Horses on On Time ~
The track management of Bill Sapor-
tas sent Bill Boy and Cafmelita to the
post promptly at two O'Clock. John r.
Colburn Is Theodore Roosevelt had been
scratched. The break Of Bill Boy at
the turn robbed the first heat Of the
Creola challenge cup race of much of
its interest, Carmelita II, driven by
Macdonald, winning easily by ten
lengths Carmelita ii is owned by
John s. Grace. y
Umpqua caused some trouble at the
start of the five.furlong race, the see
ond of the day, but the horses got
away at two thirty O'Clock, Fair Mary
ahead, but Umpqua, the hands down
favorite, quickly closed the gap, took
the rail and won without the whip, al
though Phillips used the whip on Fair
Mary at the beginning of the home
stretch. He might have spared it. That
a running race really is what takes the
eye Of the crowd over any harness race
was demonstrated by the applause that
greeted Umpqua when he came down
the stretch in a gallop. :
Second Heat Embarrassing 49,. & .
Carmelita and Bill Boy furnished no
heat of the Creola Cup. Carmelita,
driven by Macdonald, finished pulled
up, but this heat was in better time
thanethe first, 1898 2-5 as against 2:25.
In the Oriental Stakes, four furlongs,
the, horses got away at three-fve
o. clock and turned into the home
stretch to an excited murmur from
the occupants Of the stands, Caucasians
and Orientals. This race was for Ha.
waiian-bred, Oriental owned horses.
Pawaa Boy, owned by Mr.. Yamasaki,
got away in the lead and won by four
leugths as the stands arose. The time,
so 3-5, was good for the class of
horses. Soci rode Pawaa Boy. ,
Edward Baldwin's Kapiolani was
scratched for the fourth race. r. W..
Shingles Bubbling Water and Doctor
J. c. Fitzgerald s Copra went to the
post only five minutes late and got
away TO beautiful start almost before
the crowd was prepared. Copra drew
away stride by stride around the turn,
but, under Phillips whip, Bubbling
Water responded with a game burst of
speed and tore into the home stretch,
slowly cutting down the four-lengths
lead of Copra at the half, which was
in ;4S. The Single mare, apparently
hopelessly beaten, ran splendidly, Civ
ing the crowd one of the real thrills of
the day, and went under the wire only
an open length behind Copra, although
it is true that Bubbling Water was I'm
der whip. There were cheers for Rol
Inns and Copra, but for Phillips and
Bubbling Water as we'll. 1t was ex
"ellent sport. 49,
And the Band Plays Dixie

Mrs. W. F. Dillingham's oneonta, in
splendid condition, followed by Capt.

to the post at three-forty six. Donvitz
was mp on Oneonta, which was @ner-
vous; Carroll on Satisfax, the coolest
of the three; and Phillips on Mary Jay.
The start was slow. Mary Jay and Sat

was keyed up--for the money wagered
on the race if for nothing else. The
start was the most difficult Ofsthe day

Again Mary Jay and Oneonta went
to the wire, and starter Paxson warned
Carroll on Satisfax that the next was
his last opportunity. Carroll came to
time, and the horses passed under the
wire at three fifty nine, with Satisfax
and Mary Jay together and Oneonta a
length behind. p, B@

Mary Jay kept up the pace only to
the back stretch, when she faltered and
fell to the rear, and Satisfax and One

The crowd was on its feet at the
start. The black mare Satisfax ran like
a streak, but OneOnta was at her heels
