He wanted to unwind him- ng and crashed into Ashing d some trainers who were standing he edge of the track. Ashinger was troubled that hurt. He had just en- a hearty stand-up luncheon and ttled it more rapidly than he desired. He seemed to enjoy his lunch- eon, as he stood at the cooking table for over a half hour helping himself to ever; thing in sight with both hands. He scorned to sit down, preferring to stand where he could survey the substantial spread before him. umber of the men were uquets of flowers and Barnaby's trainers, not fo be left In the discard, ovised a bougquet out of a bunch of . He carried this proudly for some he learned its true ) he did so he ate it. near more Joyed the resented Elkes, the American champion distance rider, broke the five mile world’s paced record last evening, follow- Fo r's machine. Fourni , by the way, lessened the welght of his motor cycle fourteen pounds yesterday, by put- ting on lighter rims and tires: It now welghs 135 po The difference was noticeable in reased speed. He adidy for each one miles at a 1:53 of the five clip, the total time being 9 minutes 2{ seconds for the | five miles. Elkes is in such beautiful con- dition that McFarland will have to_look well to himself in their match next Wed- nesday night, at fifteen miles, paced, or he will be beaten. Jimmy Michael, the world's middle-dis- tance champlon; also lowered his mile record made on the track to 1 paced by Fournier. In Michael's case it was the same a They are able to follow ¥ pace set for them, and the faster the Frenchman can go the fast- 1 be thelr time. The people are won- dering what it will be when TFournier gets his motor tandem going this week. Eddie Bald, the champion sprinter, dis- guished himself by riding a half-mile in the speedy time of :362-5 seconds. Downing and Cotter_ of California showed half a dozen Eastern tandem teams the way across the tape in a pur- gult tandem race w citing. In the last heat there were three teams—Downing and Cotter, Stevens and Coulter and ths Turville brothers.

There | hats, breaking of canes, men crying with gone days, for the Eastern horse, What- ir Lou, ridden by Charlie Thorpe, won | be drawn. By the conditions What-Er | "The Grand Court of California will meet | Lou was asked to carry 119 pounds, and | n the 2d of May, when | many, knowing his dislike for weight, fig- | ured that after he had once covered the | distance—one mule and a furlong—he | would be all out. Still he ruled a warm | 6-to-5 favorite. Thorpe and the bay horse | took the first heat in rag-time, stepping | the journey in 1:3. Bullman, on Red | Glenn, contented himself with taking matters very quletly, finishing a subduedl second, four lengths ahead of The Bache- lor. After this, the heat winner was a 1 to 2 chance. Cooling out well, What- | Er Lou came out and took the deciding | heat, in much the same manner as the | first. Red Glenn once made a bluff, but fell back, and The Bachelor, heavily backed by the inside set, beat him for the | place. This heat was covered in 1:54%, | and What-Er Lou was ridden out to the | last ounc The favorites were in a soclable frame of mind, with a couple of exceptions, cap- turing four of the purses. In the fourth event, with a big fleld going to the post, an accident was narrowly averted. On | the back stretch, Gilberto and Scintillate fell, but Jockeys Powell and Woods for- ¢ escaped with slight brulses. haw Bros. captured the opening run, over one mile and a furlong, with Imp. Mistral II. The English-bred horse had a strong call in the betting, and at the finish won with nothing to spare from Wheel of Fortune, the second choice. Claudiana was out in front for a plece, but blew up speedily. Roadrunner, a 100 | to 1 shot, was ridden Into the show by Powell. . The result of the mile and a quarter handicap was a “Waterloo” for the tal- ent. Ferrier, with Hennessy in the sad- dle, recelved extensive support at the short price of 7 to 10, and was outfooted the entire route by Our Climate. The lat- ter, piloted to perfection by Doane, was 4 4nd 5 to 1 in the ring. Tom Smith | made a stumble over the last hurdle, los- ing the show to Tortoni. fleld of thirtcen platers faced the webbing in the mile selling race. Magnus, the mount of “Skeets” Martin, was a 13 to 5 favorite. Away first, the first choice was never headed, winning hard ridden from the 20 to 1 shot, Bonnie Ione. C‘l]u!ake, another outsider, finished in the show. The second mile selling affair developed a surprise. Merops, ridden by Devin, and 10 and 12 to 1 in the betting, headed his fleld in the run home, and in a hard drive led Sardonic_out half a length. Nash Turner on the favorite, Opponent, met with his usual luck, landing outside of the money. The mile and a furlong handicap ended in a pretty duel between David Tenny, carrying top welght, and Adolph Spreche els. “Tenny was an even-money favorite, and in a desperate drive “Skeets” Martin hustled him by the Whmlng!&os! first by a nose. The light-weighted Mistleton fin~ ished third. Track Notes. Robert W. Pinkerton of the great de- tective agency was noticed among the crowd. The latest edition of the form book was placed on sale yesterday. It contains a complete record of all races run to date. George Charette, one of the Merrimac heroes, and two brother officers of the Iowa, enjoyed the sport from the club house balcony. ‘When Scintillate, which fell with Powell in the fourth event, scrambled to her feet, she started on a dead run for the back stretch gate. She smashed the up- gt-r ralling, and_in the scrimmage, G. yder, trainer of The Fretter, was seve: 1y injured. “Kid” McCoy, the famed boxer, was about the ring, shaking hands with East- ern acquaintances. Before the second raée was run the “Kid"” had signed arti- cles with a turkeK sandwich, that would have caused a jockey to have been posted ten pounds overweight. Joe Harvey lost his good mare, Wheel of Fortune, yesterday. Trainer Fisher entered her in the openlng mile dash to be sold for $300. She finished second and was claimed by Hugh Jones, owner of Charley Reif,who ‘“‘also ran' in the same race. Jones afterward stated that he was tired of chasing $2500 horses with “‘crabs.” As Charley Reifl could hardly be expected to capture a fixed race, Bogkmaker Jones’ plaint seems Incomprehensible. It has reached such a point at the track that If a horse changes ownership down in Mexico, the report is at once spread that “Plunger Hill'" or Howard purchased the animal.

WOMEN WERE RATHER BRASH FIFTY-ONE COURSES WERE RUN OFF IN QUICK ORDER. Short Enders That Put in Appear- ance at the Last Moment=Dogs That Should Win To-Day. The crowd at Ingleside Coursing Park was 50 large yesterday that the officers of the Ingleside Coursing Club held a spe- cial meeting, the object of which was to of the grand stand which is known as the betting ring. The women who never miss a coursing meeting felt chagrined when they were informed of the new departurd debarring them from an opportunity of resting thelr tired anatomies against the sides of the pool boxes, but the “new who have had only a limited ex perience in the game, accepted the order to vacate the premises with good grace and wended their way slowly to the ‘“‘up- per deck,” where a magnificent view of the coursing can always be had. The innovation will doubtless be the means of thinning the ranks of women gamblers, who neglect household duties for the al- lurements which are always attached to a game of chance. The managers of In- gleside Park recelved the congratulations of the sportsmen who were present for the move they made in what certainly is the right direction. The coursing yesterday was truly ex- cellent. The hares ran surprisingly well, thanks to Game-keeper Harry Murray, who is considered the superfor of all men in the art of putting hares in condition to give their pursuers courses that are of the grueling kind. The upset of Commodore Nash by Eleven Spot was one of the big surprises of the day, but Byrne's young dog ran like a warrior’ and handsomely defeated the old bread-winner. Miss Skyball and Ber- nice had a hard trial. The hare was a representative of the old guard and it seemingly amused the littie animal to run over several miles of sod in front of its enemies, who were thoroughly pumped when the course ended. Tullamore and Arnot were pretty well used-up when they were returned to their respective handlers. The sport to-day should be first ciass, as the winning dogs of Y‘eslerduy will meet in the slips. Among the noted sportsmen, who will be present to see the races, are Harry Geowtage and W. Crocker of New York. Those gentlemen came to city purposely to become acquainted with the game and to_learn how coursing can be conducted with pleasure and profit for all those who take an Interest in the pas- time. * They propose_to inauguardte coursing in the State of New York on a plan simi- lar to that which made popular the sport in_this State.
