Four public choices were counted out, Massada and Bonar were the surprises of the afternoon. TAWASENTHA BRATS GRACE G. Tawasentha, the fast black flliy from the Oakland stable, scored her second pair of brackets by defeating a bunch of clever omes in the baby race. She went | to the post a 13 to 10 choice and, well rid- den by Radtke, finished more than a ‘length ahead of Grace G at the wire. Blue Bottle, third. Charley Henshall let Massada run loose and the mare cleaned up in the second at odds of 8 to 1. Marie H, the second choice, made the running until well straightened for home, when Olark came with a rush on Massada, scoring by a couple of lengths. The show went to Chablis, a 75 to 1 shot. Princess Wheeler, the 2 to 5 favorite, after being badly messed about ran fourth. the mount of Knapp, ran Probably the presence of Ninna- squaw scared Royal Rogue from the seven-furlong. selllng run, for the scratching blank retired the Nealon eprinter. Then Ninnasquaw, a visitor from Ascot Park, received substantial support at scant odds and won almost at leisure from Laura F M and Yo San. The former mare stumbled at the start or she might have been more difficult to beat. TOMMY CLARK’S POOR RIDE. Tommy Clark*rode a poor race on Montana Peeress, favorite for the mile selling fixture. He took off the pace on the backstretch when there was no occasion for it, and finally @ropping down on the rail, where the footing was not the choicest, finished un- placed. Bonar, from the stable of Btevens & Son, a 6 to 1 chance, ridden by Teddy Robinson, beat Major Tenny out a length. Chief Bush took show honors from Isabelita. The Mighty, from Garnet Ferguson’s barn, beat a.couple of hundred to one chances In the last, but that failed to get his backers anything. Dargin, the Schreiber entny, led into the stretch, where Clark made his move with Mar- tinmas, the Henshall sprinter, earning the verdict by nearly a length. Hugh oGowan, & 50 to 1 shot, ran into the show. NOTES OF THE TRACK. Tommy Clark came close to belng | the entire showain the saddle, reaching the wire first with three winners, For three days in succession horses from the Henshall stable have won two of the eVents on the menu. Charley certainly has a gem in Trainer Casey. Solomon Bonuer, the colored rider, acting on the advice of counsel, report- €@ for duty to W. B. Jennings fester- dey. Last epring Bonner was ruled off the turf by the assoclation across the bay for refusing to ride for. Owner Jennings, after the latter had secured a contract on his services. Bonney will likely apply for reinstatement. Tommy Griffin is rapidly getting rid of his two-year-olds. Jimmy Coffey purchased Nappa and Elindale yester- day and Molera & Josephs bought Palemon. Jockeys W. Dugah and Frank Prior arc up from Los Angeles. Dugan will ride Kugenia Burch in the big handi- cap on Saturday, while Prior has the mount on Dr. Leggo. Bob Harris' string of horses were due to reach Oakland from Ascot Park last night. “Boots” Durnell alsg ship- ped along three, among them New Mown Hay. Dick Williams is headed for Oakland, bag and baggage. Twelve of his horses will arrive from Los Angeles this evening. W. W. Elliott, owner of Lubin, has u car engaged and ships his stable to Hot Bprings next Tuesday. Louis Ezell sends W. R. Condon in the same car. Jack Keene has made all arrange- ments to depart for Memphis on Wed- nesday next with his horses. Jockey Radtke will accompany him. Several of the candidates for the Hurns were sent the distance yester- day morning at Oakland. Dr. Leggo covered the mile and a quarter in 2:18, with welght up, Eugenia Burch, 2:17 handily; Jake Sanders, 2:153-5, and Veterano, 2:40.- The latter 1s a poor work horse, With the declarations now in, the probable starters for the Burns handi- cap on Saturday are as follows: Bugonia Birch. 150", Du nia Burc! 2 Laubtn, 126, W, Davis, . 3 Prior.
