THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1895. PLUNGERS WERE ABSENT. Grannan and the Other Heavy Bettors Were Sadly Missed. FOUR FAVORITES ' WIN OUT. Contribution Dumped Hard by Finishing Mainstay. the Crowd Behind The band tried hard to enliven matters at-the track yesterday, but only partially succeeded. he - presence- of = Pittsburg Phil, Riley Grannan and Dave Gideon was sadly missed in the betting ‘ring, and deeper still will be the gloom after to-day, for jovial Barney Schreiber, the most pop- ular bookmaker in the ring, will leave for 8t. Louis to-night. * Of course the bangtails will:continue to run and there-are still ore or two men left that can afford to make a $100. bet, but the absenee of these men leaves a void that cannot be filled. The favorites did fairly well yesterday, winning the first four races, and then the longshots had an outing. Nebuchadnezzar’s brother, the Gypsette gelding, won the opening race for two- 1s, starting an even money favorite, die O, a Red Iron filly, carrying the old familiar orange colors of Diggs, had made it decidedly interesting for him part of: the journey. She tired badly the last few jumps and was beaten out for the place by Vera, & 20 to 1 shot. After: ‘expecting to be out of the race Booladain;, the 6 to 5 favorite for the second race: atfive and ‘a halt furlongs,” waded through his field in the ‘stretch and won handily at the end from Nellie G, the third choice. " Fleetwood finished third. The third -race, a later: edition of the openiing eveilt, a half-mile dash for maiden Ywo-year-olds, was taken in by William Pinkerton; Sam ' Hildreth's " brother "to Rico, who went to the post equal favorite with Merma:d; each having 11 to-5 against the chances at post ‘timie. The Charlotte filly, ranning in the colors of Bookmaker EHumphrey, was backed down from 30 to1 10 tens, but prove talse alarm, finishing Jast. Getting away third, William Pinker- ton took the leadat the turn and was never headed, winning by two lengths from Mer- maid, with W. O’B. Macdonough'’s Donna Carlotta a fair third. If it ever happens to enter the mind of ®Buck ’ Burns, who rode ‘Arnette, that he outfinisned Griffin on Road Runner-he would do_well to eradicate the idea in- stanter. Time was when Burns could get away from the post. with a horse, but now be wants to take the post with him. Get- ting away & poor fifth with the9 to 10 faverite, Road Runner, the second choice, out half a length. Normandie, not within many ounds of what she was once capable of oing, with 50 to 1 against her, wasan in- different third. The next chapter is full of nothing but trouble for the talent. Gracie S opened an 8:to 5 sbot, but o much monéy went in on Mount ‘Air, who was backed down from 12 %o -1 to fours, that the price against the gray mare went back to 13 to b at post time. . Ricardo made his xea;g\earance, starting-in: the colors of S. F. Capp, and the stable made it no secret that they could win. :‘Opening at 30te 1, he-went to the post15 to 1. Gragie S and Nervosa made all ‘the Tun- ning, the former leading until well down' “te stretch, where Nervosa passed her and looked ‘a certain winner. Eighty yards from-the wire Ricardo slipped through on the inside and won cleverly by two lengths, Nervosa second. half a length in frontof Gracie S. On form old Contribution looked:a ““lead pipe’’ for the last ‘race, and- from even money he was sent to the post a 7to10 chance. Broodhead was backed from sixes %o 4 to 1, but was never in it. ‘Asgood as 10 to 1 could be had against Mainstay, and eonsidering his recent performances it seemed to me to be a very long price, especially as it was said-the favorite was a trifle lame: Vigor took Contribution by the head from the jump, being joined at the half by Mainstay, the three entering the stretch heads apart. Vigor tired, but Mainstay, full 'of run, soon had the favorite in trouble and won handily by a length and a half in 1:01. - Clacquer was a good third. The race was a scorcher to the taient, but & boon to. the combination books, the Ari- zona Stable’s sprinter winding up nearly all of these hard-luck tickets. Inthe last race Griffin on - the favorite Contribution was’ fined $250 for disobedi- ence at'the post. MULHOLLAND, SUMMARY.

The law has turned over - the trout thatabides in the | streams to the anglers. - And there are lots | of novelties this season. ! The angling army: will be almost doubled this year, and a-large portion of the re- cruits will be ‘of the-fair sex.

But- no important returns can be ex- pected yet. Nor has the hour of the fly- caster arrived. The streams are swollen and roiley fromn the late rains. But the pleasures -of preparation are bringing coin to the coffers of the tackle- shops. - No ardent fisherman was ever con- tent with his outfit.
