The track was slushy, with a good bottom, and this proved con- fusing for the “'dope” students, who tried all day to make some of the old-fash- ioned mudlarks win, when the going was mushy and sticky enough for them. For this reason the ring was loose in its quotations about Mr. Farnum, Frank Mayo, Hesper and Horton, the latter clos- at 7 to 1. he six furlong -handicap brought to- | kether Stuyve, Gravina, Dainty and Syl- via Talbot. The last named filly, with only eighty-nine pounds to handle, finally closed a slight favorite over Gravina and | Stuyve. Against Dainty, the Jennings 30 to 1 could be had, and the filly came within an ace of turning the trick. STUYVE STOPS BADLY. Stuyve went out in the lead and in the run home dled away while apparently only galloping. Waldo then shot to the front vina.

From all accounts Peter J, which closed favorite for the opening sprint, was backed in the poolrooms at Hot Springs, Hongkong, Mozambique and Cairo, Eegypt. C. Kelly was skipper of the good thing. - With port in sight, Bonner dropped ‘along with Mr. “arnum, a 12 and 1> to 1 shot, and dropped anchor first, Creed- buoy, when it looked as if he might win EDINBOROUGH IS THIRD. Harry Stover's big horse Edinborough certainly looked to have dropped in a soft spot in the six furlong affair follow- From 6 to 5 the odds dropped to 9 to 10. He finished third, never being able to take the lead. Birkenruth, astride Frank Mayo, backed from 12 to 7. hugged the rail through the stretch and downed Pig- tonius somewhat easily at the wire, Although heavily played to win the mile and a furlong selling event, Dr. e the 6 to b5 favorite, ran uffering from lumbago.

After Hainault, a 15 to 1 shot, ridden by L. Wilson, had cnt out all the running, C. Kelly brought Horton from far back among the rear division, winning with ease. Mocorito ran a surprisingly good race, finishing third. Bright Phoebus, made favorite in the bet- ing, cut no figure whatever in the run- ning.

Kelly broke it up badly | with The Major, though finally getting up in time to take the place from Ora Viva. —e NOTES OF THE TRACK. The judges were not satisfied with the com- plexion of the last race, and it will be thor- qughly investigated. Ed Kripp, who purchased Beau Ormonde at the Macdonough sale, is the owner of a ranch near Sacramento, and intends going into the breeding business. Ed won $4200 over the victory of Frank Mayo, so he considers now that his recent purchase stands him nothing. It was unfortunate that Mr. Farnum felt so ®ood just the day that Peter J donned his best suit of clothes. The first named horse was a warm one down at the New Orleans pooi- rooms. Had Lewis, on Isabellita, not been asleep at the post, the Baldwin mare could have won. The judges might do well to purchase alarm clocks for some riders whose mounts recede in the betting. Dainty is Walter Jennings' candidate for the California Oaks. Gaviota, it is said, has gone wrong, which makes Dainty loom up rather promising Willie Shaw, the New York favorite, will pilot The Fretier in the Lissak handicap this afternoon. In past seasons this event nished some splendid contests, rigan, Lord Badge, worth, Ciaude and T bered ‘among th is _assured, The jockeys' annual ball at B'nal B'rith Haii to-night promises to attract a large crowd of amusement lovers from among turf goers.

JUNIPS T0 DEATH FROM FERRYBOAT Unknown Man Leaps Into Bay Off Deck of Berkeley. An unknown man ended his Jife in the bay yesterday morning by jumiping from the upper deck of the ferry-boat Berkeley as she approached her slip at the foot of Market street. Boats were launched from the ferry-boat Encinal and from the United States cruiser New York, but a systematic search was unrewarded. The suicide sank when he struck the wa- ter and did not reappear. His hat was picked up, but affords no clew to his iden- tity. The unknown was a passenger on the 9 o'clock trip from Oakland. The Berkeley was slowing down preparatory to enter- ing her slip when a man wearing a dark overcoat was seen to step to the rail and jump overboard. His hat was a black derby, 7% in size, with the name of Lundstrom, a San Fran- cisco hatter, stamped on the inside. —————————— South Bay Yacht Club Officers.

Mlckey. and no trace of the eriminals was left. It Is the belief of the detectives detailed on the case that the criminals intended making a whole- sale raid n the house, but were frightened away before they had an opportunity to accomplish their purpose. How they en- tered or passed out no one knows. The employes of the house were questioned, but denied that they had seen any one other than those occupying rooms in the house on the premises. It is the opinion of the police that the crime was committed by gembers of a gang of thieves who have been responsi- ble for several simllar burglaries commit- ted within the last two weeks.

It all came about through the latter agreeing to fight the winner of the Attel- Hanlon fight at 128 pounds, weigh in at 6 o'clock. As Britt had glready consented to meet Corbett at that welght at 3 o'clock there secmed a possibility of a comprumise. *“Young Corbett” was com- municated with, but no word was re- ceived from him. His offer to meet either Attel or Hanlon at 128 pounds is a foolish one, as neither of these boxers is within six pounds of that weight. Al Hereford is still hopeful of match- ing Britt and Gans. His latest offer is for the Californian to take the entire purse if he stays twenty rounds.
