The Winning Jockeys
Jimmy Carroll and Benny Rollins
were the riding stars of the day, each
qualifying for two brackets. The for
mer, however, took the major portion of
the honors, by virtue of his sterling
victory on Miss Officious. The boy de-

the splendid way in which he rat ID

Gaiety caught the eyes Of the judges in
the seventh race, from a clever field of

Maui No Ka OF
Outside of the hollow victory Of
Denervo over Welcome Boy and Harold
D.. the feature of the pacing race was
the demonstration of the racing abih
ty Of the winner. John O'Rourke was
the trainer Of Denervo and the fact
that the horse won in such decisive
shape after SO short training period,
lis an eloquent compliment to the train
ing method of the old veteran, true
and staunch sportsman.
. Three heats in five decided the race.
All of the starts were good. In the
first heat Denervo and Welcome Boy
raced out like q team to the quarter
where Denervo edged away and at the
half was a length in the lead. The
half was negotiated in 1.04. From
thereon there was nothing to the race
but Denervo who came on to win pulled
up by five lengths. Harold d. was dis
tanced. The other two heats told the
same story. At no stage Of the going
did Welcome Boy have a chance to
"peep." Jack Gibson drove Welcome
Boy, Fl. Mookino was behind Harold D.
and Dan Carey drove the winner.
The Noblest Roman

treasure out of musty antiquity, was

for the win. Murphy and Riley were

Caesar and Nero, but the true Celtic
combination came off to win by them.

by length into the stretch, where they
were passed by the Celts. Battery F.,
First Field Artillery slipped in, in front
of the rest, to cop third money.
Umpqua Disqualified
After considering the protest of J.
COOney, rider of Ypres, who alleged a
foul of his mount in the back stretch
in the fifth race, a half mile free for
all, in which Copra, Umpqua, Ypres and
Heidelberg hooked up, Umpqua was
placed last by the judges, after run,
ming second to Copra, the winner; and
second and third places were given to
Ypres, which had finished third, and
Heidelberg, which was unplaced.
Heidelberg sprinted to the lead early,
set a fast pace under restraint and
went wide at the stretch where COpra
took the lead. The latter brushed off
the mOmentary challenge of Umpuua

stretch.
