Gloomy Gus, the lukewarm 3 to 1 favorite for the kindergarten half-mile scramble, was much the best, but met with all sorts of ill racing luck. Bell rode the Burns & Waterhouse entry and soon after the start was cut off by Bob Ragon, ridden by Bonner. Later on he had to pull up for a space of thirty vards to avoid being carried to the outside fence by Golden Idol. Bonner on Ragon escaped this mud- dle and won by three lengths. Gloomy Gus finished strong, beating out My length for the place. Sac- charate tired the last part of it, run- ning fourth. It was through no cleverness on the part of Holbrook that old Pat Mor- rissey took the third, a six-furlong selling run, for the boy tried every way in the world to toss it off. On form Pat looked about the best thing of the day and his price was forced down from 3 to 2 to 1. Pure Dale jumped away in the lead, followed by Alice Carey. Both turned very wide into the stretch and instead of saving four or five lengths Holbrok took Pat out, too, and waited to split the two leaders. By chance he finally did, scoring cleverly by a length. J. T Sheehan, on Pure Dale, was so inter- ested in what was transpiring behind him that Alice Carey snapped up the place by a nose. Goddess of Night | ran a very mild race and at 30 or 40 to 1 some day may display more speed. Henry Spencer, “the iceman,” has not forgotten how to put one over the plate by any manner of means. Henry rode the heavily played Celebrant in the seven-furlong number for three-year- olds and.led Mike Daly’s Judge out with something to spare. The last- named colt had a decided call in the betting over the other starters, and no excuses can be offered for him. Spen- | cer on the winner made a nice t into the stretch, and at all stages of the running held the favorite safe. Soufriere came out of retirement and with no vast amount of racing luck beat Solanus for show honors. Sir Appleby was also pinched out of his position on the back stretch. After an extended vacation Forest King faced the webbing again in the last, a mile and seventy yard selling event, and the Oregon horse’s friends were all down good and thick. At the close he was equal favorite with Hain- ault. Forest King was never partial to weight, and his 110 pounds proved tco much excess baggage. Hainault, extremely well handled by Travers, had the speed of the party and made a runaway race of it. Forest King ran second five lengths in _advance of Diderot. Bonner piloted two winners. Twenty-one bookmakers cut in. Vanderbout, now under contract to Dell Fountain, resembles Owen Mounce when that rider was a boy. Before the race Elliott showed signs of lameness and this fact kept many people from betting on the Racine horse. Mike Daly says he will not start Golden Idol again until he has cured the youngster of his habit of running ow " 6187.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. 27.—One of the Calientes bandits, who precipi- tated the battle in a San Pedro pas- senger coach at Milford at midnight, appeared at the Milford pumphouse at 4 o'clock this morning and gave him- self up. He is fatally wounded. He is shot through the groin and has a bullet in his left side. He gave the name of C. H. Moore. He said he had lain close to the track since the bat- tle in the car, which resulted in the wounding of Marshal Hickman and an Italian passenger, whose name is not known. The wounded bandit is being cared for at Milford, but he can- not recover. Posses are out in all directions scourlng the country for the other robber, who is supposed to be hiding somewhere near by. Officers on both ends of the San Pedro line have been furnished his description and are watching for him. On the person of the robber who surrendered was found $30. In the hold-up at Calientes last Tuesday night about $3000 was se- cured. The officers believe that the bandit who is still at large took his companion’s share of the booty from him when it became evident that the latter was too badly wounded to at- tempt escape. —_—— Discover Treasure of the Incas. NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—Advices from La Paz, Bolivia, announce that the traditional treasure of the Incas has been discovered at Challacatta, cables the Herald's Lima, Peru, corre- spondent. It amounts to $18,000,000. The discoverers are of various nation- alities and are now quarreling over the treasure, although a legal contract ex- ists between them as to the division. The authorities have interfered in the matter. r————— Herrera to Fight Yanger.

Four starters faced the barrier in this event, H. T. Griffin's Bill Curtis being the public choice at 3 to 5. Formaster had a good following at 212 and 3, while Elwood and Sais were the outsiders, at 5 and 7. To a good start Sais went to the front, closely followed by Elwood and For- master, with Bill Curtis last. They were in this position until entering the stretch on the last round, when Curtis forged ahead and won easily by three lengths. The value to the winner was $1910. The first race resulted in a close fin- ish, Jim Hale, Jane Holly (the favorite) Nervator finishing noses apart in the order named. Felipe Lugo, the heavily played sec- ond choice in the next race, went to the front at the start and was never head- ed, winning hand-ridden from Golden Mineral, the odds-on favorite. Sweet Tone was third. The third event went to Neko, the even-money favorite, Marta second and Emir third. Bennett Gray, played from 60 to 1 to 10 to 1, finished absolutely last. Joe Yeager's Waswift was the goods in the fifth, winning all the way at odds of 9 to 5. Greenock was second and C. B. Campbell third. The last race resulted in the surprise of the day, Louwelsea, at 10 to 1, beat- ing the 9 to 5 favorite Canejo handily, with Florestan third. The summary: First race, Slauson course, selling— Jim Hale, 106 (Mountain), 4 to 1, won; Jane Holly, 99 (Hildebrand), 4 to 5, second; Nervator, 105 (Wonder- 1¥), 3 to 1, third. Time, 1:09%.

THOROUGHBREDS ATTRACT CROWD Horse Show at Haywards Is Well Attended in Spite of Threatening Weather RUNAWAY CAUSES PANIC Frightened Stallion Runs Into Group of Spectators, Two of Whom Are Injured HAYWARDS, Feb. 27.—Brightly gowned women, handsome equipages and more than 200 splendid specimens of blooded horseflesh were the fea- tures of the third annual horse show at Haywards to-day. In spite of the threatening weather and the muddy roads a large crowd attended the show, people coming from Oakland, Niles, Pleasanton and even from San Josc to view the exhibit of livestock. At 2 o'clock the parade started from the corner of Watkins and Castro streets, headed by the Foresters’ band, and for several hours Shetland ponies, driving and draught horses and fine stallions filed - past the reviewing stand. The procession was headed by C. L. Groffith’s Bonnie Direct and was divided into four classes, as fol- lows: First division—Thoroughbreds, trot- ting stallions, mares, geldings and colts. Second division — Draught horses, geldings and colts. Third di- vision—Double drivers, singlesdrivers, ponies and saddle horses. Fourth division—Double carriage horses and single carriage horses. Legrand Tur- ner of Haywards acted as grand mar- shal, and beside him as chief aid rode little Miriam Meek, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Meek. The aids to the grand marshal were Frank Rose, Niles; ‘Frank Fennon, Liver- more; Charles Windler, Walnut Creek; John Morris, San Ramon; Harold Meek, San Lorenzo; S. McIntosh, John Smith and Clarence Magnes of Hay- wards. William McDonald of Liver- more acted as announcer. But one accident occurred to mar the pleasure of the day. A black stallion owned by C. M. Buck of Hay- wards and driven by his son, Harry Buck, took fright at a fluttering news- paper near the corner of B and Cas- tro streets and dashed into the crowd on the sidewalk, causing a wild stam- pede for safety, in which Mrs. Joseph Olivera of Ashland and Robert Kuer- zel of Oakland were thrown down and severely trampled by the .panic- stricken spectators. Miss Miriam Meek, who was riding the little Shet- land pony, Robinson Cruso, was di- rectly in the path of the runaway and had a very narrow escape, the wheel of the cart to which the big stallion was harnessed just grazing the pony's side. RAIN PREVENTS TENNIS PLAY MURDOCK BEATSGRIFFIN They Meet in Practice Set and the Alameda Crack Proves Vietorious in Match SRR The rain again interfered with the | championship tennis tournaments I scheduled to Be played on the East { Oakland courts. After considerable work with mop and broom, the courts were made dry enough to play on, but the rain came down in torrents and play was called off. The players from this side of the bay will go over early this morning, so that the tournaments can be completed as far as possible to- day. Play will commence at 9 o'clock. A large delegation from both the Gol- den Gate and California clubs will cross the bay to witness the annual struggle for the Alameda championships. Clarence Griffin and Percy Murdock played one practice set and it was an excellent one. The Alameda crack had to extend himself to win as his oppon- ent was at his best.* The score, in Murdock’s favor, was 6-4. The California Club courts in this city were crowded with players yes- terday afternoon eager for a game after their long confinement. All five courts were given over to doubles. Only those players who were on hand early managed to get in a few sets before the heavy shower drove them to cover. A good doubles was interrupted when three sets had been played. C. J. Smith and Harry Rolfe ‘won the first two sets from Drummond MacGarvin and Sidney Salisbury. The latter were playing' a much stronger game in the third set, which they won easily. Frank Mitchell and Joseph Tobin were forced to quit after six games had been played. The score in Mitchell’s favor was 4-2. The following matches were played: Herbert Long beat Melville Long, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2; Glenn Cogwill and George Wilcut beat Bradley Wallace and Her- bert Goold, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4; C. J. Smith and Harry Rolfe beat Sidney Salisbury and J. D. MacGavin, 6-4, 8-8, 2-6 Frank Mitcheli beat Joseph Tobin, 4-2; | A. W. Worthington and W. F.
