptOn came dangerously near
to losing the speedy daughter of Ethel
bert. He was not at the stand when
Madeline was offered for sale in the usual
way, and party named Hill bid 800. Alb
came on run from the direction of the
paddock and got up just in time to bid
the customary s. more before the tllly
was Knocked down to Hill The latter,
who is not a horse owner, bid $500, but
another raise of s. caused him TO retire.
The switch from sbriner to Peak
seemed TO work a decided Improvement
in Alivia, On Thursday, when a to 3
favOrite, with ShrineT uD, AliVia finished
next 10 last in a siX-hOrse race, half a
dozen lengths behind Chief Desmond.
Yesterday, with Peak in the saddle, she
finished within a length Of MOllie Mont
rose, among those who followed her in
Oe20g EN02e5 DesI0029 I'D G22I SSOI10,
w2Io vas second IN Thursdays race.
On previous performance, La Dextra
looked like a good thing in the race for
maiden tWO-year- OIds, but q plunge on
CatrOke on the strength of the fact that
she had breezed three-eighths in 80 sec
onds since her arrival from Denver,
caused La DeXtra to reCede in the bet
ting from to to 2 to I. Vests filly
ran back to her work of Friday, a half
mile in As seconds, and that was good
enough to make her win in a gallop. Ca
troke was touted for a good thing on the
occasion of her first start at Butte, but
the fact that she is still a maiden attests
that she was a disappointment then, as
she was yesterday.
Paul Hoffman. who was one Of the big
operators in the ring at Arcadia last win
ter, was among those who cut in at
Buena Vista yesterday. He won pretty
well to the Ethon race, but the best he
could do on the afternoon was to break
about even. That was doing pretty well
at that in the light of the fact that five
taVorltes won, and the winning non-ta-
vOrite, John Louis, was a genuine good
thing, played from 10 to I down TO at
post time.
A headache cost Frank Shannon quite
a tidy sum, or at least the big boy
ascribed what he subsequently pro-
nOUnced bad judgment on his part to such
an affliCtiOn. He considered EthOn a
sure winner of the feature event. and wa
gered 500 on the Pasadena stable horse
with one of his fellow layers at Z to TO-
when by holding EthOn and laying against
the others, he could have got 6 to . for
his money. Shannon is not given to max
ing mistakes, though.
